Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
She's in love with the boy
'Til I can buy a wedding band
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday
She's in love with the boy
In this one-horse town
They're too busy holdin' on to one another
She's in love with the boy
She's gonna marry that boy someday
She's in love with the boy
Her boyfriend Tommy, he's layin' on the horn
Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
She's in love with the boy
Her daddy's waitin' up 'til half past twelve
Parked in the very last row
She'd follow Tommy anywhere
My daddy said, "You wasn't worth a lick
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plow boy
To even care about the show
But he was wrong and honey you are too
When they come sneakin' up the walk
Later on outside the Tastee Freeze
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight
What's meant to be will always find a way
Who didn't have a row to hoe"
Tommy slips something on her hand
He says my high school ring will have to do
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
Over yonder comin' up the road
It wasn't very long ago
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
Mama breaks in, says, "Don't lose your temper
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
And even if they have to run away
She'd follow Tommy anywhere
She's gonna marry that boy someday
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
While me and Junior have a talk"
She's in love with the boy
In a beat-up Chevy truck
He says, "Young lady get on up to your room
Splashin' through the mud and the muck
But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
What's meant to be will always find a way
When it came to brains, you got the short end of the stick"
