Katies sittin on the old front porch
Watchin the chickens peck the ground
There aint a whole lot goin on tonight
In this one horse town
Over yonder, comin up the road
In a beat-up Chevy truck
Her boyfriend Tommy, hes layin on the horn
Splashin through the mud and the muck
Her daddy says, He aint worth a lick
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
But Katies young and man, she just dont care
Shed follow Tommy anywhere
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
Shes gonna marry that boy someday
Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
Theyre too busy holdin on to one another
To even care about the show
Later on outside the Tastee Freeze
Tommy slips somethin on her hand
He says, My high school ring will have to do
Til I can buy a weddin band
Her daddy says, He aint worth a lick
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
But Katies young and man, she just dont care
Shed follow Tommy anywhere
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
Shes gonna marry that boy someday
Her daddys waitin up til half past twelve
When they come sneakin up the walk
He says, Young lady get on up to your room
While me and junior have a talk
Mama breaks in, says, Dont lose your temper
It wasnt very long ago
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
Who didnt have a row to hoe
My daddy said you wasnt worth a lick
When it came to brains, you got the short end of the stick
But he was wrong and honey, you are too
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Whats meant to be will always find a way
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Shes in love with the boy
Whats meant to be will always find a way
Shes gonna marry that boy someday
Shes in love with the boy
