Katie's sittin' on her old front porch
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground
There ain't 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, he's layin' on the horn
Splashin' through the mud and the muck
Her daddy says
He ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains
He got the short end of the stick
But
Katie's young
And, man, she just don't care
She'd follow
Tommy anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday
Katie and
Tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
They're 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 wedding band
Her daddy says
He ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains
He got the short end of the stick
But
Katie's young
And, man, she just don't care
She'd follow
Tommy anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday
Her daddy's 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, don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
When you yourself was just a hayseed plow boy
Who didn't have a row to hoe
My daddy said
You wasn't 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
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's gonna marry that boy someday
She's in love with the boy
