Lyrics:

Katie's sitten 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 is 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 don't care
she'd follow Tommy any where

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 gunna marry that boy someday

katie and tommy at the drive-in movie
parked in the very last row
they're to busy holdin' on to one another
to even care about the show

later on outside the tastey freeze
tommy slipped somthin' on her hand
he says my highschool ring will have to do
till i can buy a wedding band

her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
when it comes to brains he's got the short end of the stick
but katie's young and, man, she just don't care
she'd follow Tommy any where

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 gunna marry that boy some day

her daddys waiten up to half past twelve
when they come sneaken up the walk
he says young lady get on up to your room
while me and junior have a talk

momma breaks in and says you don't loose your temper
it was't very long ago
when you yourself was just a hasty plow boy
who did't have a load of hope

my daddy said you weren't worth a livin'
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 ment 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 ment to be will always find a way
she's gunna marry that boy some day
