Katie sits on her old front porch,
watching 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 Ttommy is layin on the horn,
splashin through the mud and the muck

Her daddy says he ain't worth the lip
when it comes to brains he's got the short end of the stick
But Katie's young and she don't give a 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 had 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 holding on to one another
to even care about the show
Later on outside the Tasty freeze
tommy slips something on her hand
He says my high school ring will have to do
'till I can buy a wedding band

Her daddy says he ain't worth the lip
when it comes to brains he's got the short end of the stick
But Katie's young and she don't give a 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 had to run away,
she's gonna marry that boy someday.

Her daddy's waiting up at half past twelve
when they come sneaking 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 don't lose your temper
wasn't very long ago
you yourself was just a hasty plowboy
Didn't have a load of hope

My daddy's said you wasn't worth a lick
when it comes to brains you got hte short end of the stick
But he was wrong and hunny 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.
