Billy Joel - Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks, people put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in. I love her, she loves me, but I don't fit in her society, Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks. Every night I watch the light from the house upon the hill. I love a little girl that lives up there, and I guess I always will. But I don't dare knock on her door, 'cause her daddy is my bossman. So I just have to be content to see her when ever I can... Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks, people put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in. I love her, she loves me, but I don't fit in her society, Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks. Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks. One fine day I'll find a way to move from this old shack. I'll hold my head up like a king and I never, never will look back. Until this morning I'll work and slave and I'll save every dime, but tonight she has to steal away to see me one more time... Down in the boondocks...
