Down In The Boondocks Lyrics - Singles - Martin L. Gore

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 

Ev'ry night I watch the light 

From the house upon the hill 

I love a little girl who lives up there 

And I guess I always will 

But I don't dare knock on her door 'cause 

Her daddy is my boss man 

So I'll just have to be content 

To see her whenever 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 that morning I'll work and slave 

And I'll save every dime 

But tonight she'll have to steal away 

To see me one more time 

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 

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks 

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
