Katie's sittin' on the 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 something 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 hay-seed 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
