Katie's sittin' on her ol' 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 is 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 some day

Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
They're too busy holdin' onto one another
To even care about the show
Later on outside the Tastee Freeze
Tommy slips somethin' on her hand
He says my high school ring will have to do
'Til I can buy a weddin' 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 some day

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'
Momma breaks in, says, 'Don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
When you yourself was just a hayseed plowboy
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 gonna marry that boy some day)

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 some day)
