Shes In Love With The Boy

"She's In Love With The Boy"

Written By Jon Ims

Katy's sitting on the old front porch

Watching the chickens peck the ground.

There ain't a whole lot going on tonight

In this one horse town.

Over yonder, coming up the road

In a beat-up Chevy truck

Her boyfriend Tommy, he's laying on the horn

Splashing through the mud and the muck

Her daddy said, He ain't worth a lick

When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick

But Katy's young and man she just don't care

She'd follow Tommy anywhere

She's in love with the boy.

She's in Glove 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.

Katy and Tommy at the drive-in movie

Park in the very last row

They're too busy holding on to one another

To give a hoot about the show.

(To give a damn about the show. - Christine Albert)

(To even care about the show. - Trisha Yearwood)

But later on outside the Tastee Freeze,

Tommy slips something on her hand

He says My high school ring will have to do

Till I can buy a wedding band.

{Chorus

Her daddy's waiting up till 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

But momma breaks in and says don't lose your temper

It wasn't very long ago

When you yourself was just a hay-seed ploughboy

Who didn't have a row to hoe.

My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick

When it came to brains, you had the short end of the stick

But he was wrong and honey you are too.

Katy looks at Tommy, the way I still look at you.

She's in love with the boy.

She's in Glove with the boy.

She's in love with the boy.

And what was meant to be will always find a way

She's gonna marry that boy someday.

She's in love with the boy.

She's in love with the boy.

{This is from Jon Ims original recording. Trisha Yearwood adapted

her version from Christine Albert's version of this song and

changed a few words. Alternate lines are in ()'s

Chirstine does this song in the key of E, I don't know about

Trisha Yearwoods version.}
