Shes In Love With The Boy

SHE'S IN LOVE WITH THE BOY

(Written By Jon Ims; as performed by Trisha Yearwood)

-----------------------------------------------------

It's actually either in Eb or E, so capo up three or four frets from

what I typed in....

Katie'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 says, "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 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 holding on to one another

To even care about the show

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"

Her daddy says, "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 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 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 plowboy

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

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....
