  Katie's sitting on the old front porch 
C5              C5               F5     G5 
  Watching the chickens peck the ground 
C5               C5             F5    G5 
  There ain't a whole lot going on tonight 
A5        G5         F5      F5 - G5 
  In this one horse town. 
C5      C5       F5              G5 
  Over yonder, coming up the road 
C5      C5             F5       G5 
  In a beat-up Chevy truck 
C5               C5           F5              G5 
  Her boyfriend Tommy, he's laying on the horn 
A5                      G5            F5    F5 - G5 
  Splashing through the mud and the muck 
 

C5           C5      F5                G5 
  Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick 
C5                 C5                  F5                G5 
  When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick" 
C5             C5                 F5          G5 
  But Katie's young and man she just don't care 
A5       G5          F5      G5  
  She'd follow Tommy anywhere 
 

           C5             C5    F5   G5 
  She's in love with the boy 
           C5             C5    F5   G5 
  She's in love with the boy 
           C5             C5    F5   G5 
  She's in love with the boy 
      D5           F5           G5     G5 
  And even if they have to run away 
              F5          G5        C5   C5   F5   G5 
  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 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 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 Mama 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 
        D5              F5             G5    G5 
What's meant to be will always find a way 
            F5          G5       C5   C5   F5   G5 
She's gonna marry that boy someday. 
         C5             C5    F5   G5 
She's in love with the boy....
