[Verse 1]
Katie's sittin' on her old front porch
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight
In this one-horse town

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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"

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 5]
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"

[Verse 6]
Mama 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"
[Bridge 2]
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
She's in love with the boy
