Katy’s sitting on the old front porch
G C D
Watching the chickens peck the ground.
G C D
There ain’t a whole lot going on tonight
Em D C
In this one horse town.
G C D
Over yonder, coming up the road
G C D
In a beat-up Chevy truck
G C D
Her boyfriend Tommy, he’s laying on the horn
Em D C
Splashing through the mud and the muck
G C D
Her daddy said, He ain’t worth a lick
G C D
When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick
G C D
But Katy’s young and man she just don’t care
G C D
She’d follow Tommy anywhere
G C D
She’s in love with the boy.
G C D
She’s in Glove with the boy.
G C D
She’s in love with the boy.
Am C D
And even if they have to run away,
C D
She’s gonna marry that boy someday.
G C D
Katy and Tommy at the drive-in movie
G C D
Park in the very last row
G C D
They’re too busy holding on to one another
Em D C
To give a hoot about the show.
(To give a damn about the show. – Christine Albert)
(To even care about the show. – Trisha Yearwood)
G C D
But later on outside the Tastee Freeze,
G C D
Tommy slips something on her hand
G C D
He says My high school ring will have to Do
Em D C
Till I can buy a wedding band.
Chorus
G C D
Her daddy’s waiting up till half past twelve
G C D
When they come sneaking up the walk
G C D
He says, young lady get on up to your room
Em D C
While me and junior have a talk
G C D
But momma breaks in and says don’t lose your temper
G C D
It wasn’t very long ago
G C D
When you yourself was just a hay-seed ploughboy
Em D C
Who didn’t have a row to hoe.
G C D
My daddy said you wasn’t worth a lick
G C D
When it came to brains, you had the short end of the stick
G C D
But he was wrong and honey you are too.
G C D
Katy looks at Tommy, the way I still look at you.
G C D
She’s in love with the boy.
G C D
She’s in Glove with the boy.
G C D
She’s in love with the boy.
Am C D
And what was meant to be will always find a way
C D G
She’s gonna marry that boy someday.
G C D
She’s in love with the boy.
G C D
She’s in love with the boy.
