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.
