  Katie's sitting on the old front porch 
C              C               F     G 
  Watching the chickens peck the ground 
C               C             F    G 
  There ain't a whole lot going on tonight 
Am        G         F      F - G 
  In this one horse town. 
C      C       F              G 
  Over yonder, coming up the road 
C      C             F       G 
  In a beat-up Chevy truck 
C               C           F              G 
  Her boyfriend Tommy, he's laying on the horn 
Am                      G            F    F - G 
  Splashing through the mud and the muck 
 
C           C      F                G 
  Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick 
C                 C                  F                G 
  When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick" 
C             C                 F          G 
  But Katie's young and man she just don't care 
Am       G          F      G

  And even if they have to run away 
              F          G        C   C   F   G 
  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 
        Dm              F             G    G 
What's meant to be will always find a way

She's gonna marry that boy someday.
