Moody Blues - Visions Of Paradise lyrics

Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

People put me down 'cause

That's the side of town I was born in

I love her

She loves me

But I don't fit in her society

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Ev'ry night I watch the light

From the house upon the hill

I love a little girl who lives up there

And I guess I always will

But I don't dare knock on her door 'cause

Her daddy is my boss man

So I'll just have to be content

To see her whenever I can

Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

People put me down 'cause

That's the side of town I was born in

I love her

She loves me

But I don't fit in her society

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

One fine day I'll find a way

To move from this old shack

I'll hold my head up like a king

And I never never will look back

Until that morning I'll work and slave

And I'll save every dime

But tonight she'll have to steal away

To see me one more time

Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks

People put me down 'cause

That's the side of town I was born in

I love her

She loves me

But I don't fit in her society

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
