She's in Love with the Boy
A/N: The Song is By Trisha Yearwood. It's For their Daughter, Katie.
Katie was sitting on the old wooden steps of the Three Pony Ranch house, watching the chickens peck the road. It was a Friday night and all the chores were done for the night, so there was nothing to do.
Coming down the old dirt road came an old, faded red beat up Chevvy. It looked like her boyfriend Tommy had come. He was laying on the old squeaky horn, driving the truck through the freshly rained on mud and all the muck that comes with living on a Ranch.
Her daddy said he wasn't worth a lick, and when it came to brains he got the short end of the stick. Katie was 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
Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie in town, parked in one of the very last rows. They're too busy holding onto one another to care about the show. Once the movie was done, they headed out to the Tastee Freeze on the way home, Tommy slipped something onto her finger, before they got out and got a treat. Tommy told her "My High-school ring will have to do, 'till I can buy a wedding band."
Katie kissed him on the cheek, before opening the truck door, causing Tommy to kiss her back for several minutes.
Inside Katie' head her daddy's words were running, but she was young and man, she just don't care. "He ain't worth a lick, when it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick."
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy

And even if they have to run away

Her daddy's waiting up waiting for Katie and Tommy to come home. The clock said it was 'til half past twelve, when the two came sneaking up the walk. Opening the door, he caught Tommy kissing his little girl. Breaking in, he told Katie. "Young lady get up to your room, while Junior and I have a talk." Scowling furiously.
Momma broke in, catching Jake' eye. "Now don't you lose your temper. It wasn't very long ago when you, yourselve was an old broke cowboy who didn't have a horse to call his own."
She paused gathering breath for the battle. "My daddy claimed that you weren't worth a lick. When it came to brains, you got the short end of the sick. But he was wrong, and Honey, so are you. Katie looks at Tommy, the way I still look at you. She's in love with the boy, what's meant to be will always find a way."
