Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill
But I don't dare knock on her door
'Cause her daddy is my boss man
So I have to try to be content
Just to see her when ever I can
One fine day I'll find the way to move from this old shack
And I'll save ev'ry dime
To see me one more time."
Listen to Billy Joe Royal singing Down in the Boondocks here.
Thanks to Anni for the inspiration for this week...linking to her Thursday Theme Song.

I remember that song and now it will be going through my head all night. Great pictures to go with it!
Your photos really go along with the song . Awesome! Plus it's a song that I rally liked.
I listened to the 50's channel on Sirius Radio for quite a few states on that road trip. How many times did I hear that song? Don't ask.
I haven't heard that song in years. Your photos are perfect for the lyrics. The old house is definitely a contrast to the mansion. I love the fountain.
Fun song and loved the photos. Just perfect. Have a lovely day, Linda!
Lindas fotos acompanhadas de uma bela música são dois elementos fantásticos!

Who wouldn't want to sit and watch that house. It is beautiful and I am sure full of beautiful things.

I loved this song as a young girl. So happens I lived on a hill just not in a house like this! LOL!
Love the simplicity of these few you used to get the whole presence of the song story told - well done!
Lovely post, Linda! Good choice of song.
