Billy Joe Royal - Down in the Boondocks (1965) Billy Joe Royal sounds like Gene Pitney :). + Informações

Born in Valdosta, Georgia and raised in Marietta, Royal became a local star at Savannah, Georgia's Bamboo Ranch in the 1950s and 1960s. He is best known for the 1965 Top 10 pop hit "Down in the Boondocks," which, along with the singles "I Knew You When" (Top 20, 1965) and "Hush" (1967), were written and produced by Joe South. His 1969 single, "Cherry Hill Park," peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. During the 1980s, Royal scored a comeback with several Top 10 country hits, including "Tell It Like It Is," "Burned Like a Rocket," and "I'll Pin a Note on Your Pillow." When his rejuvenated career as a country music hitmaker quieted down, he followed up with bookings throughout the 1990s in large country music bars and became a successful act on that circuit.

LYRICS: Today he traded his big '98 Oldsmobile He got a heck of a deal on a new Porsche car He ain't wearing his usual gray business suits He's got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star Cause today he's 40 years old, going on 20 But don't look for the gray in his hair Cause he ain't got any He's got a young thing beside him That just melts in his hands And he's middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can He's got a woman he's loved for a long, long time at home But the thrill is all gone, when they turn down the lights And today he's 40 years old, going on 20 And don't look for the gray in his hair Cause he ain't got any And that young thing beside him, you know she understands He's just middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can Yes, he's middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can.. + Informações
