Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back |
|
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack |
|
It's early to rise, early in the sack |
|
Thank God, I'm A Country Boy |
|
|
|
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm |
|
A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm |
|
My days are all filled with an easy country charm |
|
Thank God I'm a country boy |
|
|
|
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle |
|
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle |
|
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle |
|
Thank God I'm A country boy |
|
|
|
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low |
|
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow |
|
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low |
|
Thank God I'm a country boy |
|
|
|
I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could |
|
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good |
|
So I fiddle when I can, work when I should |
|
Thank God, I'm a country boy |
|

|
|
Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels |
|
I never was one of them money hungry fools |
|
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools |
|
Thank God I'm a country boy |
|
|
|
Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine |
|
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen |
|
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean |
|
I thank God I'm a country boy |

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's til the day he died |
|
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side |
|
He said...'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride |
|
And thank God you're a country boy" |
|
|
|
My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle |
|
He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle |
|
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little |
|
Thank God I'm a country boy |
