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 ole 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 settlin’ 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,and I work when I should
|
Thank God I’m a country boy
|
|
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ole fiddle
|
When the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle
|
Life ain’t nothin’ but a funy funny riddle
|
Thank God I’m a country boy
|
|
Well I wouldn’t trade my life for diamonds and 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 mighty keen
|
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
|
Thank God I’m a country boy
|
|
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ole 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
|
|
Well, my fiddle was my daddy’s till the day he died
|
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
|
Said, “Live a good life and play the 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
|
He Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
|
Thank God I’m a country boy
|
|
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
|
When the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle
|
Life ain’t nothin’ but a funny funny riddle
|
Woah!
|
Thank God I’m a country boy
