Thank God I'm a Country Boy

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 kind of life never did me no harm

Raising me family and working on the 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 coming up

I got cakes on the griddle

Life ain't nothing but a funny funny riddle

Thank God I'm a country boy

When then work's all done and the sun is setting 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 Good in 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 old fiddle

When the sun's coming up

I got cakes on the griddle

Life ain't nothing but a funny funny riddle

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 farming tools

Thank God I'm a country boy

Yeah city folks driving in a black limousine

A lotta sad people think that's mighty keen

Well son let me tell you exactly what I mean

Thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife

I got me old fiddle

When the sun's coming up

I got cakes on the griddle

Life ain't nothing 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

Held me close to his side

He said live a good life

Play my fiddle with pride

Thank God your a country boy

Well 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

And thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife

I got me old fiddle

When the sun's coming up

I got cakes on the griddle

Life ain't nothing but a funny funny riddle

Whoa

Thank God I'm a country boy

Yeah
