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

Early to rise, I'm early in the sack

Thank God I'm a country boy

A simple kinda life never did me no harm

Raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm

Days are all filled with an easy country charm

Thank God I'm a country boy

Yeah, 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 sinkin' low

I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up my bow

The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low

Thank God I'm a country boy

Yeah, I'd play Sally Goodin all day if I could

But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good

I fiddle when I can and work when I should

Thank God I'm a country boy

'Cause 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

No, I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels

I never was a one of them money hungry fools

I'd rather have my farm, my fiddle, and tools

And thank God I'm a country boy

'Cause I see city folk drive in a black limousine

A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen

Son, let me tell you exactly what I mean

Thank God I'm a country boy

'Cause 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, come on

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died

He put it in my hand and take me close to his side

Said, live a good life, play your fiddle with pride

And thank God you're a country boy

Yeah, my daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle

Taught me how to love and play a tune on the fiddle

Taught me how to love, how to give just a little

To thank God I'm a country boy

'Cause 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

I thank God I'm a country boy
