Thank god I'm a country boy
Well, life on a farm it's kinda laid back
Ain't much and 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, simple kinda life never did me no harm
Raisin' me a family and a workin' on a farm
Days are all fill with the 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 got I'm a country boy
When the work's on done when the sun's settin' low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
Kids are asleep and I keep it kind a 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
[repeat *]
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 the black limousine
Lotta sad people think that's mighty keen
Son let me tell you now exactly what I mean
Thank god I"m a country boy
[repeat *]
Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died
He took me by the hand, held me close to his side
Said "Live a good life and play a fiddle with pride"
Thank god I'm a country boy
Well, my daddy taught me young, how to hunt how to whittle
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
[repeat *]
