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

       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
