Thank God I`m A Country Boy

Well life's on a farm is kinda laid back Ain't much an old country boy like me can hack It's early to rise early in the sack Thank God I'm a country boy A simple kind of life never did me no harm 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 old fiddle When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle And 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 is settin' low I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow But 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... 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 folks drivin' in a black limousine A lotta sad people think that's mighty keen Well folks let me tell you exactly what I mean Thank God I'm a country boy Well I got me a fine wife... 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 He said live a good life play my fiddle with pride And thank God you're 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...
