Thank God I'm a Country Boy (live) Lyrics

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Aint much an old country boy like me cant hack
Its early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A 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 suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

When the work's all done and the suns settlin low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
And thank God Im a country boy

Id play sally goodin all day if I could
But the lord and my wife wouldnt take it very good
So I fiddle when I can, 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 suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy, 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'id rather have my fiddle and my farmin tools
Thank God Im a country boy

Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' thats mighty keen
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
And thank God Im a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me old fiddle
When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well, my fiddle was my daddys till the day he died
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
Said, live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
And thank God you're a country boy

My daddy taught me young how to hunt and 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
And thank God Im a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife I got me old fiddle
When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy
