Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an 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, a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family & 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 ole 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 & the sun's settlin' low
I pull out my fiddle & I rosin up the bow
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 & my wife wouldn't 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 ole 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
Well, I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds & jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I'd rather have my fiddle & my farmin' tools
Thank God I'm a country boy
Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's mighty keen
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well, I got me a fine wife I got me ole 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
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 & play the fiddle with pride
& thank God you're a country boy
My daddy taught me young how to hunt & how to whittle
Taught me how to work & play a tune on the fiddle
Taught me how to love & how to give just a little
Thank God I'm a country boy
