Billy Dean "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" |
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 and workin' on a farm My days are all filled with an easy country charm Thank God I'm a country boy. Chorus: Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me a 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 and the sun's settlin' low I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow But kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low Thank God I'm a country boy. Now 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, work when I should Thank God I'm a country boy. Chorus: Yeah, I got me a fine wife, I got me a fiddle 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 and jewels I never was one of them money hungry fools I'd rather have my farm, my fiddle and tools Thank God I'm a country boy. Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine A lotta sad people thinkin' ''That's a-mighty keen.'' People, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean Thank God I'm a country boy Chorus: Yeah I got me a fine wife, I got me a fiddle 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. You see 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 Said, ''Live a good life and play your 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 Thank God I'm a country boy. Chorus: Yeah I got me a fine wife, I got me a fiddle The sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle (wooo!) I thank God I'm a country boy...
