John Denver "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 kind of life never did me no harm Raisin' me a family and workin' on the 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 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 and thank God I'm a country boy Chorus 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 thinkin' that's a mighty keen well son, let me tell you now exactly what I mean I Thank God I'm a country boy Chorus Well, my fiddle was my daddy's 'til the day he died and he took me by the hand and held me close to his side said, "Live a good life, 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 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 Chorus Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
