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 the farm
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 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
Pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
Kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
And 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, work when I should
Thank God, I'm a country boy
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
Well, I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
Rather have my fiddle and 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
I thank God, I'm a country boy
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
Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died
And he took me by the hand, held me close to his side
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
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, I'm a country boy
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, yeah
