Computer man says "it's the end of time"
December 31st, 1999
People buyin' up Army surplus things
Afraid of what the New Year will bring
I live back in the woods, you see
Y2K don't mean a thing to me
I've got a shotgun, a rifle, and a four-wheel drive
A country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn
Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain't too many things these ol' boys can't do
(Including Bocephus)
We grow good ol' tomatoes and homemade wine
A country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
'Cause you can't starve us out, and you can't make us run
We'll survive in the millennium
We say grace and we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
And the Rocky Mountains and the western skies
If the bank machines crash, we'll be just fine
'Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me Bocephus, called me hillbilly (really)
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars, my friend lost his life
Now this dude's gonna get out in a year or two
'Cause the system don't work for me and you
But a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
'Cause you can't starve us out, and you can't make us run
We'll survive in the millennium
We say grace, and we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn
We're from North California and South Alabam'
And little towns all around this land
If the bank machine's crash, we'll be just fine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
(Any year, anytime)
