Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back Ain't much a country boy that he can't hack It's early to rise, early in the sack And thank God I'm a country boy Well, the simple kind of life, it never did me no harm Raised me a family working on the farm The days are filled with an easy country charm And thank God I'm a country boy Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle Thank God I'm a country boy When the work's all done and the sun's set low I pull out the fiddle and rosin up the bow The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low And thank God I'm a country boy Well, 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 And thank God I'm a country boy Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle Thank God I'm a country boy Well, my fiddle was my daddy's 'til the day that he died He took me by the hand and held me to his side And said, "Live a good life and play the 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 the clay and tune on the fiddle Taught me how to love and to give just a little And thank God I'm a country boy Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle Thank God I'm a country boy
