Lyrics
Well, the simple kind of life never did me no harm
Raisin' me a family and workin' on the farm
The days are all filled with an easy country charm
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
I thank God I'm a country boy
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
I 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
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
I thank God I'm a country boy, woo-hoo
Well, I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
Rather have a fiddle than the farmin' tools
I 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
Son, let me tell you 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
I thank God I'm a country boy, yes sir
Well, my fiddle was my daddy's 'til the day he died
He took me by the hand, held me close to his side
Said, "Live a good life and play the fiddle with pride
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
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
Woo, thank God I'm a country boy, yeah
