A Country Boy Can Survive lyrics

Computer man says it s the end of time
December 31st nineteen ninety-nine
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 till 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 millenium
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 forty-three 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 millenium
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]
