Thank God I m A Country Boy lyrics
Songwriters: Sommers, John Martin;
Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain t much an old country boy like me can t hack
Early to rise and early in the sack
Thank God I m a country boy
A simple kinda life never did me no harm
Raisin me a family and workin on a 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
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up my bow
Well, the kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God I m a country boy
And 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
Yeah, I got me a fine wife, I got me a fiddle
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 and jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I d rather have my farm, my fiddle and tools
I thank God I m a country boy
Yeah, the city folk drivin in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin that s a mighty keen
People, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
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
See, my fiddle was my daddy s till the day he died
He took me by the hand, held me close to his side
He said, "Live a good life, play my fiddle with pride
And thank God you re a country boy"
Yeah, 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, 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
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
