Well life's on a farm is kinda laid back, |
| [00:04.03] |
ain't much an old country boy like me can hack. |
| [00:06.08] |
It's early to rise, early in the sack: |
| [00:09.02] |
Thank God I'm a country boy. |
| [00:11.02] |
|
| [00:11.09] |
Well,A simple kind of life never did me no harm, |
| [00:14.05] |
raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm. |
| [00:16.05] |
My days are all filled with an easy country charm: |

| [00:28.05] |
Thank God I'm a country boy. |
| [00:30.06] |
|
| [00:31.04] |
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low |
| [00:33.04] |
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow. |
| [00:35.07] |
But the kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low: |
| [00:38.01] |
Thank God I'm a country boy. |
| [00:40.03] |
|
| [00:40.08] |
I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could, |
| [00:43.00] |
but the lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good. |
| [00:45.02] |

| [01:21.05] |

| [01:23.06] |
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools: |
| [01:26.01] |
Thank God I'm a country boy. |
