WELL LIFE ON THE FARM IS KINDA LAID BACK
AIN'T MUCH AN OL' COUNTRY BOY LIKE ME CAN'T HACK
IT'S EARLY TO RISE, EARLY IN THE SACK
THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY!
WELL A SIMPLE KINDA LIFE NEVER DID ME NO HARM
A RAISIN' ME A FAMILY AND WORKIN' ON THE FARM
MY DAYS ARE FILLED WITH AN EASY COUNTRY CHARM
THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY
* Chorus
WELL I GOT ME A FINE WIFE, I GOT ME OLD FIDDLE
WHEN THE SUN'S COMIN' UP I'VE GOT CAKES ON THE GRIDDLE
LIFE AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A FUNNY FUNNY RIDDLE
THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY
WHEN THE WORKS 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 KINDS LOW
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, WORK WHEN I SHOULD
THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY!
* Repeat Chorus
WELL I WOULDN'T TRADE MY LIFE FOR DIAMONDS OR JEWELS
I NEVER WAS ONE OF THEM MONEY HUNGRY FOOLS
I'D RATHER HAVE MY FIDDLE AND MY FARMIN' TOOLS
THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY
YEH! CITY FOLK DRIVIN' IN A BLACK LIMOUSINE
A LOTTA SAD PEOPLE THINKIN' THAT'S MIGHTY KEEN
SON LET ME TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN
I THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY
* Repeat Chorus
WELL MY FIDDLE WAS MY DADDY'S 'TILL THE DAY HE DIED
AND HE TOOK ME BY THE HAND AND HELD ME CLOSE TO HIS SIDE
SAID 'LIVE A GOOD LIFE AND PLAY MY FIDDLE WITH PRIDE'
AND THANK GOD YOUR A COUNTRY BOY
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
* Repeat Chorus
