Thank God I'm a Country Boy

Thank God I'm a Country Boy - John Denver (約翰·丹佛)

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back

Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack

It's early to rise early in the sack

I 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 a farm

My 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 ol' fiddle

When the sun's comin' up

I got cakes on the griddle

And 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 the fiddle and I rosin' up the bow

The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda 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 an'

I work when I should

Thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' 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 ooo

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

Yeah city folk drivin' in a black limousine

A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen

Well son let me tell ya now exactly what I mean

I thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' 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

Well my fiddle was my daddy's

Till the day he died

And he took me by the hand

Held me close to his side

Said Live a good life

Play my fiddle with pride

An' 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

To play a tune on the fiddle

He taught me how to love an'

How to give just a little

An' thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife

I got me ol' fiddle

When the sun's comin' up

I got cakes on the griddle

Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle

Ooo thank God I'm a country boy yes
