Thank God I'm a Country Boy (Live at the Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, CA - August/September 1974) - John Denver

Lyrics by：John Martin Sommers

Composed by：John Martin Sommers

Clap your hands

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 kind of life never did me no harm

Raisin' me a family and workin' on the 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 old 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 settin' low

I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow

Kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low

And 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

Well I got me a fine wife I got me old 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 woo-hoo

Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels

I never was one of them money hungry fool

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 think that's-a mighty keen

Son let me tell you now exactly what I mean

I thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife I got me old 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 yes sir

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

And 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 and play a tune on the fiddle

Taught me how to love and how to give just a little

And thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife I got me old fiddle

When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle

Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle

Wooh thank God I'm a country boy yea

John Sommers played the fiddle and he wrote that song
