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

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 a got fine me 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 and I out rosin' the up fiddle 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 goodvery

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

Yea, city folk drivin' in a black limousine

A lotta sad people thinkin' mighty that's keena

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 the me hand, by 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

how to Taught work, me to play a tune on the fiddle

He taught love me an' how how to 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 riddlefunny

Ooo, thank God I'm a country boy, yes
