well life on the farm is kinda laid back
ainĄŻt much an old country boy like me canĄŻt hack
itĄŻs early to rise, early in the sack
thank god iĄŻm a country boy

well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
a raisinĄŻ me a family and workinĄŻ on a farm
my days are all filled with an easy country charm
thank god iĄŻm a country boy

well i got me a fine wife i got me a fiddle
when the sunĄŻs cominĄŻ up i got cakes on the griddle
life ainĄŻt nothinĄŻ but a funy funny riddle
thank god iĄŻm a country boy

when the workĄŻs all done and the sunĄŻs settlinĄŻ low
i pull out my fiddle and i rosin up the bow
the kids are asleep so i keep it kinda low
thank god iĄŻm a country boy

iĄŻd play Ą°sally goodinĄŻĄ± all day if i could
but the lord and my wife wouldnĄŻt take it very good
so i fiddle when i could, work when i should
thank god iĄŻm a country boy

well i got me a fine wife i got me a fiddle
when the sunĄŻs cominĄŻ up i got cakes on the griddle
life ainĄŻt nothinĄŻ but a funy funny riddle
thank god iĄŻm a country boy

well i wouldnĄŻt trade my life for diamonds and jewels
i never was one of them money hungry fools
iid rather have my fiddle and my farminĄŻ tools
thank god iĄŻm a country boy

yeah, city folk drivinĄŻ in a black limousine
a lotta sad people thinkinĄŻ thatĄŻs mighty keen
son, let me tell ya now exactly what i mean
thank god iĄŻm a country boy

well i got me a fine wife i got me a fiddle
when the sunĄŻs cominĄŻ up i got cakes on the griddle
life ainĄŻt nothinĄŻ but a funy funny riddle
thank god iĄŻm a country boy

well, my fiddle was my daddyĄŻs till the day he died
and he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
said, Ą°live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
and thank god youĄŻre 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 iĄŻm a country boy

well i got me a fine wife i got me a fiddle
when the sunĄŻs cominĄŻ up i got cakes on the griddle
life ainĄŻt nothinĄŻ but a funy funny riddle
thank god iĄŻm a country boy
thank god iĄŻm a country boy
