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 
Thank God I'm A Country Boy 

Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm 
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 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 
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, 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 

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 
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 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 

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's til the day he died 
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side 
He said...'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride 
And thank God you're a country boy" 

My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle 
He 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 

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 nothing but a funny, funny riddle 
Whoo! Thank God I'm a country boy, yeah 

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 nothing but a funny, funny riddle 
Thank God I'm a country boy!
