Country boy, ain't got no shoes 
Country boy, ain't got no blues 
Well, you work all day while you're waitin' to play 
in the sun and the sand, with a face that's tan 
But at the end of the day, when your work is done 
you ain't got nothin' but fun

Country boy, you got a shaggy dog 
Country boy, up a hollow log 
Well, he comes in a run, when you pick up your gun 
and with a shell or two, and your dog and you 
When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide 
he's gonna be good fried

Country boy, you got alot to lose 
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes

Country boy, ain't got no ills 
Country boy, don't owe no bills 
You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm 
While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook 
If everything's gonna turn out right, 
you're gonna fry fish tonight

Country boy, got alot to lose 
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes

Country boy, you got work to do 
Country boy, in the morning dew 
You gotta plant the seed, 
you gotta cut the weeds 
There's many a row you know you gotta hoe 
When it's quittin' time, and your work is through 
There's alot of life in you

Country boy, you lucky thing 
Country boy, I wish I was you, 
and you were me
