[00:07.930]Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back
[00:10.070]Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
[00:12.460]It's early to rise, early in the sack
[00:14.940]Thank God, I'm A Country Boy
[00:16.570]
[00:17.150]Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
[00:19.730]A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
[00:22.170]My days are all filled with an easy country charm
[00:24.710]Thank God I'm a country boy
[00:26.320]
[00:28.030]Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
[00:29.480]When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
[00:32.120]Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
[00:34.620]Thank God I'm A country boy
[00:36.450]
[00:37.990]When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
[00:39.620]I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
[00:42.100]The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
[00:44.750]Thank God I'm a country boy
[00:46.430]
[00:47.070]I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could
[00:49.560]But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
[00:51.960]So I fiddle when I can, work when I should
[00:54.740]Thank God, I'm a country boy
[00:56.450]
[00:57.160]Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
[00:59.370]When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
[01:02.240]Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
[01:04.940]Thank God I'm A country boy
[01:06.650]
[01:27.600]Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
[01:29.950]I never was one of them money hungry fools
[01:32.360]I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
[01:35.050]Thank God I'm a country boy
[01:36.710]
[01:37.420]Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine

[01:42.490]Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
[01:45.080]I thank God I'm a country boy
[01:46.780]
[01:47.520]Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle

[02:17.850]Well, my fiddle was my daddy's til the day he died
[02:20.240]And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
[02:22.800]
[02:22.810]He said...'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
[02:25.500]And thank God you're a country boy"
[02:27.250]
[02:28.030]My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
[02:30.480]
[02:30.490]He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
[02:32.910]Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
[02:38.350]Thank God I'm a country boy
