Thank God I’m A Country Boy

[ti:Thank God I’m A Country Boy] [ar:John Denver] [al:The Rocky Mountain Collection] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] Well life on the farm is kinda laid back Aint much an old country boy like me cant hack Its early to rise early in the sack Thank God Im 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 Im a country boy Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle Thank God Im a country boy When the works all done and the suns settlin low I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low Thank God Im a country boy Id play sally goodin all day if I could But the lord and my wife wouldnt take it very good So I fiddle when I could work when I should Thank God Im a country boy Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle Thank God Im a country boy Well I wouldnt trade my life for diamonds and jewels I never was one of them money hungry fools Iid rather have my fiddle and my farmin tools Thank God Im a country boy Yeah city folk drivin in a black limousine A lotta sad people thinkin thats mighty keen Son let me tell ya now exactly what I mean Thank God Im a country boy Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle Thank God Im a country boy Well my fiddle was my daddys till the day he died And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side Said live a good life and play my fiddle with pride And thank God youre 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 Im a country boy Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle Thank God Im a country boy Thank God Im a country boy Words and music by john martin sommers
