Country boy, ain't got no shoes,
country boy, ain't got no blues.
Well, you work all day while you're wantin' to play
in the sun and the sand, with a face that's tanned,
you ain't got nothin' but fun.
Country boy, ain't got no ills,
country boy, you 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.
you're gonna fry fish tonight.
Country boy, got a lot to lose
country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes.
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,
he's gonna be good fried.
Country boy, you got a lot 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.
there's a lot of life in you.
Country boy, you lucky thing,
country boy, I wish I was you, and you was me.
