A way of life from the farmer's mind, laid back, ain't much an old country boy like me can't get. Early to rise, early in the sack, boy, thank God I'm a country boy.
Well, simple kind of life never did me no harm. Raised me a family working on the farm. Days are filled with East Country charm. Thank God I'm a country boy.
Well, got me a farm life, I got an old fiddle.
When the sun's coming up, I got can't stop on the fiddle.
By night, we got the money, money, money, ready to roll. Thank God I'm a country boy. When the work's all done and the sun is sinking low, I pull out my fiddle and I rouse it on my bow. The kids are all asleep, so I keep it kind of low. Well, thank God I'm a country boy.
Well, they said it couldn't no day if I could But the Lord and my wife would take it very good. So fiddle when I can, work when I should. Well, thank God I'm a country boy.
Well, I got me a fly wife, I got no fiddle.
When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle.
Ain't nothing about a funny, funny fiddle. Well, thank God I'm a country boy.

Well, when I was a little bitty girl, the stuff of the fort. Well, we used to go out to Grandma's house every Monday to go and fetch the big bunch.
First we had a whole wheat bunch of bread.
'Cause the man north of us, Grandpa's house was great big. With a fence, with a big horse, 6 feet wide. Puppies down his chute.
He was big with a fence of oil and he used to go out on top of me.
In the weekends, 4 hound dogs and a few big dogs. Yeah!
We're having fun!
On Grandma's living room!
Growing up in this great country, life is mostly having fun. I have to tell you, if you ask me, there's nowhere else beneath the sun. Yes, and red is just the Colorado mountains.
White is just the clouds above our heads. If you add all the times that you give, take away all the times that you don't, there'll still be some love left over. And that's what gives us hope.
Everything you add, all the love in the world, when you take away all the things, don't you know there'll still be some love left over? Everything is beautiful.
Everything you have is all you need.
Take away all the time that you don't.
Don't you know there'll still be some love left over? And that's why we say.
I love you, love you, my God.
Don't forget you're my boy, God. Baby, I'll never die.
I love you 'cause you're mine. Just remember that. I like you, I really do. God, I want you to like me too. 'Cause I like you, won't you be my friend?
I like you, I really do.
I want you to like me too. I like you.
You ought to be my friend. Just remember that now is the time.
