To a friend from Texas we played John Denver's "Thank God I’m A Country Boy", and it was very sweet! Here's a piece of it:
Well life on the farm is kinda laid back Ain’t much an old country boy like me can’t hack It’s early to rise, early in the sack Thank God I’m 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 I’m a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ole fiddle When the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle Life ain’t nothin’ but a funny funny riddle Thank God I’m a country boy
When the work’s all done and the sun’s 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 I’m a country boy
I’d play “Sally Goodin’” all day if I could But the Lord and my wife wouldn’t take it very good So I fiddle when I can, work when I should Thank God I’m a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ole fiddle When the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle Life ain’t nothin’ but a funy funny riddle Thank God I’m a country boy
Well I wouldn’t trade my life for diamonds and jewels I never was one of them money hungry fools I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin’ tools Thank God I’m a country boy
Yeah, city folk drivin’ in a black limousine A lotta sad people thinkin’ that’s mighty keen Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean Thank God I’m a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ole fiddle When the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle Life ain’t nothin’ but a funny funny riddle Thank God I’m a country boy
