Thank God, I’m a country boy
When the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle
Thank God, I’m a country boy
But the Lord and my wife wouldn’t take it very good
Thank God, I’m a country boy
Soon, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
When the sun’s comin’ up, I got cakes on the griddle
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
Thank God, I’m a country boy
When the work’s all done and the sun’s settlin’ low
Life ain’t nothin’ but a funny funny riddle
When the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle
Well, I wouldn’t trade my life for diamonds or jewels
Thank God, I’m a country boy
I thank God, I’m a country boy
Yeah, city folk drivin’ in a black limousine
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
Life ain’t nothin’ but a funny funny riddle
Well, I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
And thank God, I’m a country boy
I never was one of them money hungry fools
Life ain’t nothin’ but a funny funny riddle
Rather have my fiddle and my farmin’ tools
Well, a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A lotta sad people thinkin’ that’s mighty keen
Thank God, I’m a country boy
Said, live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
Well, my fiddle was my daddy’s till the day he died
And thank God, you’re a country boy
So I fiddle when I can, work when I should
Life ain’t nothin’ but a funny funny riddle
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
A raisin’ me a family and workin’ on a farm
Kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Look my daddy taught me young how to hunt, how to whittle
Well, I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
Well, I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
When the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle
I’d play 'Sally Goodin’' all day if I could
Thank God, I’m a country boy
It’s early to rise, early in the sack
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me a fiddle
Taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
Thank God, I’m a country boy
