Up a hollow log
How I wish I was in your shoes
When it's quittin' time, and your work is through
You ain't got nothin' but fun
And with a shell or two and your dog and you
Country boy
You gotta plant the seed, you gotta cut the weeds
Country boy
Country boy
Country boy

Well he comes in a run, when you pick up your gun
Country boy
Country boy

You got a shaggy dog
Country boy
There's many a row you know you gotta hoe
You got work to do

In the sun and the sand, with a face that's tan

Ain't got no wills
Country boy

You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm

At the end of the day, when your work is done
When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide
You got a lot to lose
While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook
You don't owe no bills

There's a lot of life in you
If everything's gonna turn out right
Country boy
Well you work all day while you're waitin' to play
Country boy
Country boy
You got a lot to lose
How I wish I was in your shoes
You're gonna fry fish tonight
Country boy
He's gonna be good fried
In the morning dew

You're lucky free
Ain't got no blues
Country boy
I wish I was you and you was me
