country boy
Now, Im just a simple guy
But theres one thing sure as shootin
I hate those folks that think that theyre
So doggone high fa lutin
Id be the same in
Hollywood
Or right in my own kitchen
I believe in fussin when youre mad
And scratchin when youre itchin.
CHORUS Im a plain, old country boy
A corn-bread lovin country boy
I raise cain on
Saturday But
I go to church on
Sunday Im a plain, old country boy
A tater eating country boy
Ill be lookin over that old grey mule
When the sun comes up on
Monday. Where
I come from, opportunities, they never were too good
We never had much money, but we done the best we could
Ma doctored me from youngin -hood, with
Epson salts and
Iodine Made my diapers out of old feed sacks, my spenders out of plow lines.
CHORUS Every time the preacher called,
Ma always fixed a chicken
If Id reach for a drumstick,
I was sure to get a lickin
She always saved two parts for me,
But I had to shut my mouth
Twas the gizzard and the
North end of a chicken flyin
South. CHO
