"Country Boy" lyrics

Country Boy

Country boy ain't got no shoes
Country boy ain't got no blues
Well, you work all day
While you want to play
In the sun and the sand
With a face that's tan
But at the end of the day
When your work is done
You ain't got nothing but fun

Country boy ain't got no ills
Country boy don't owe no bills
You get a wiggly worm
And then you watch him squirm
While you put him on a hook
And you drop him in a brook
If everything's
Gonna turn out right
You're gonna fry fish tonight

Country boy you're lucky and free
Country boy I wish I was you
And you was me

Country boy you got work to do
Country boy in the morning dew
You gotta cut the weeds
You gotta plant the seed
There's many a row
You know you gotta hoe
When it's quitting time
And your work is through
There's a lot of life in you

Country boy you got a shaggy dog
Country boy up a hollow log
Well, he comes in a run
When you pick up your gun
And with a shell or two
And your dog and you
When you get your rabbit
You'll skin his hide
He's gonna be good fried

Country boy you got a lot to lose
Country boy how I wish I was in your shoes
