[00:00.000] Thank god I'm a country boy ---by John Denver
[00:02.830] Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back
[00:04.970] Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
[00:07.360] It's early to rise, early in the sack
[00:09.840] Thank God, I'm A Country Boy
[00:12.050] Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
[00:14.630] A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
[00:17.070] My days are all filled with an easy country charm
[00:19.610] Thank God I'm a country boy
[00:22.930] Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
[00:24.380] When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
[00:27.020] Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
[00:29.520] Thank God I'm A country boy
[00:32.890] When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
[00:34.520] I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
[00:37.000] The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
[00:39.650] Thank God I'm a country boy
[00:41.970] I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could
[00:44.460] But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
[00:46.860] So I fiddle when I can, work when I should
[00:49.640] Thank God, I'm a country boy
[00:52.060] Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
[00:54.270] When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
[00:57.140] Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
[00:59.840] Thank God I'm A country boy
[01:22.500] Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
[01:24.850] I never was one of them money hungry fools
[01:27.260] I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
[01:29.950] Thank God I'm a country boy
[01:32.320] Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine
[01:34.870] A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen
[01:37.390] Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
[01:39.980] I thank God I'm a country boy
[01:42.420] Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
[01:44.820] When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
[01:47.540] Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
[01:50.170] Thank God I'm a country boy
[02:12.750] Well, my fiddle was my daddy's til the day he died
[02:15.140] And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
[02:17.710] He said...'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
[02:20.400] And thank God you're a country boy"
[02:22.930] My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
[02:25.390] He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
[02:27.810] Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
[02:33.250] Thank God I'm a country boy
