[00:00.85]Lyrics by：John Denver
[00:00.98]Composed by：John Denver
[00:02.58]Well life's on a farm is kinda laid back
[00:04.64]Ain't much an old country boy
[00:05.79]Like me can't hack
[00:07.08]It's early to rise
[00:08.23]Early in the sack thank God
[00:10.29]I'm a country boy
[00:11.91]Well a simple kind of life
[00:13.12]Never did me no harm
[00:14.50]Raising me a family and working on the farm
[00:16.67]My days are all filled with
[00:17.77]An easy country charm
[00:19.30]Thank God I'm a country boy
[00:21.49]Well I got me a fine wife
[00:22.73]I got me old fiddle
[00:23.78]When the sun's coming up
[00:24.77]I got cakes on the griddle
[00:26.14]And life ain't nothing but
[00:27.30]A funny funny riddle
[00:28.79]Thank God I'm a country boy
[00:30.99]When the work's all done
[00:32.09]And the sun's setting low
[00:33.39]I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
[00:35.64]The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
[00:38.30]Thank God I'm a country boy
[00:40.53]I'd play Sally Gooding all day if I could
[00:42.80]But the Lord and my wife
[00:43.88]Wouldn't take it very good
[00:45.19]I fiddle when I can
[00:46.09]And I work when I should
[00:47.79]Thank God I'm a country boy
[00:50.07]Well I got me a fine wife
[00:51.29]I got me old fiddle
[00:52.27]When the sun's coming up
[00:53.31]I got cakes on the griddle
[00:54.74]And life ain't nothing but
[00:55.68]A funny funny riddle
[00:57.34]Thank God I'm a country boy
[01:18.78]Well I wouldn't trade my life
[01:19.81]For diamonds or jewels
[01:21.10]I never was one of them money hungry fools
[01:23.42]Rather have my fiddle and my farming tools
[01:25.94]Thank God I'm a country boy
[01:28.23]Yeah city folk driving in a black limousine
[01:30.55]A lotta sad people thinking
[01:31.74]That's-a mighty keen
[01:32.94]Son let me tell you
[01:33.91]Now exactly what I mean
[01:35.45]Thank God I'm a country boy
[01:37.74]Well I got me a fine wife
[01:39.04]I got me old fiddle
[01:39.93]When the sun's coming up
[01:41.00]I got cakes on the griddle
[01:42.42]And life ain't nothing
[01:43.32]But a funny funny riddle
[01:45.04]Thank God I'm a country boy
[01:46.80]Yes sir
[02:06.47]Well my fiddle was my daddy's
[02:07.43]Till the day he died
[02:08.71]And he took me by the hand
[02:09.69]And held me close to his side
[02:10.69]He said live a good life
[02:11.87]And play my fiddle with pride
[02:13.45]And thank God you're a country boy
[02:15.88]Well my daddy taught me young
[02:16.85]How to hunt and how to whittle
[02:18.34]He taught me how to work
[02:19.26]And play a tune on the fiddle
[02:20.48]He taught me how to love
[02:21.39]And how to give just a little
[02:23.89]Thank God I'm a country boy
[02:26.09]Well I got me a fine wife
[02:27.14]I got me old fiddle
[02:28.22]When the sun's coming up
[02:29.11]I got cakes on the griddle
[02:30.55]And life ain't nothing
[02:31.48]But a funny funny riddle
[02:35.69]Thank God I'm a country boy
