country boy

country boy

ain't got no shoes. country boy

ain't got no blues. well

you work all day

while you're wantin' to play

in the sun and the sand

with a face that's tan. at the end of the day

when your work is done

you ain't got nothin' but fun. country boy

ain't got no ills. country boy

don't owe no bills. 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

got a lot to lose. country boy

how i wish i was in your shoes. country boy

you got a shaggy dog. country boy

up a holler 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. country boy

you got work to do. country boy

in the morning dew

you gotta plant the seed

you gotta cut the weeds. there's many a row

you know you gotta hoe

when it's quittin' time

and your work is through. there's a lot of life in you

country boy

you lucky thing. country boy

i wish i was you

and you were me.
