[A] Well I seen the [C#m] farm kind of red back
And much a little country [Am] boy
But he can't eat hash
Her little eyes, her little sight
Thank [F#m] God I'm a country boy
Well a simple kind of life
Ain't gonna save me no harm
Raised with me a family
[C#m] Working on the farm
Days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a [E] country boy
Well I got me a [A] farm
I forgot me old [E] riddles
First one was [A] like a cake Sounded brittle
I said that's the first
Funny little riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

And [D] I'm fed [A] now
Pull out [G] [D] the mustard [A] bowl
Kids are all a-beating
[E] So we'll keep [D] the pans low
[A] Thank God I'm a country boy
I play a salad good all [D] day
In the [A] kool-aid much more
