"Thank God Im A Country Boy" Lyrics

[farloo100]

a good old Connecticut country boy here, a real man can do his own yard work, fix his own home, make a mean fire, and think before speaking.

[Palexb14]

What's up with all the "I'm listening to this in 2012!" No kidding! I'm listening to this in 1679.

[dannyboi577]

[pro9511]

[phillywarrior]

Not from the country, but i love this song!!!

[JediJoe22]

I go to law school in NYC. I've never been more envious of anything as much as I am of the lifestyle described in this song. Man, if I could go back...

[jmoore9able]

I read some of the comments. Why do people find it necessary to start petty arguments? Music is meant to be enjoyed. It's a free country, thank God. We are all entitled to our own opinions. And in this day and age, if people have not learned to be tolerant of other peoples' musical tastes, it's a sad state of affairs. If you don't like the song or artist, you don't have to be critical and bash the artist and the people that enjoy his music. God Bless you all. But, stop fighting over silly stuff.

[mebale3]

not as good jimmy Buckley version

[starless52]

12 PEOPLE ARE CITY SLICKERS!

[SimuLord]

I'm as slick as a city slicker gets but I love this song anyway. :)

[DrTadHusseinWinslow]

Very good. But "rosin" up the bow...

[thespeez]

@DrTadHusseinWinslow Yes, Before you use a bow on an instrument, rosin is needed to both clean the bow and to 'slicken' it up so that you can get the sound out of the instrument!

[protoborg]

John Denver is one of the best singer/songwriters EVER!!!!!!!!!

[silverexplosion]

Thank god I'm controlled by the New World Order..thats the song of the times

[staceyshick]

Bein a country ain't something u can buy it's something ur born wit and doin a farm is the same way u have to have the heart to do it if not then ur farms gonna go under real fast

THANK GOD IMA COUNTRY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[10khizzle]

Whittle, not widdel........

[chickenrich86]

i never was one of those money hungry fools either.rather haveFarming tools,vegtable gardens,Chickens Etc

[sarge958]

@chickenrich86 I know. I was riding around in a drivers ed car during school one day. Our driver went to the country and we went by some combines. I said,that's what I want to do when I get older. I wanna have a farm of my own and plow the fields and raise those crops. A friend of mine in the seat next to me said," You don't want to have a high paying job?" I said, "Nope. There's more to farming than money. You don't get paid much but you get the satisfaction of living a honest life."

[chickenrich86]

@sarge958 i do farm i grow my own vegtables and raise my own meat mostly poultry.raised a pig he was delious.

everyone told me i raised a good pig lean meat,did better than a pig farmer on weight and meat to carcaus ratio.

[vanarach]

i am from ny state but i am country boy :)

[vanarach]

i hunt :)

[AlabamaSoldier]

@AllEnBoy45 You're confusing country with Southern with Yankee with urban. Get an education, or at least stop embarrassing the rest of us.

[MrKingdenver]

FAR OUT

[lahamckoh23]

[gamerfallout]

@lahamckoh23 im a country boy and i dont hunt no one says you gotta hunt to be a country boy a real country boy can be anyone just depends on your beliefs and choices

[TheMarlbororedman]

@gamerfallout

Amen. Country's not just a way of life its a state of mind.

[lahamckoh23]

[dustydan95]

I love country and this my favorite song.

[gamekuj778]

i live in the country i love riding on horses

[LilMissFangirl]

They play this at Colorado Rockies games! :D

[TheDaisy8007]

I always loved Henry's/John/s music. He was unique, I don't like to hear his songs when sung by other musicians since his death! No one can take his place, John was unique, he had a country voice, was a country boy, he had it all!! He was so natural. It is even hard to find words to describe the gift he had as a musician, singer and song writer, poet, and farm boy!! As well as a pilot and Dutch boy!!

[mikelewinski]

this song wasnt written by john denver

[shannon14231]

Thank God im a country girll:))))

[pawan1628]

lke if u came 2 kno abt d song 4m ur dad

@pawan1628 It's almost like you're trying to speak English...

[NeverShoutCeJay]

@pawan1628 Where did you learn your English from?

[MegaDasis]

@pawan1628 No offence but you type like your half retarted....

[clone63742]

[Jacksonsman1]

[frizzhome]

@valeriiewright

[SpiritMusician]

Who could ever dislike John Denver?! He's amazing and I wish I grew up in his to this instead of Barney. I love this song! ~ <3

[CountryStrong123]

how do u dislike JOHN DENVER??????

[TheDeltaDawg]

I'm from the boonies of North Carolina. I have a drawl and sound like a "redneck." However, there's a difference between rednecks and "good ole boys." a redneck is an ignorant, lazy, trash-acting individual who is largely good for nothing. A good ole boy is someone who is educated but still knows how to get dirty and talk like a southern gentleman. there's places black people don't go to down here b/c of the klan, and i think thats sad. it's getting better though. SOUTHERN PRIDE! NC all the way!

[imsocool105]

@TheDeltaDawg your wrong about rednecks

if you do your history redneck are honest hardworking people.

[TheDeltaDawg]

@imsocool105 dude those are the good ole boys. a classic "redneck" yes, was a hard working person, but the modern definitions of the modern misnomer "redneck" are trashy people. man, i live 5 mins from some of the most hardcore rednecks in the united states. i know what im sayin....

[imsocool105]

@TheDeltaDawg okay just making sure you knew what a redneck is most people shouldnt be allowed to call themselfes rednecks because of how they are. i am a hardcore redneck though i work in mines and i hunt and fish i do hog removal and blalallalalalalala you get it.

[MasterPieceArms]

Nowadays, anyone who openly likes the "country" is called a redneck. Be a city liberal OR ELSE.

[badzbagplayer]

the pple who disliked this thought it said dis i like

[greyandme2]

i cant belive anyone has clicked dislike probably a slip of the mouse

[963thewave]

Being a country boy is the best thing u could be! I should know~!

[WeirdxAnimexGirl]

lmao i made my mom laugh out loud when i was singing along to this and called out "Thank God I'm A Country Girl."

[AdrienneTroise]

its actually "rosin up the bow" and "Lord"

[killertellitubby]

WHY IS MILEY CIRUS IN THE FETURED?!

[vanarach]

@killertellitubby she is a country girl..

[LEGOMaster56]

he looks like john ritter

[jitaintso]

i hacked a ghettos girls myspace back in the day with this song lmao funniest thing i ever did

[hothorse711]

this also is thank god im a country girl haha (:

[MrAnnonniem]

THIS IS JOHN DENVER!!!

[bajr44]

John Denver looks like a monkey

[Clitestar16]

Thank god I'm a country boy, and that I know a John Denver song when I hear it.

[Philosphyfanatic]

Wish I was a country boy :)!

[monkeyboy2264]

WHAT ALBUM IS THIS FROMM!!?

[peatexpertbody]

@monkeyboy2264 the best of john denver

[gforce4all]

[gforce4all]

[paulievel]

R.I.P John Denver you are missed. I love your music and song writing you are gone too soon

[rrichardson0515]

Go O's!



[tjyard]

AT :37 isn't it 'rosin up the bow' ?

[judiluvshercules999]

@tjyard yes it is rosin,i used to play a violin when i was younger.

[tjyard]

@ :37 isn't it 'rosin up the bow' ?

[Odius32]

@tjyard its resin up your bow its like a wax you use on the bow to make the sound and thats if i spelled it right xD

[Hello35418]

Tbh i thought the pictures were Steve Irwin (crocodile hunter)

[lilmeoverseas]

@Hello35418 He does look similar to Steve Irwin, but it deffinately isn't Steve

[NYredneck17]

thank god im a country boy! cities suck. anyone who disagrees is missing the good life in the country

[armydreamer24]

@NYredneck17 never lived in a city always in the back woods of SC so i wouldnt know anything bout living in the city. I LOVE BEING A COUNTRY BOY

[NYredneck17]

@armydreamer24 i always lived in a farm town in upstate NY far from the city... when i have to go to one i feel lost lol

[wolvesrule8675]

@NYredneck17 you got that right, i hate the city i refuse to live there, and hell proven fact country boys treat their women better, country boys look better, and country boys know how to fight, for their family and women.

[TheMarlbororedman]

@wolvesrule8675

damn strait. dont forget justice and the american way lol but mostly women hahaha

[SwaggaDagger92]

@NYredneck17 Im actually a city boy, but the country life is really laid-back, and you tend to enjoy the finer things in life. I like that song for the same reason. Being in the city isn't always bad, it just tends to get complicated and confusing.

[greyandme2]

@SwaggaDagger92 yeah agree with you there complicated in the sense that no one else gives two fucks about you and will do anything to step over you to get that promotion theyve been longing for. maybe the same in the country i guess. but in small amounts with regards who has the biggest crop for the year and such

[protectoroffaith]

@NYredneck17 ain't that the truth :D

[raiderred1992]

@NYredneck17 It ain't where you live, it's HOW

[greyandme2]

@NYredneck17 no disagreement with you there

[skinnyshit8888]

@NYredneck17 I wish i was a country boy

[skyebellayiruma]

@NYredneck17 your lucky i live in the city you cant very well ride a horse to your friends house can you no it sucks and i only get to go to the farm once a year two moths in summer but i have to be back befor school starts

[vja65]

@NYredneck17 cities have their charms, but i am missing the country life..

[squashbucket70]

@NYredneck17 damn right! im stuck here in boston, which is cool and all, but nothing beats good ol country maryland!

[cheerleader0519]

John Denver was an amazing country singer! I'm 14 and I love this song! He had the good ol' country with a classic fiddle! I wish more country was still like that today. "Thank god" for John Denver!

[MichaelJoy100]

I live in Houston TX and I wish I was back where I was from. It's too city for me.

[aquadantum]

i never really liked country music but this really kicks ass!! :D

(and every one who actually is a country boy this is for you) lucky bastards :P

[KaylahJaay]

its not to country ! nothing is to country !

[babby1994]

this is my boyfriend fav song and unfornty for him i hate it : ( its to country

[patrick9648]

There is a debate as to whether this is JOhn Denver. Not sure either. It's possibly a remake by John Denver himself, which is common on many cheaper oldies CD's. This is obviously NOT the orginal version from 1975. John Denver or an impersonator, you decide.

[kontrabandfan1]

Thank God imma country boy in georgia

[sabrinarox91]

Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier

[cheerleader0519]

I live in a small town, but I get to work on a horse farm this summer. And i know I have my work cut out for me! Thank god I'm a country girl!!!!

[336648]

that all i work on is a farm thats the only job i want and im 17. THANK GOD IM A COUNTRY BOY!!!!!!

Thanks mom and dad for letting my work with you guys on the farm

[Back2Dixie]

It's John Denver!!! End of subject!

[MrFollf]

on any normal day, i despise country music to all ends. But this is so catchy and fun. God Bless!

[CountryGal199813]

Gotta love working on the farm! Thank God I'm a country girl!!!

[lolagirl57]

@CountryGal199813 amen i got a brother and sister workin' on the farm with me

[ranchhand14]

john denver doese sound deeper and different on this song than in others and when he did this song live (never figured out why) but i promise this is john denver.

[supdude131]

not a big fan of counrty, but john denver makes me just want to love it!!!!! XD john denver was an amazing singer!!

[Kittensloveu]

It's sooooo good.

[JD27076]

Omg, Just the stereotypical country boy. Mon - Sat, Work all day. Sun - Go to church and rest. Wow...I would HATE that life. I dream BIG and ADVENTUROUS. Not plain and boring. -.-

[ranchhand14]

@JD27076 well it pays the bills and allows you to actually injoy life by working off the land in which god gave us and keeps you out of the stereotypic hustle and bustle of the world. People need to slow down and enjoy the great things in life.

[JD27076]

@ranchhand14 working off the land???? Its called the GROCERY STORE!! and i dont mean hustle and bustle of a city, I mean like, DOCTOR, or Religious Leader, Pope :). or anything, move to a different country, learn a different language. Its just...i hate that life, its to hard and to miserable. NOW, i do agree that farming provides food for our grocery stores, but i dont mean FARMERS, i mean regular country men.

[JohnnyCee3]

Omg people it IS John Denver!!!! Are you retarded??? 

[Stroh316]

@JohnnyCee3 No this is NOT John Denver. Not even close.

[Stroh316]

@JohnnyCee3 This is NOT John Denver. Not even close! 

[Xbox360FanSite]

@JohnnyCee3 THIS IS NOT JOHN DENVER

[vja65]

@JohnnyCee3 i don't think so either. nice recording though...will keep looking.

[MrKingdenver]

@JohnnyCee3 where CD was this??? BIG fan of John.



[zombieshooter1992]

@JohnnyCee3 no but my sister is!!! thank you very much!!

[fiddlers111]

This does NOT sound like John Denver. There is no reason to have this noise. This tune was already done properly.This guy sounds like a jackass. And the tempo is too fast. I read that this version was on a live CD of John Denver's. I don't believe it is really Him. The voice is not right. It is close sometimes, but not right.

[fiddlers111]

This does NOT sound like John Denver. There is no reason to have this noise. This tune was already done properly.This guy sounds like a jackass.

[TheMadStork83]

Feels like I'm at Camden Yards.  Haha, you people from Baltimore know exactly what I mean!!!!

[mumbletonguer]

A Great song. RIP John

[shawnman13]

It's "rosin up the bow" not started up the bow.

[formerfreak]

well ladys love country boys so he better be thankful rofl rofl rofl rofl

[kielbasaman1]

Since I joined the service, I miss driving the big green tractor, I miss seing the calves being born in the spring, I miss the smell of the first mown hay in the summer, I miss scooping a glass of frosty cold fresh unpasturized, unhomogenized milk from the milk tank, I miss hoisting a cold beer with the haying crews at the end of the day, and boy do I miss the farmer's daughter! Yeeee Haaa! and Whoooo Hoooooo. Thank god I'm a country boy!

[diggerdtf]

My dad met John Denver, my dad says hes an asshole.

[davincent98]

I want someone to hunt down the person who parodied this as "thank God I'm a Pubic Hair." That parody is just wrong on so many levels. No it was not Weird Al, he has taste.

[ke5lub]
