Hank Williams jr - A Country Boy Can Survive with lyrics

The preacher man says its the end of time
And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
The interest is up and the Stock Markets down
And you only get mugged
If you go down town

I live back in the woods, you see
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Aint too many things these ole boys cant do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Because you cant starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cause one-of- em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Maam
And if you aint into that we dont give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coalmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And Id send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my old 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Cause you cant starve us out and you cant make us run
Cause one-of- em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Maam
And if you aint into that we dont give a damn

Were from North California and south Alabam
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

us country people need to take things over again and people would be amazed about how nice and simple the world can be when you live off your land and learn what the important basics in life. People need to just slow down and enjoy

@backwoodsgirl18 then why do you have a computer

[burgrman]

The country boy... the people who built this country until the highfalutin, ladder climbing types came and weakened the mold. Now you got kids with their head stuck in some gadget or another day and night and being raised to cower in the shadows of adversity.
