The preacher man says it's the end of time
And the Mississippi River she's 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 Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Because you can't 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 Ma'am
And if you ain't into that we don't give a darn

We came from the West Virginia coal mines
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 I'd 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 can't starve us out and you can't make us run Cause one-of-'em old boys raisin ole shotgun And we say grace and we say Ma'am And if you ain't into that we don't give a darn

We're 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

  • Great job man! I picked that up quick. Do you think you could do a video for either "County Fair" or "Little Long Haired Outlaw"? They're both Chris LeDoux songs.

  • @bigdogBAMA Sure, stay tuned for one of them.

  • awesome job, sounds great. def made it easier to pick up on. if youre taking requests, i really wanna learn much too young by garth. thanks man

  • @bigdogBAMA i play county fair like such. the intro: A (d,d,u) D (d,d) E (d,u,d,u) A (d,d) then it repeats and i think there is only one down on the last A, then starts strumming for the song. DISCLAIMER, im new and suck at guitar but this sounds good for the intro. If its wrong id love to hear how to fix it.

  • @TheUndermensch dont be a dick you shouldnt even learn this...a real counrty boy knows that havin a little is just enough and dont complain
