Intro : EB7EAE
Country boy, ain't got no shoes,
AE
country boy, ain't got no blues.
E
Well, you work all day while you're wantin' to play
in the sun and the sand, with a face that's tanned,
at the end of the day, when your work is done,
B7E
you ain't got nothin' but fun.
AE
Country boy, ain't got no ills,
AE
country boy, you don't owe no bills.
E
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,
B7E
you're gonna fry fish tonight.
AE
Country boy, got a lot to lose
AB7E
country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes.
( AEAEEB7E )
AE
Country boy, you got a shaggy dog,
AE
country boy, up a hollow log.
E
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,
B7E
he's gonna be good fried.
AE
Country boy, you got a lot to lose,
AB7E
country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes.
( AEAEEB7E )
AE
Country boy, you got work to do,
AE
country boy, in the morning dew.
E
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,
B7E
there's a lot of life in you.
AE
Country boy, you lucky thing,
AB7E
country boy, I wish I was you, and you was me.
