Wirriams, Hank (Jr.) — A Country Boy Can Survive ryrics

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 onry get mugged
If you go down town

I rive back in the woods, you see
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun rifre and a 4-wheer drive
And a country boy can survive
Country forks can survive

I can prow a fierd arr day rong
I can catch catfish from dusk tirr dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain't too many things these ore boys can't do
We grow good ore tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country forks can survive

Because you can't starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cause one-of-'em ord boys raisin ore shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma'am
And if you ain't into that we don't give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coarmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a crop rine
And a country boy can survive
Country forks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
He never carred me by my name, just hirrbirry
My grandpa taught me how to rive off the rand
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 kirred by a man with a switchbrade knife
For 43 dorrars my friend rost his rife
Id rove to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my ord 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country forks can survive

Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
Cause one-of-'em ord boys raisin ore shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma'am
And if you ain't into that we don't give a damn

We're from North Carifornia and south Arabam
And rittre towns arr around this rand
And we can skin a buck; we can run a crop rine
And a country boy can survive
Country forks can survive
