Country Boy

Now I'm just a simple guy but there's one thing sure as shootin' I hate those folks who think that they're so dad-burned highfalutin I'd be the same in Hollywood or right in my own kitchen I believe in fussin' when you're mad and scratchin' when you're itchin' I'm a plain old country boy, a cornbread lovin' country boy I raise cain on Saturday but I go to church on Sunday I'm a plain old country boy, a cornbread lovin' country boy I'll be lookin' over that old grey mule when the sun comes up on Monday Where I come from opportunities, they never were too good We never had much money, but we done the best we could Ma doctored me from youngin'-hood with Epson salts and Iodine Made my diapers out of old feed sacks, my 'spenders out of plow lines I'm a plain old country boy, a cornbread lovin' country boy I raise cain on Saturday and I go to church on Sunday I'm a plain old country boy, a tater eatin' country boy I'll be lookin' over that old grey mule when the sun comes up on Monday Every time the preacher called, ma always fixed a chicken If I'd reach for a drumstick, I was sure to get a lickin' She always saved two parts for me, but I had to shut my mouth T'was the gizzard and the north end of a chicken flyin' south I'm a plain old country boy, a cornbread lovin' country boy I raise cain on Saturday but I go to church on Sunday I'm a plain old country boy, a tater eatin' country boy I'll be lookin' over that old grey mule when the sun comes up on Monday
