A Country Boy Can Lyrics

song lyrics A Country Boy Can Survive lyrics Computer man says it s the end of time December 31st nineteen ninety-nine People buyin up Army surplus things Afraid of what the New Year will bring I live back in the woods you see Y2K don t mean a thing to me I ve got a shotgun, a rifle And a four wheel drive 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 Make our own whiskey And our own smoke too Ain t too many things these ol boys can t do [including Bocephus] We grow good ol tomatoes And homemade wine A country boy can survive Country folks can survive Cause you can t starve us out And you can t make us run We ll survive in the millenium We say grace And we say ma am If you ain t into that we don t give a damn We came from the West Virginia coal mines And the rocky mountains and the western skies If the bank machines crash We ll be just fine Cause a country boy can survive Country folks can survive I had a good friend in New York City He never called me Bocephus Called me hillbilly [really] But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife For forty-three dollars my friend lost his life Now this dude s gonna get out in a year or two Cause the system don t work for me and you But a country boy can survive Country folks can survive Cause you can t starve us out And you can t make us run We ll survive in the millenium We say grace And we say ma am If you ain t into that we don t give a damn We re from North California And south Alabam And little towns all around this land If the bank machine s crash We ll be just fine And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive Country boy can survive Country folks can survive [Any year, anytime] song lyrics
