1 Well life's on a farm is kinda laid back
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
3 I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
Well my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died

A G E7
1 ain't much an old country boy like me can hack
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
3 I never was one of them money hungry fools
and he took me by the hand and held me close to his side

A D
1 It's early to rise early in the sack
But the kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
3 I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
He said Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride

1 Thank God I'm a country boy
Thank God I'm a country boy
3 Thank God I'm a country boy
and thank God you're a country boy

A D
1 A simple kind of life never did me no harm
I'd play Sally Goodin' all day if I could
3 Yeah city folk drivin in a black limou sine
My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle

A G E7
1 raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
but the lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
3 a lotta sad people thinkin' that's mighty keen
he taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle

A D
1 My days are all filled with an easy country charm
So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should
3 Well folks let me tell you now exactly what I mean
He taught me how to love and how to give just a little

A E7 A
1 Thank God I'm a country boy
Thank God I'm a country boy
3 I thank God I'm a country boy
Thank God you're a country boy

A E7
Chorus Well I got me a fine wife I got me old fiddle
A E7
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
A D
and life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
A E7 A
Thank God I'm a country boy
