1
The preacher man says it's the end of time
2
And the Mississippi River she's a goin' dry
3
The interest is up and the Stock Markets down
4
And you only get mugged
5
If you go down town
6
I live back in the woods, you see
7
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
8
I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive
9
And a country boy can survive
10
Country folks can survive
11
I can plow a field all day long
12
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
13
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
14
Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do
15
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
16
And a country boy can survive
17
Country folks can survive
18
Because you can't starve us out
19
And you cant makes us run
20
Cause one-of-'em old boys raisin ole shotgun
21
And we say grace and we say Ma'am
22
And if you ain't into that we don't give a damn
23
We came from the West Virginia coalmines
24
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
25
And we can skin a buck; we can run a crop line
26
And a country boy can survive
27
Country folks can survive
28
I had a good friend in New York City
29
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
30
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
31
And his taught him to be a businessman
32
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
33
And I'd send him some homemade wine
34
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
35
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
36
Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
37
And shoot him with my old 45
38
Cause a country boy can survive
39
Country folks can survive
40
Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
41
Cause one-of-'em old boys raisin ole shotgun
42
And we say grace and we say Ma'am
43
And if you ain't into that we don't give a damn
44
We're from North California and south Alabam
45
And little towns all around this land
46
And we can skin a buck; we can run a crop line
47
And a country boy can survive
48
Country folks can survive
