1
The preacher man says it's the end of time
2
And the Mississippi River, she's a going dry
3
The interest is up and the stock markets down
4
And you only get mugged if you go downtown
5
I live back in the woods, you see
6
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
7
I got a shotgun and a rifle and a four wheel drive
8
And a countryboy can survive, country folks can survive
9
I can plow a field all day long, I can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn
10
Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
11
Ain't too many things these boys can't do
12
We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine
13
And countryboy can survive, country folk can survive
14
Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
15
'Cause we're them ol' boys raised on shotguns
16
We say grace and we say ma'am
17
And if you ain't into that, we don't give a damn
18
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
19
And the Rocky Mountains and the Western skies
20
And we can skin a buck, we can run a trot line
21
And a countryboy can survive, country folks can survive
22
I had a good friend in New York City
23
He never called me by my name just hillbilly
24
My Grandpa taught me how to live off the land
25
And his taught him to be a business man
26
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Nights
27
And I would send him some homemade wine
28
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
29
For forty three dollars, my friend lost his life
30
I'd love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
31
And shoot him with my ol' forty-five
32
'Cause a countryboy can survive
33
Country folks can survive
34
'Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
35
And we're them ol' boys raised on shotgun
36
We say grace, we say ma'am
37
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn
38
We're from North California and South Alabama
39
And little towns all around this land
40
We can skin a buck and run a trot line
41
And a countryboy can survive, country folks can survive
42
Countryboy can survive, country folks can survive
