Now, I'm just a simple guy |
|
But there's one thing sure as shootin' |
|
I hate those folks that think that they're |
|
So doggone high fa lutin |
|
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'. |
|
CHORUS I'm a plain, old country boy |
|
A corn-bread lovin' country boy |
|
I raise cain on |
|
Saturday But |
|
I go to church on |
|
Sunday I'm a plain, old country boy |
|
A tater eating 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. |
|
CHORUS 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. CHO |
