Country Boy Can Survive

[2MidnightRiders]

The preacher man says it’s the end of time
And the Mississippi River she’s a goin’ dry

[2MidnightRiders]

The interest is up and the Stock Markets down
And you only get mugged
If you go down town

[2MidnightRiders]

I live back in the woods, you see
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me

[2MidnightRiders]

I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

[2MidnightRiders]

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn

[2MidnightRiders]

We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do

[2MidnightRiders]

We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

[2MidnightRiders]

Because you can’t starve us out
And you cant makes us run

[2MidnightRiders]

Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

[2MidnightRiders]

We came from the West Virginia coalmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies

[2MidnightRiders]

And we can skin a buck we can run a crop line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

[2MidnightRiders]

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly

[2MidnightRiders]

My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman

[2MidnightRiders]

He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I’d send him some homemade wine

[2MidnightRiders]

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life

[2MidnightRiders]

Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my old 45

[2MidnightRiders]

Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

[2MidnightRiders]

Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run
Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun

[2MidnightRiders]

And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

[2MidnightRiders]

We’re from North California and south Alabam
And little towns all around this land

[2MidnightRiders]

And we can skin a buck we can run a crop line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
