Denver, John - Thank God I'm A Country Boy Lyrics
Well, life's on a farm is kinda laid back,
ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack.
It's early to rise, early in the sack thank God I'm a country boy.
Well, a simple kind of life never did me no harm,
raising me a family and working on the farm.
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle.
When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle.
And life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle, thank God I'm a country boy.
When the work's all done and the sun's setting low,
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low, thank God I'm a country boy.
I'd play Sally Gooding all day if I could,
but the lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good.
So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should, thank God I'm a country boy.
When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle.
And life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle, thank God I'm a country boy.
I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels,
I never was one of them money hungry fools.
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farming tools, thank God I'm a country boy.
Yeah, city folk driving in a black limousine,
a lotta sad people thinking that's-a mighty keen.
Son, let me tell you now exactly what I mean, thank God I'm a country boy.
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle.
When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle.
And life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle, thank God I'm a country boy.
Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died,
and he took me by the hand and held me close to his side.
He said, "Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride,
and thank God you're a country boy.
My Daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle,
he taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle.
He taught me how to love and how to give just a little,
thank God I'm a country boy.
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle.
When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle.
And life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle, thank God I'm a country boy.

It's a hard life pickin' stones and pullin' teats, but sure as God's got sandals it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails.
Hey let's do one of those lyric comment chains I'll start.
Well, life's on a farm is kinda laid back
I think John Denver was the original rapper
Son in law brought me here (the movie not family member)
me, a city girl at 1am:
An old friend of mine loves this song & I still love him!!!
You can hear he's happy while he's singing
When some hippy with funky hair makes better country than some twats with funny hats. Maybe theirs more to country than what’s on the outside 🤔
Great example of a L-C-R mix 😊
Love ya John !!!
Left Annie. Remarried; flew a plane; No prenup died off Monterey
Hello 2020!!!
Lots of misfortune, disease and a whole lots of Canadian love, eh?
South Park Colorado Farm?
tappin my boots while truckin across the country

Me: Angry at God for not being a country boy
2020 tapping my foot pyro

Birds: squawk squawk squawk
Cows: moo moo moo
Retards: 2020? 2020? 2020?

missing you denny, either come here or take me there.
Perfect love this song big time
I'm listening in 2041 because i wached the back to the future moovie last night.
I’m not from the country but I still love country music. Unlike pop, it comes from the heart from talented artists and is about life, not sex like every pop song
thanks John Denver you are my Sunshine
Why didn't he drive instead 😭
Remember that scene in Son In-Law🚜
Thank God I'm a Philly Boy.
Story of my life. I am grateful that I am not a city person. Too much stress
obviously i've heard this song before, but Letterkenny Problems did bring me back
CITYS ARE FREAKIN BIG I DO NOT LIKE LIVIN IN FREAKIN CITIES
This is my favorite song. sadly I live in the suburbs (at least I'm not in any frickin big city)
This is my anthem
"Life on the farm is kinda laid back?" Farm life is not "laid back" it's hard work...
The freedom to work as one wants is what he means but its even more than that its fulfilling work that's directly felt
Yeah I'd rather be a minimum wage worker where some jerk I don't even know plans my life every two weeks. I'm glad I can't be outside in the fresh air whenever I want. I'm glad I live paycheck to paycheck.
Pata Physics If you actually think about it when your used to hard work on the farm it is laid back. An you have real freedom an something that actually means something thats what he means.If you lived the life you’d understand so I can see if you dont how its hard to understand.
@James Bond The spy work didnt work out, then?
@Max nah mate, it didn't....
yooohooooooooo
When the suns coming up I got snakes on the griddle

Going to sound like an old fart, but I wish we had more songs like this in the current day, just a fun 3 min song no post editing just real singing and some real guitars.
2020 ketamine trip
It's 2020 and still amazing. I was cleaning the kitchen and this song randomly popped into my head. My little boy asked me what I was singing and now here we are enjoying the song together.
Man I wish I was a country boy.
Hell yeah All the way
John Denver flew so close to the sun that the afterglow still lights fields everywhere🍻lost but never forgotten 1943 - 1997.

Fantastic love this song from John a legend one of the greats
I remember the day he died. We're a bunch of guys in the South Bronx, NY where this kind of music isnt popular and we're talking about John and his humanity. He was something.
Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
I thank God I'm a country boy
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me an ole fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
I thank God I'm a country boy

But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I can, work when I should
Thank God I'm a country boy

When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle

Taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little

Love and respect from Russia. Stay strong South.
I remember a version of this back in 2003, obtained from WinMx, in which the beginning has the audience messing up the clapping and John telling them how to do it properly.
Bless John denver
Country is my life I love to wake up in the morning getting ready for school and walk out the front door to a fresh breez and seeing all the horses sadly 😥 my town and other ones close to me are in Bush fires around us and droughts 😥 we need rain
Best part of being an Os fan!!
Whose listening in 2019
Elvis Duran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
