Kid Rock - Country Boy Can Survive Lyrics






The preacher man says it's the end of time
The Mississippi river, she is going dry

The interest is up, and the stock market's down
You only get mugged if you go down town

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

I got a shotgun, and a rifle, and a 4-wheel drive
A country boy can survive
And a country boy can survive

See, I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn

We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do, no

We grow good ole tomatoes, make homemade wine
A country boy can survive
And a country boy can survive

'Cause you can't starve us out, can't make me run
Hey there boy, I got a big shotgun
We say "Grace", and we say "Ma'am"
If you ain't into that, we don't give a God damn

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me Kid Rock, he called me hillbilly

My grandpa taught me how to live off this land
His taught him to be a businessman

He used to send me pictures of the Broadway night
I'd send him some of that homemade wine

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

I wanna spit some beechnut in the dude's eyes
Shoot him with my motherfucking .45
A country boy can survive

'Cause you can't starve us out, can't make us run
Hey there boy, I got a big shotgun
We say "Grace", and we say "Ma'am"
If you ain't into that, we don't give a God damn

We're from North California and South Alabama
And little towns all around this land
Well, I can skin a buck and run a trotline
A country boy can survive
Well, a country boy can survive
Survive

    If you were so terribly unfortunate as to watch rapper Kid Rock 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐏𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐧' 𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐮𝐧, well friends, you missed a Super Nova Just Starting to burnout!


    The Kid's now bendin' over deep for some Manly Men like Hank Jr. and Toby Keith to penetrate and push his new Ca Rear.


    Takin' it in that 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 like only a (privately schooled) 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗔𝗦𝗦 𝗥𝗔𝗣 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗔 can do!!

    Kid Rock In Da OutHouse!

  7. L.... T....

    Is this even actually Kid Rock? 🤦🏻

  8. L.... 7....

    Bill isn't made for country

  9. C.... ....

    He sucks

  10. S.... E....

    Naysayers can fuck off!

  11. S.... E....

    No doubt about it...

  12. H.... A....

    Kid? This guy is over 40. I really wanted to like this, cuz this is my favorite song. Sounds like a 12 year old covered it.

  13. M.... M....

    People who say this suck. When you were 20 years old I would like to see you do better. Give him a brake.

  14. M.... P....

    Kid Rock takes a lot a shit from people but I live in Alabama and have seen him live 3 times and he puts on some of the best concerts I've ever seen. I remember him playing You never met a motherfucker like me and after the line I never wanted a guitar until I heard a riff like this they started playing Freebird and played damn near the whole song then went back into You never met a motherfucker like me and finished it. It was badass.

  15. E.... O....

    This is the best country song ever made the original of course.

  16. d.... t....

    Kidd Rock cusses slot.

  17. d.... t....

  18. C.... S....

    I'm a big Hank Jr. fan but there's no doubt Kid Rock has real talent unlike a lot of modern "artists". He's got a killer voice and made the song his own instead of just trying to sound like the original. Much respect for being a cool, down to earth guy with a good taste in music

  19. C.... R....

    Yes. The original is.100 better...

  20. S.... C....

    I've Always Loved Me Some Great Kid Rock & The Way He ALWAYS Puts His OWN Mesh Into It. & So Can This Country Girl. SURVIVE.
