Williams Jr., Hank - A Country Boy Can Survive Lyrics






The preacher man says it's the end of time
And the Mississippi River she's a-goin' dry
The interest is up and the Stock Market's down
And you only get mugged if you go downtown

I live back in the woods, you see
My woman and the kids, and the dogs, and me
I got a shotgun, a rifle, and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

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 old boys can't do
We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Because you can't starve us out
And you can't make us run
'Cause we're them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say "grace" and we say "Ma'am"
And if you ain't into that we don't give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coal mines
And the Rocky Mountains and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trotline
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I'd send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
I'd love to spit some beech nut in that dude's eyes
And shoot him with my old .45
'Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

'Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
'Cause we're them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say "grace" and we say "Ma'am"
And if you ain't into that we don't give a damn

We're from North California and South Alabama
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trotline
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

    For 30 years I thought he said run a truck line.

    3.... m....

    Ha ha ha! :)

    3.... m....

    @Waterlily 2017 Just realized too that he says:
    If you ain't into that we don't give a damn.


    No lie...for 30 plus years I thought he said:
    If you ain't from the south we don't give a damn.

    3.... m....

    @3ds max Ha ha, I am still seeing I had lyrics wrong for 30 years on other videos, so I completely understand. There ARE a lot of truckers in the South, so quite understandable you thought it said that. Ha ha, we pretty much DO give a damn if people aren't from the South though. We don't want any foolishness from elsewhere changing things up. ;)

  29. F.... M....

    Greatest country song of all time !!!!

  30. T.... T....

    I feel sorry for the 26k people that are deaf.

  31. F.... D....

    I'm from NY, not the city. The rest of the state is constantly shadowed by that cesspool. We are the people Hank is talking about. Country boys and girls!

  32. A.... ....

    And the cats in the cradle in the silver spoon. Little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you coming home dad?" "I don't know when." You know we'll have a good time then.

  33. D.... T....

    his is pretty much the whiteboi's version of a gangster-music video.

  34. E.... F....

    My friend MIchelle poe plays bass with Hank Jr.........

  35. j.... m....

    What does hank Jr know about real country people ? Fuck all. This is the same kind of fake rootsy bullshit that made hitler and goering a big hit with the germans. If this idiot gave a fuck about real country folk he wouldn't be sucking republicon cock while they suck corporate cock

  36. B.... ....

    Damn... He sounds like a reincarnation of Waylon Jennings.

  37. D.... J....

  66. S.... ....

    For me when this song came out you know a bad ass Militech Fighting Systems country boy was approaching the Octagon to do battle. Matt Hughes is elite, having ridiculous power, high level submissions, power wrestling, and respectable but not as dynamic striking. One of the greatest 170 pound fighters to ever battle in the cage.

  67. j.... ....

    We are no longer fly over states!

    My daddy named me Bonnie Lee and his name was Jesse James. Two outlaw names out of the mountains and hollers of West Virginia. I forwarded this song to my son Alexander. I told him this is country music not the crap that they have on the radio today. My daddy loved Hank Sr. He wooed her with Hank Sr.love songs. He would lean over her machine at the factory singing “Your Cold Cold Heart” because she refused to pay attention to him and she ignored him. That’s how she won him. My daddy’s life is worthy of a great country song.
