[Verse 1]
Bb F
Country boy, ain't got no shoes
Bb F
Country boy, ain't got no blues
F
Well, you work all day while you're wantin' to play
F
In the sun and the sand, with a face that's tanned
F
But at the end of the day when your work is done
C7 C7/G F
You ain't got nothing but fun
[Verse 2]
Bb F
Country boy, ain't got no ills
Bb F
Country boy, don't owe no bills
F
You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm
F
While you put him on a hook and then you drop him in the brook
F
And if everything's gonna turn out right
C7 C7/G F
You're gonna fry fish tonight
[Chorus]
Bb F
Country boy, your luck it's free
Bb C F
Country boy, I wish I was you, and you was me
[Solo]
Bb F Bb F
F F F
[Verse 3]
Bb F
Country boy, got work to do
Bb F
Country boy, in the mornin' dew
F
You gotta cut the weeds, you got to plant the seeds
F
There's many a row you know you gotta hoe
F
But when it's quittin' time and your work is through
C7 C7/G F
There's a lot of life in you
[Verse 4]
Bb F
Country boy, got a shaggy dog
Bb F
Country boy, up a holler log
F
Well, he comes at a run when you pick up your gun
F
And with a shell or two, and your dog and you
F
When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide
C7 C7/G F
He's gonna be good fried
[Outro]
Bb F
Country boy, you got a lot to lose
Bb C F
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes
