ntry Boy Can Survive
By: Hank Williams Jr.
D A
The preacher man says its the end of time
G D
And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
D A
The interest is up and the stock markets down
G D
And you only get mugged if you go down town
D A
I live back in the woods you see
G D
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
D A
I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive
G A D
And a country boy can survive
A G D
Country folks can survive
D A
I can plow a field all day long
G D
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
D A
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
G D
Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do
A
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
G A D
And a country boy can survive
A G D
Country folks can survive
Chorus
G F
Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
C G
Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
F
We say grace and we say ma'am
C G
If you ain't into that we don't give a damn
D A
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
G D
And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies
A
And we can skin a buck we can run a trot line
G A D
And a country boy can survive
A G D
Country folks can survive
D A
I had a good friend in New York City
G D
He never called me by my name just HillBilly
A
My GrandPa taught me to live off the land
G D
And his taught him to be a business man
A
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night
G D
And I'd send him some homemade wine
A
But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
G D
For forty three dollars my friend lost his life
A
I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye
G D
And shoot em' with my ole 45
A G D
Cause a country boy can survive
A G D
Country folks can survive
Chorus..................
D A
Were from North California and South Alabam
G D
And little towns all around this land
A
And we can skin a buck and run a trot line
G A D
And a country boy can survive
A G D
Country folks can survive
A G D
Country boy can survive
A G D A G D
Country folks can survive................
