Country boy, ain't got no shoes
        A                 E
Country boy, ain't got no blues
          E                         E
Well, you work all day while you're wantin' to play
       E                        E
In the sun and the sand, with a face that's tan
           E                         E
But at the end of the day, when your work is done
    B                     E
You ain't got nothin' but fun


        A                 E
Country boy, ain't got no ills
        A                     E
Country boy, you don't owe no bills
          E                        E
You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm
          E                         E
While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook
   E                  E
If everything's gonna turn out right
       B                E
You're gonna fry fish tonight


        A                 E
Country boy, got a lot to lose
        A           B             E
Country boy, I wish I was in your shoes

        A                 E
Country boy, got a shaggy dog
        A                E
Country boy, up a holler log
         E                        E
Well, he comes in a run, when you pick up your gun
           E                      E
And with a shell or two, and your dog and you
         E                       E
When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide
B                  E
He's gonna be good fried


        A                     E
Country boy, you got a lot to lose
        A           B             E
Country boy, I wish I was in your shoes

        A                    E
Country boy, you got work to do
        A                   E
Country boy, in the morning dew
          E                         E
You gotta plant the seed, you gotta cut the weeds
        E                       E
There's many a row you know you gotta hoe
          E                       E
When it's quittin' time, and your work is through
B                        E
There's a lot of life in you


        A                 E
Country boy, you're lucky free
        A                 B               E
Country boy, I wish I was you and you was me
