Country Boy Can Survive

Computer man says, it's the end of time, December 31st, 1999 People buyin' up on the surplus things Afraid of what the New Year will bring I live back in the woods you see Y2K don't mean a thing to me I've got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4-wheel drive Country boy can survive Country folks can survive I can plow a field all day long I can catch catfish from dusk till 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 our homemade wine Country boy can survive Country folks can survive 'Cause ya can't starve us out and ya can't make us run We'll survive the new millennium We say grace and we say ma'am If ya ain't into that we don't give a damn We came from the West Virginia coalmines And the Rocky Mountains and the western skies If the bank machines crash we'll be just fine 'Cause a country boy can survive Country boy can survive I had a good friend in New York City Never called me 'Bocephus' called me 'Hillbilly' Well he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife For 43 dollars my friend lost his life Now this dude's gonna get out in a year or two 'Cause the system don't work for me and you But a country boy can survive Country folks can survive 'Cause ya can't starve us out and ya can't make us run We'll survive the new millennium We say grace and we say ma'am If ya ain't into that we don't give a damn We're from North Carolina and south Alabam And little towns all around this land If the bank machines crash we'll be just fine And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive Country boy can survive Country folks can survive Any year, any time
