A Country Boy Can Survive

Hank Williams Jr.
 DA
        The preacher man says its the end of time
 GD
        And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
 DA
        The interest is up and the stock markets down
 GD
        And you only get mugged if you go down town

 DA
        I live back in the woods you see
 GD
        My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
 DA
        I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive
 GAD
        And a country boy can survive
 AGD
        Country folks can survive

 DA
        I can plow a field all day long
 GD
        I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
 DA
        We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
 GD
        Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do
 A
        We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
 GAD
        And a country boy can survive
 AGD
        Country folks can survive

Chorus

 GF
        Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
 CG
        Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
 F
        We say grace and we say ma'am
 CG
        If you ain't into that we don't give a damn

 DA
        We came from the West Virginia coal mines
 GD
        And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies
 A
        And we can skin a buck we can run a trot line
 GAD
        And a country boy can survive
 AGD
        Country folks can survive
 DA
        I had a good friend in New York City
 GD
        He never called me by my name just HillBilly
 A
        My GrandPa taught me to live off the land
 GD
        And his taught him to be a business man
 A
        He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night
 GD
        And I'd send him some homemade wine
 A
        But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
 GD
        For forty three dollars my friend lost his life
 A
        I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye
 GD
        And shoot em' with my ole 45
 AGD
        Cause a country boy can survive
 AGD
        Country folks can survive

Chorus..................

 DA
        Were from North California and South Alabam
 GD
        And little towns all around this land
 A
        And we can skin a buck and run a trot line
 GAD
        And a country boy can survive
 AGD
        Country folks can survive
 AGD
        Country boy can survive
 AGDAGD
        Country folks can survive................
