Lyrics

The preacher man says its the end of time
And the mississippi river she's a goin' dry
The interest is up and the stock market's down
And you only get mugged if you go downtown
I live back in the woods you see
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive
And a 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 ole boys can't do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

( Chorus )
'Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
When we're them ol' boys raised on shotguns
We say grace and we say ma'am
And if you ain't into that, we don't give a damn

( Verse )
We came from the west virginia coal mines
And the rocky mountains and the western skies
We can skin a buck and run a trot line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I had a good friend in new york city
He never called me by my name just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the broadway lights
And I'd send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
For forty three dollars my friend lost his life
I'd love to spit some beechnut in that dude's eye
And shoot him with my ol' forty-five
'Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

[Repeat chorus]

( Verse )
Were from north california and south alabam'
And little towns all across this land
And we can skin a buck and run a trot line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
