 G                               Dm 
The preacher man says its the end of time

And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
  G                            Dm 
The interest is up and the stock markets down
          C                        G
And you only get mugged if you go down town

  G                    Dm 
I live back in the woods you see
     C                            G
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me

I can plow a field all day long
        C                    G
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
  G                                 Dm 
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
        C                           G
Ainʼt too many things these ole boys canʼt do
                                Dm 
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
        C             Dm    G

Because you canʼt starve us out and you canʼt make us run
        F                          C
Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
                   A#

If you ainʼt into that we donʼt give a damn

Verse:
  G                         Dm 
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
          C                         G
And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies
                                Dm 
And we can skin a buck we can run a trot line
        C             Dm    G
And a country boy can survive
  Dm              C     G
Country folks can survive

  G                        Dm 
I had a good friend in New York City
     C                            G
He never called me by my name just HillBilly
                          Dm 
My GrandPa taught me to live off the land
      C                        G
And his taught him to be a business man
                                     Dm 
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night
      C                   G
And Iʼd send him some homemade wine
                                    Dm 
But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
      C                        G
For forty three dollars my friend lost his life
                                    Dm 
Iʼd love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye
      C                       G
And shoot emʼ with my ole 45
          Dm            C     G
Cause a country boy can survive
  Dm              C     G
Country folks can survive

Chorus.

  G                                Dm 
Were from North California and South Alabam
      C                  G
And little towns all around this land
                             Dm 
And we can skin a buck and run a trot line
        C             Dm    G
And a country boy can survive
  Dm              C     G
Country folks can survive

Country boy can survive
