Hank Williams Jr. Country Boy Can Survive Lyrics

Country Boy Can Survive Lyrics

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
