I'm A Country Boy

Lyrics for I'm A Country Boy

New York City, is a thousand miles away And if you ask me, I'll tell you that's OK Now I'm not trying, to put the Big Apple down They don't need, a man like me in town Well, I pick cotton, down on the Dixie line I work all day, tryin' to make a dime But that's alright, that's OK by me 'Cause that's the way that it was, meant to be Big city, hard times, don't bother me I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be I don't like smoke, chokin' up my air And some of those city folks, well, they don't care I don't like cars, buzzing around I don't even want, a piece of concrete in my town I like sunshine, fresh clean air Makes me feel like, you wouldn't care, but That's all right, each to his own But one smell from the city And this country boy is gone ... I said Big city, hard times, never bother me I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be Well, I don't want to even read about it Let me tell you something, let me tell you true What's right for me, might not be right for you Well, you live your way, I'll live mine And I hope that you're happy, all the time I pick cotton, down on the Dixie line I work hard all day, tryin' to make a dime But that's all right, that's OK by me, 'cause That's the way, that it was supposed to be Big city, hard times, never bother me I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be Let me tell ya' ... I said Big city, hard times, never bother me I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be Ooh, that's my way, baby I don't want you to even tell me about the big city I don't want to read about it
