A Country Boy Can Survive lyrics

Computer man says it`s the end of time
December 31st, 1999
People buying up army 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 got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4-wheel drive
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
Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain`t too many things these `ol boys can`t do (including Bocephus)
We grow good `ol tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

`Cause you can`t starve us out
And you can`t make us run
We`ll survive the new millennium
We say grace and we say ma`am
If you ain`t into that we don`t give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coal mines
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 folks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
Never called me Bocephus, called me Hillbilly
But 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 you can`t starve us out
And you can`t make us run
We`ll survive the new millennium
We say grace and we say ma`am
If you 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
A country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Any year, any time
