A Country Boy Can Survive Y2k Version lyrics

Computer man says it`s the end of time
December 31st nineteen ninety-nine
People buyin` 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`ve got a shotgun, a rifle
And a four 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
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 in the millenium
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
He never called me Bocephus
Called me hillbilly
[really]

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For forty-three 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 in the millenium

We say grace
And we say ma`am
If you ain`t into that we don`t gi
