[Verse 1]
Country boy ain't got no shoes
Country boy ain't got no blues
Well, you work all day while you're wanting to play
In the sun and the sand with a face that's tan
At the end of the day when your work is done
You ain't got nothing but fun

[Chorus]
Country boy ain't got no ills
Country boy, you don't owe no bills

[Verse 2]
You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm
While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook
If everything's gonna turn out right
You're gonna fry fish tonight

[Chorus]
Country boy, got a lot to lose
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes

[Verse 3]
Country boy got a shaggy dog
Country boy up a holler log
Well, he comes in a run when you pick up your gun
And with a shell or two and your dog and you
When you get your rabbit you'll skin his hide
He's gonna be good fried
[Chorus]
Country boy, you got a lot to lose
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes

[Verse 4]
Country boy, you got work to do
Country boy in the morning dew
You gotta plant the seed, you gotta cut the weeds
There's many a row you know you gotta hoe
When it's quittin' time and your work is through
There's a lot of life in you

[Chorus 3]
Country boy, you're lucky free
Country boy, I wish I was you and you was me
