I don t know how to write the riffs that are added during the song.
Some are hammer on and pull offs on the 4th & 5th string while strumming
the D chord.
[Verse]
The preacher man says its the end of time
And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
The interest is up and the stock markets down
And you only get mugged if you go down town
I live back in the woods you see
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive
And 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
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain t too many things these ole boys can t do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
[Chorus]
Because you can t starve us out and you can t make us run
Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
We say grace and we say ma am
(riff)
If you ain t into that we don t give a damn
[Verse]
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies
And we can skin a buck we can run a trot line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name just HillBilly
My GrandPa taught me to live off the land
And his taught him to be a business man
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night
And I d send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
For forty three dollars my friend lost his life
I d love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye
And shoot em with my ole 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
[Chorus]
Because you can t starve us out and you can t make us run
Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
We say grace and we say ma am
(riff)
If you ain t into that we don t give a damn
[Verse]
Were from North California and South Alabam
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck and run a trot line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Country boy can survive
Country folks can survive..............
