A Country Boy Can Survive (The Voice Performance) Songtext
von Jake Worthington

The preacher man says it′s the end of time
And the Mississippi River she's 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
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-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


Because you can′t starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cuz we′re them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma'am
And if you ain′t into that we don't give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coalmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
And we can skin a buck, we can run a trout line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Cause you can′t starve us out and you can't make us run
Cuz we′re them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma'am
And if you ain't into that we don′t give a damn

We′re from North California and south Alabama
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck we can run a trot-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
A country boy can survive
Yeah, a country boy can survive
