Computer man says, its the end of time, December 31st, 1999 People buyin up on the surplus things Afraid of what the New Year will bring I live back in the woods you see Y2K dont mean a thing to me Ive got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4-wheel drive 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 Aint too many things these old boys cant do We grow good old tomatoes and our homemade wine Country boy can survive Country folks can survive 'Cause ya cant starve us out and ya cant make us run Well survive the new millennium We say grace and we say maam If ya aint into that we dont give a damn We came from the West Virginia coalmines And the Rocky Mountains and the western skies If the bank machines crash well be just fine
'Cause a country boy can survive Country boy can survive I had a good friend in New York City Never called me 'Bocephus' called me 'Hillbilly' Well he was k**ed by a man with a switchblade knife For 43 dollars my friend lost his life Now this dudes gonna get out in a year or two 'Cause the system dont work for me and you But a country boy can survive Country folks can survive 'Cause ya cant starve us out and ya cant make us run Well survive the new millennium We say grace and we say maam If ya aint into that we dont give a damn Were from North Carolina and south Alabam And little towns all around this land If the bank machines crash well be just fine And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive Country boy can survive Country folks can survive Any year, any time
