Whoo!
|
|
I got a spot in the country.
|
I got a dog in the yard.
|
I got a beat-up Chevy:
|
Runs kinda rough but she starts.
|
I got my Grandaddy's shotgun:
|
I can shoot pretty good.
|
I got a nice little garden of weeds,
|
Tucked back up in the wood.
|
|
An' I'm doin all right, livin' my life:
|
You got yours an' I got mine.
|
Yeah, it may not look like much to you,
|
But it's simple an' it suits me fine.
|
Yeah, the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train:
|
Listen to that engine whine.
|
'Cause I am what I am an' I sleep good at night,
|
An' I'm doin' alright.
|
|
I got a front porch for pickin',
|
I got a Nice ol' guitar.
|
I got some lightnin' for sippin':
|
I've had about a jar.
|
I got a pretty old lady,
|
She's good at stretchin' a dime.
|
In this little corner a-heaven mister,
|
We have a helluva time.
|
|
An' I'm doin all right, livin' my life:
|
You got yours an' I got mine.
|
Yeah, it may not look like much to you,
|
But it's simple an' it suits me fine.
|
Yeah, the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train:
|
Listen to that engine whine.
|
Yeah, I am what I am an' I don't give a damn,
|
An' I'm doin' alright.
|
|
Instrumental Break.
|
|
All the rats in the city,
|
Are livin' out of a box.
|
They look down their nose, at my life, I suppose,
|
An' I just laugh my country ass off.
|
|
Yeah, I'm doin all right, livin' my life:
|
You got yours an' I got mine.
|
Yeah, it may not look like much to you,
|
But it's simple an' it suits me fine.
|
Yeah, the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train:
|
Listen to that engine whine.
|
'Cause I am what I am an' I sleep good at night,
|
An' I'm doin' alright.
|
Yeah, I'm doin' alright.
