I`m A Country Boy — текст песни (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

New York City is a thousand miles away
And if you ask me, I`ll tell you that`s OK
Now I`m not trying to put the big apple down
`Cause they don`t need a man like me in town
I pick cotton down on the Dixie line
Work hard all day tryin` to make a dime
But that`s allright, that`s OK by me
`Cause that`s the way that it was meant to be

Big city, hard times don`t bother me
I`m a country boy, I`m as happy as I can be

I don`t like smoke chokin` up my air
And some of those city folks well they don`t care
I don`t like cars buzzing around
I don`t even want a piece of concrete in my town
I like sunshine, fresh clean air
Makes me feel like you wouldn`t care but
that`s all right, each to his own
But one smell from the city
And this country boy is gone
Big city, hard times don`t bother me
I`m a country boy, I`m as happy as I can be

Well, I don`t want to even read about it

Let me tell you something, let me tell you true
What`s right for me might not be right for you
Well, you live your way, I`ll live mine
And I hope that your happy all the time
I pick cotton down on the Dixie line
Work hard all day tryin` to make a dime
But that`s all right, that`s OK by me
`Cause that`s the way that it was supposed to be


Big city, hard times never bother me
I`m a country boy, I`m as happy as I can be

Let me tell ya, ... I said
Big city, hard times never bother me
I`m a country boy, I`m as happy as I can be
Ooh, that`s my way, baby
I don`t want you to even tell me about the big city
I don`t want to read about it...
