A Country boy can survive - Hank Williams Jr.(Lyrics)
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 Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole 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 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 how to live off the land And his taught him to be a businessman He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights And I’d send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife For 43 dollars my friend lost his life Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes And shoot him with my old 45 Cause a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole 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 Alabam 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
Waylon & Johnny Cash - There Ain't No Good Chain Gang(Lyrics)
Album: Johnny Cash - ''I Would Like to See You Again'' Track: #09
Bet it ain't raining back home Bet your sister's still on the phone Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken Wishing that I hadn't done wrong.
Yeah, Momma, don't you worry about it none though Everything's gonna be all right, Momma They're teaching us a lot of new things in here Momma Things like.
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang.
Papa's reading yesterday's mail Wishing that the hay was all baled I bet he's a-wishing we could go fishing And here I am a-laying in jail.
Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now Everything's gonna be all right, Papa They're teaching us a lesson a day we're learning pretty well too We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already Things like.
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang.
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang.
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang...

If I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me. Just mind your own business (Mind your own business) If you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.
Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned I got all that I can do just to mind my own Why don't you mind your own business (Mind your own business) If you mind your own business, you'll stay busy all the time.
I walk the line - Johnny cash at san quentin (lyrics).
Mm-mm-mm-mm I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for the tie that binds. Because youre mine, I walk the line. Mm-mm-mm-mm I find it very, very easy to be true. I find myself alone when each day is through. Yes, Ill admit that Im a fool for you. Because youre mine, I walk the line. Mm-mm-mm-mm As sure as night is dark and day is light, I keep you on my mind both day and night. And happiness Ive known proves that its right. Because youre mine, I walk the line. Mm-mm-mm-mm Youve got a way to keep me on your side. You give me cause for love that I cant hide. For you, I know Id even try to turn the tide. Because youre mine, I walk the line. Mm-mm-mm-mm I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for the tie that binds. Because youre mine, I walk the line.
Whatever gets you through the night - Waylon Jennings(Waymore) singing it with his love, Jessi (Lyrics)
Whatever gets you through the night Whatever makes everything all right I'm not the kind to judge you See what you do is all right with me Whatever gets you through the night.
Well, some guys just don't care They say play all nights and sleep all day Then some work till the day they die Some get rich and some get by.
Some spend the lifetime having fun Some say they're gonna wait till Jesus comes Some say that girls are their downfall Some boys don't like girls at all Whatever gets you through the night.
Well, some like cars and fancy clothes Some live fast and some live slow Some spend their life searchin' for truth Some come to church in a three piece suit.
Well, I heard a good woman's all you need I heard some guys need two or three Some want to save the world I'm told Some just want to rock'n roll Whatever gets you through the night.
Whatever gets you through the night Whatever makes everything all right I'm not the kind to judge you See what you do is all right with me Whatever gets you through the night...
