2. When the work's all done and the sun'ssettin' low

I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow. But the kids are asleepso I keep it kinda low Thank God I'm a country boy. I'd play "Sally Goodin' " all day if I could, guf thä Lord-and my wife wouldn't take it very good. So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should. Thank God I'm a country boy. (To Chorus)

I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels, I never was one of them money-hungryfools. I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools.

Additional Lyrics

2. His mother died that summer,he never learnedto cry. He never knew his father. he never did ask whv. And he never knew the answersthat would mäke an easvwav. But he learnedto know the wildernessand to be a man that way. a

His mother's brother took him in to his familv and his home. Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own. And he learnedto be a farmer,and he learnedto love the land. And he learnedto read the seasons,and he learnedto make a stand. (To Chorus)

4. On the eve of his twenty-first birthday he set out on his own. He was thirtv vearsand runnin'when he found his wav back home. Ridin' a stor-rnacrossthe mountainsand an achin'in his heart, Said he cameto turn the pagesand to make a brand-newstart.

5 . Now, he never told the story of the time that he was gone.

Some say he was a lawyer, Jome say he was a john. There was somethin'in the city that he said he couldn't breathe, And there was somethin'in thä country that he said he couldn't'leave.(To Chorus)

6. Now, somesayhe was crilzy,someare glad heb gone. But some of us will miss him and we'll trv to carrv on. Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voiie to the äawn, Givin! a voice to the wildeiriess a"ndthe land that he lived on. (Tb Chorus)
