A Country Boy Can Survive (y2k Version)

Chad Brock

Computer man says it's the end of time


December 31st, 1999


People buying up army surplus things


Afraid of what the new year will bring





I live back in the woods, you see


Y2K don't mean a thing to me


I got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4-wheel drive


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


Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too


Ain't too many things these 'ol boys can't do (including Bocephus)


We grow good 'ol tomatoes and homemade wine


And a country boy can survive


Country folks can survive





'Cause you can't starve us out


And you can't make us run


We'll survive the new millennium


We say grace and we say ma'am


If you ain't into that we don't give a damn





We came from the West Virginia coal mines


And the Rocky Mountains and the western skies


If the bank machines crash, we'll be just fine


'Cause a country boy can survive


Country folks can survive





I had a good friend in New York City


Never called me Bocephus, called me Hillbilly


But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife


For 43 dollars my friend lost his life





Now this dude's gonna get out in a year or two


'Cause the system don't work for me and you


But a country boy can survive


Country folks can survive





'Cause you can't starve us out


And you can't make us run


We'll survive the new millennium


We say grace and we say ma'am


If you ain't into that we don't give a damn





We're from North Carolina and South Alabam


And little towns all around this land


If the bank machines crash, we'll be just fine


And a country boy can survive


Country folks can survive


A country boy can survive


Country folks can survive





Any year, any time
