Thank God I'm A Country Girl Lyrics

Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country girl like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God, I'm a country girl

Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family and a-workin' on the farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country girl

Well, I got me a fine man, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
And life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country girl

When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
I pull out my fiddle and I rasin' up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God I'm a country girl

I'd play "Sally Goodin" all day if I could
But the Lord and my man wouldn't think it very good
So I fiddle when I can, and I work when I should
Thank God, I'm a country girl

Well, I got me a fine man, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
And life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country girl

I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I'd rather have a fiddle and my farmin' tools
Thank God I'm a country girl

City folk are drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen
Well son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
Thank God I'm a country girl

I got me a fine man, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country girl

Well, I fiddled with my daddy 'til the day he died
He took me by the hand, held me close to his side
Said live a good life, play the fiddle with pride
Thank God you're a country girl

Well, my daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
He taught me how to love, how to give just a little
Thank God I'm a country girl
