3. Thank God I’m a Country Boy by John Denver
John Denver celebrates what he is thankful for in this upbeat, fast-paced, boot-stomping song.
“Well life on the farm is kinda laid back. Ain’t much an old country boy like me can’t hack. It’s early to rise, early in the sack. Thank God I’m a country boy.”
“Well, I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle when the sun’s coming up I got cakes on the griddle. Life ain’t nothing but a funny funny riddle. Thank God I’m a country boy!”
“Thank God I’m a Country Boy” was written by John Martin Sommers and debuted on John Denver’s Back Home Again album in 1974. The song topped both the Billboard Hot Country Singles and the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
