now i'm just a simple guy
but there's one thing sure is shooting
i hate those folks who think that they're so dead
burn high for looking
i'd be the same in hollywood or ride in my own kitchen
i believe in fussing when you're mad
and scratching when you're itching
i'm a plain old country boy
a cornbread loving country boy
i raise cain on saturday but i go to church on sunday
i'm a plain old country boy
a cornbread loving country boy
i'll be looking over that old gray mule
when the sun comes up on monday
where i come from opportunities
they never were too good
we never had much money but we done the best we could
my doctored me from young and hood
with help some salts and die dine
made my diapers out of old feet sacks
my spenders out of plow lines
i'm a plain old country boy
a cornbread loving country boy
i raise cain on saturday and i go to church on sunday
i'm a plain old country boy
a tater eating country boy
i'll be looking over that old gray mule
when the sun comes up on monday
every time the preacher come i always fix the chicken
if i reach for a drumstick i was sure to get a licking
she always saved two parts for me
but i had to shut my mouth
twas the gizzard and the north end
of a chicken flying south
i'm a plain old country boy
a cornbread loving country boy
i raise cain on saturday
but i go to church on sunday
i'm a plain old country boy
a tater eating country boy
i'll be looking over that old bring you
when the sun comes up on monday
