Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Aint much an old country boy like me cant hack
Its early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God Im a country boy
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin me a family and workin on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God Im a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
Thank God Im a country boy
When the works all done and the suns settlin low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God Im a country boy
Id play sally goodin all day if I could
But the lord and my wife wouldnt take it very good
So I fiddle when I could, work when I should
Thank God Im a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
Thank God Im a country boy
Well I wouldnt trade my life for diamonds and jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
Iid rather have my fiddle and my farmin tools
Thank God Im a country boy
Yeah, city folk drivin in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin thats mighty keen
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
Thank God Im a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
Thank God Im a country boy
Well, my fiddle was my daddys till the day he died
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
Said, live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
And thank God youre a country boy
My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
Taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
Thank God Im a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
Thank God Im a country boy
Thank God Im a country boy

John Denver, pseudonimo di Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (1943-1997), è stato un cantautore e musicista statunitense profondamente legato al genere folk rock. Nato a Roswell, nel New Mexico, Denver ha trascorso la sua infanzia tra il Colorado e l'Arizona, influenzato dalla bellezza naturale del paesaggio occidentale americano che spesso trovava ispirazione nelle sue canzoni. Dopo aver studiato musica al college, si è trasferito a Denver, Colorado, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale suonando in locali e festival folk. Nel 1970 ha firmato un contratto discografico con RCA Records e ha pubblicato il suo album di debutto, "Poems, Prayers and Promises", che ha riscosso un grande successo. Denver è diventato famoso per le sue melodie orecchiabili, i testi poetici e la sua voce calda e rassicurante. I suoi brani più famosi includono "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Annie's Song" e "Rocky Mountain High". La sua musica ha spesso celebrato la natura, l'amore per la famiglia e il desiderio di pace e armonia. Oltre alla musica, Denver si è impegnato in diverse cause ambientaliste e umanitarie, diventando un simbolo di speranza e positività per milioni di persone in tutto il mondo.
