Lyrics
Livin' The Country Life by Mark "Buc" Williams, 2010(ASCAP)
(V1)
I'm part of a close knit family
My wife and kids, the dog and me
We're up first thing at the crack of dawn
Workin' them fields til' daylight's gone
And as long as we're together, everything's alright
Livin' the country life
(Chorus)
And I'm proud of who I am
And I'll do all that I can
To keep my family safe and livin' free
I'll stand up for what's right
While never loosin' sight
Of my faith or trust in liberty
And I thank the good Lord, each and every night
I'm Livin' the country life
(V2)
It's a way of life that we prefer
Where a man is taken at his word
Where Sunday's still a day of rest
To appreciate how much you're blessed
A place where kids grow up, knowin' wrong from right
Livin' the country life
(Chorus)
And I'm proud of who I am
And I'll do all that I can
To keep my family safe and livin' free
I'll stand up for what's right
While never loosin' sight
Of my faith or trust in liberty
And I thank the good Lord, each and every night
I'm Livin' the country life
(Bridge)
Those who've never lived it, will never understand
Or appreciate just what it means to be part of the land
And I thank the good Lord, each and every night
I'm Livin' the country life
(Chorus)
And I'm proud of who I am
A true American
And I'll fight to keep my family safe and free
I'll stand up for what's right
While never loosing sight
Of my faith or trust in liberty
And I thank the good Lord, each and every night
I'm Livin' the country life
Livin' the country life
Livin' the country life
I'm part of a close knit' family
My wife and kids, the dog and me
Thanks Vonee!
