Computer man says it's the end of time

December 31st, 1999

People buying up army surplus things

Afraid of what the new year will bring



I live back in the woods, you see

Y2K don't mean a thing to me

I got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4-wheel drive

A country boy can survive

Country folks can survive



I can plow a field all day long

I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn

Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too

Ain't too many things these 'ol boys can't do (including Bocephus)

We grow good 'ol tomatoes and homemade wine

And a country boy can survive

Country folks can survive



'Cause you can't starve us out

And you can't make us run

We'll survive the new millennium

We say grace and we say ma'am

If you ain't into that we don't give a damn



We came from the West Virginia coal mines

And the Rocky Mountains and the western skies

If the bank machines crash, we'll be just fine

'Cause a country boy can survive

Country folks can survive



I had a good friend in New York City

Never called me Bocephus, called me Hillbilly

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife

For 43 dollars my friend lost his life



Now this dude's gonna get out in a year or two

'Cause the system don't work for me and you

But a country boy can survive

Country folks can survive



'Cause you can't starve us out

And you can't make us run

We'll survive the new millennium

We say grace and we say ma'am

If you ain't into that we don't give a damn



We're from North Carolina and South Alabam

And little towns all around this land

If the bank machines crash, we'll be just fine

And a country boy can survive

Country folks can survive

A country boy can survive

Country folks can survive



Any year, any time
