Computer man says, it's the end of time, December 31st, 1999
People buyin' up on the 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've got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4-wheel drive

Country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn

We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain't too many things these old boys can't do
We grow good old tomatoes and our homemade wine

Country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

'Cause ya can't starve us out and ya can't make us run
We'll survive the new millennium
We say grace and we say ma'am
If ya ain't into that we don't give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coalmines
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 boy can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
Never called me 'Bocephus' called me 'Hillbilly'

Well 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 ya can't starve us out and ya can't make us run
We'll survive the new millennium
We say grace and we say ma'am
If ya 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
Country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Any year, any time
