A                        D 
Well life in the scrub is kinda laid back 
A                        G      E 
Aint much a young ringer like me cant hack 
A                        D 
Got a 4 wheel drive and a red dust track 
A            E      A 
Thank God im a country boy 
 
Well workin on the land never bothered me  

Im a strong hard lad from the big country  

Way out here is where i ever wanna be 

Thank God im a country boy 
 
(Chorus) 
A                 E 
Spend all week long working in the sun 
A                 E 
Gonna get a little time gonna have some fun 
A                        D 
Im a laid back beer drinkin Australian 
      A      E      A       
Thank God Im a country boy 
 
 
Wearin old blue jeans and a Jackie Howe 
Jump in the ute and i head into town 
Live a little rough, get a little loud 
Thank God im a country boy 
 
Now we're all louts but we all mean well 
Everybodys got jokes for the young to tell 
So settle right in a say what the hell 
Thank God im a country boy 
 
Chorus 
 
Got an old wood shack by the brigalow 
Place to fish where the river flows 
Youre welcome there if you ever wanna go 
Thank God im a country boy 
 
Kickin back on a Sunday Afternoon 
Sittin down in the shade nothin much to do 
Grab another beer and light the barbecue 
Thank God im a country boy 
 
Chorus 
 
Well workin on the land never bothered me  
Im a strong hard lad from the big country  
Way out here is where i ever wanna be 
Thank God im a country boy 
 
Chorus
