The preacher man says

it's the end a time

and the Mississippi river

she's-a-goin' dry
I live back in the woods
you see

My woman and the kids

and the dogs and me
I can plow a field all day long

I can catch catfish

from dusk 'til dawn, yeah
from dusk 'til dawn, yeah
Because you can't

starve us out

and you can't make us run
I had a good friend

in New York City
But he was killed by a man
with a switchblade knife
For forty-three dollars

my friend lost his life
And we can skin a buck

and run a trot line

and a country boy

can survive
Country folks can survive...
