But the kids are asleepso I keep it kinda low
Thank God I'm a country boy.
I'd play "Sally Goodin' " all day if I could,

So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should.

2. After supperwe'd sit around the fire,
The old folks'd spit and chew.
Pa would talk abbut the farm and the war.
And Granny'd sing a ballad or two.
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire
Till the cobwebsfilled mv head.
Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the mornin'
In the midle of the old feather bed,.Co Chorus)

J. Well, I love my ma,I love my pa.
I love Granny and Grandpa too.

But if I ever had to make a choice.
I guessit oughtabe said
That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road
For Grandma'sfeather bed. (To Chorus)

Additional Lyrics
2. His mother died that summer,he never learnedto cry.
He never knew his father. he never did ask whv.
And he never knew the answersthat would mke an easvwav.
But he learnedto know the wildernessand to be a man that way.
a
His mother's brother took him in to his familv and his home.
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own.
And he learnedto be a farmer,and he learnedto love the land.
And he learnedto read the seasons,and he learnedto make a stand. (To Chorus)

4. On the eve of his twenty-first birthday he set out on his own.

He was thirtv vearsand runnin'when he found his wav back home.
Ridin' a stor-rnacrossthe mountainsand an achin'in his heart,
Said he cameto turn the pagesand to make a brand-newstart.

5 . Now, he never told the story of the time that he was gone.
Some say he was a lawyer, Jome say he was a john.
There was somethin'in the city that he said he couldn't breathe,
And there was somethin'in th country that he said he couldn't'leave.(To Chorus)

6. Now, somesayhe was crilzy,someare glad heb gone.

But some of us will miss him and we'll trv to carrv on.
Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voiie to the awn,
Givin! a voice to the wildeiriess a"ndthe land that he lived on. (Tb Chorus)
