A
New York City is a thousand miles away
And if you ask me, I'll tell you that's okay
Now I'm not trying to put the big apple down
Because they don't need a man like me in town
D
I pick cotton down on the Dixie line
Work hard all day trying to make a dime
A
But that's all right, that's okay by me
Because that's the way that it was meant to be

Chorus:
G                   D
Big city, hard times don't bother me
A
I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be

I don't like smoke choking up my air
And some of those city folks well they don't care
I don't like cars buzzing around
I don't even want a piece of concrete in my town
I like sunshine, fresh clean air
Makes me feel like you wouldn't care but
That's all right, each to his own
But one smell from the city
And this country boy is gone

Chorus

Well, I don't want to even read about it
Let me tell you something, let me tell you true
What's right for me might not be right for you
Well, you live your way, I'll live mine
And I hope that your happy all the time
I pick cotton down on the Dixie line
Work hard all day trying to make a dime
But that's all right, that's okay by me
Because that's the way that it was supposed to be

Chorus

Let me tell you, I said

Chorus

Ooh, that's my way, baby
I don't want you to even tell me about the big city
I don't want to read about it
