Country Trash

January 05, 1973

Lyrics

[Chorus]
I got a crib full of corn and a turning plow
But the ground’s too wet for the hopper now
Got a cultivator and a double tree
A leather line for the haw and
Let the thunder roll and the lighting flash
I’m doing alright for country trash

[Verse 1]
I’m saving up dimes for a rainy day
I got about a dollar laid away
The wind’s from the south and the fishing’s good
Got a potbelly stove a cord of wood
Mama turns the left-overs into hash
I’m doing alright for country trash

[Chorus]
I got a mackinaw wand a hunting dog
A cap I ordered from the catalog
A big tall tree that shades the yard
A big fat sow for the winter’s lard
Let the thunder roll and the lighting flash
I’m doing alright for country trash

[Verse 2]
Well there’s not much new ground left to plow
And crops need fertilizing now
My hands don’t earn me too much gold
For security when I grow old
But we’ll all be equal under the grass
And God’s got a heaven for country trash[x2]
I’ll be doing alright for country trash
