A Country Boy Can Survive

Hank Williams, Jr.

Lyrics Translation

The preacher man says it's the end of time
And the Mississippi River, she's a going dry
The interest is up and the stock markets down
And you only get mugged if you go downtown

I live back in the woods, you see
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun and a rifle and a four wheel drive
And a country boy can survive, country folks can survive

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn
Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain't too many things these old boys can't do
We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine
And country boy can survive, country folk can survive

Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
'Cause we're them ol' boys raised on shotguns
We say grace and we say ma'am
And if you ain't into that, we don't give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coal mines
And the Rocky Mountains and the Western skies
And we can skin a buck, we can run a trot line
And a country boy can survive, country folks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a business man

He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Nights
And I'd send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For forty three dollars, my friend lost his life

I'd love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my ol' .45
'Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

'Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
And we're them ol' boys raised on shotgun
We say grace, we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn

We're from North California and South Alabama
And little towns all around this land
We can skin a buck andrun a trot line
And a country boy can survive, country folks can survive
Country boy can survive, country folks can survive

The preacher man says it's the end of time
O pregador diz que é o fim dos tempos
And the Mississippi River, she's a going dry
E o rio Mississippi, ela está secando
The interest is up and the stock markets down
Os juros estão subindo e a bolsa de valores está caindo
And you only get mugged if you go downtown
E você só é assaltado se for ao centro da cidade
I live back in the woods, you see
Eu moro no meio do mato, você vê
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
Minha mulher e as crianças e os cachorros e eu
I got a shotgun and a rifle and a four wheel drive
Eu tenho uma espingarda e um rifle e um carro de quatro rodas
And a country boy can survive, country folks can survive
E um garoto do campo pode sobreviver, as pessoas do campo podem sobreviver
I can plow a field all day long
Eu posso arar um campo o dia todo
I can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn
Eu posso pegar bagre do anoitecer até o amanhecer
Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Fazemos nosso próprio uísque e nosso próprio fumo também
Ain't too many things these old boys can't do
Não há muitas coisas que esses velhos não possam fazer
We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine
Nós cultivamos bons tomates antigos e vinho caseiro
And country boy can survive, country folk can survive
E um garoto do campo pode sobreviver, as pessoas do campo podem sobreviver
Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
Porque você não pode nos matar de fome e não pode nos fazer correr
'Cause we're them ol' boys raised on shotguns
Porque somos aqueles velhos criados com espingardas
We say grace and we say ma'am
Nós dizemos graça e nós dizemos senhora
And if you ain't into that, we don't give a damn
E se você não gosta disso, nós não damos a mínima
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
Viemos das minas de carvão da Virgínia Ocidental
And the Rocky Mountains and the Western skies
E as Montanhas Rochosas e os céus do oeste
And we can skin a buck, we can run a trot line
E nós podemos esfolar um veado, podemos correr uma linha de trote
And a country boy can survive, country folks can survive
E um garoto do campo pode sobreviver, as pessoas do campo podem sobreviver
I had a good friend in New York City
Eu tinha um bom amigo em Nova York
He never called me by my name just hillbilly
Ele nunca me chamou pelo meu nome, apenas caipira
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
Meu avô me ensinou a viver da terra
And his taught him to be a business man
E o dele o ensinou a ser um homem de negócios
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Nights
Ele costumava me enviar fotos das noites da Broadway
And I'd send him some homemade wine
E eu mandava para ele um pouco de vinho caseiro
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
Mas ele foi morto por um homem com uma faca de mola
For forty three dollars, my friend lost his life
Por quarenta e três dólares, meu amigo perdeu a vida
I'd love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
Eu adoraria cuspir um pouco de noz de faia nos olhos daquele cara
And shoot him with my ol' .45
E atirar nele com minha velha .45
'Cause a country boy can survive
Porque um garoto do campo pode sobreviver
Country folks can survive
As pessoas do campo podem sobreviver
'Cause you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
Porque você não pode nos matar de fome e não pode nos fazer correr
And we're them ol' boys raised on shotgun
E somos aqueles velhos criados com espingarda
We say grace, we say ma'am
Nós dizemos graça, nós dizemos senhora
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn
Se você não gosta disso, nós não damos a mínima
