[Intro] A [Verse 1]
A
New York City is a thousand miles away

A
And if you ask me, I'll tell you that's OK

A
Now I'm not trying to put the big apple down

A
'Cause they don't need a man like me in town

D
Well, I pick cotton down on the Dixie line

D
Work hard all day tryin' to make a dime

A
But that's alright, that's OK by me

A
'Cause 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
[Verse 2]
A
I don't like smoke chokin' up my air

A
And some of those city folks well they don't care

A
I don't like cars buzzing around

A
I don't even want a piece of concrete in my town

D
I like sunshine, fresh clean air

D
Makes me feel like you wouldn't care but

A
That's all right, each to his own

A
But one smell from the city

A
And this country boy is gone, I said
[Chorus]
G                    D
Big city, hard times never bothered me heeeee

A
I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be

A
Well, I don't want to even read about it
[Instrumental] A D A G D A [Verse 3]
A
Let me tell you something, let me tell you true

A
What's right for me might not be right for you

A
Well, you live your way, I'll live mine

A
And I hope you're happy all the time but

D
I pick cotton down on the Dixie line

D
I work all day tryin' to make a dime

A
But that's all right, that's OK by me

A
'Cause that's the way that it was supposed to be
[Chorus]
G                    D
Big city, hard times never bother me heeeee

A
I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be

A
Let me tell ya, ... I said

G                   D
Big city, hard times never bother me heeeee

A
I'm a country boy, I'm as happy as I can be

A
Ooh, that's my way, baby

A
I don't want you to even tell me about the big city

A
I don't want to read about it...
