Verse 1:

                                      
I got a crib full of corn, and a turnin' plow
                                  
But the grounds to wet for the hopper now.
                           
Got a cultivator and a double tree
                             
A leather line for the hull and gee
                                    
Let the thunder roll and the lighting flash
                           
I'm doing alright for Country Trash

Verse 2:

                              
I'm saving up dimes for a rainy day
                       
I got about a dollar laid away
                                        
The winds from the south and the fishings good
                              
Got a pot belly stove a quart of wood
                             
Mama turns the left-overs into hash
                           
I'm doing alright for Country Trash

Verse 3:

                            
I got a machina and a hunting dog
                          
A cap I ordered from the catolog
                               
A good tall tree that shades the yard
                            
A good fat sow for the winters lard
                                    
Let the thunder roll and the lighting flash 
                           
I'm doing alright for Country Trash

Verse 4:

                                       
Well there's not much new ground left to plow 
                           
And the crops need fertilizer 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

Ending:

                            
God's got a heaven for Country Trash 
                               
I'll be doing alright for Country Trash
