I get up in the mornin' with a cock-a-doodle-do
I get myself together if and when I chose
I'm just buckin' time, without a reason or rhyme
Oh, what a wonderful way to spend a carefree country day
I got to have it that way
I best get all my chores done, got some friends a-comin' by
That's part of country livin' in, just tryin' to get by
I'm just buckin' time, without a reason or rhyme
Oh, what a wonderful way to spend a carefree country day
I got to have it that way
I make myself a livin' off a-haulin' on junk
The wagon that I'm drivin' came from happy worker's dump
I'm just buckin' time, without a reason or rhyme
Oh, what a wonderful way to spend a carefree country day
Oh, yeah, I got to have it that way
