A DUMB OLE COUNTRY BOY
I'm just a dumb ole country boy,
That ain't so very smart;
And when I talk I get mixed up,
My gears are hard to start:
It seems I don't have many brains,
Like other folks I know;
And when it comes to s'ciety,
My dumbness there I show.
I found it don't take brains, my friend,
The best in life to gain;
It's not your wealth or what you are;
Prestige you might obtain:
It only takes just simple faith,
Eternal life to find:
No matter who or where you stand,
There's grace for all mankind.
I went down to the jailhouse once
To witness for the Lord:
I told them how the Lord saved me--
They sure looked mighty bored:
They nudged each other and they smiled,
They thought that I was dumb:
But they stayed in and I walked out,
When leavin' time had come.
I'm still a dumb ole country boy,
I hope I'll always be;
Just dumb enough to trust the Lord
For all eternity:
And so I'll just keep travelin' on,
No brains and not too smart:
I'm just a dumb ole country boy,
With Jesus in my heart.
