I just wanted to say that I thank all you fine folks out there who give this blog a look every now and then. Lately I've been thinking about Mr. Cash's humble optimism and my own life. From growing up in a trailer around North Carolina and now living in a smaller place yet on the other side of the world at the start of a new year. This is as close as I'll get to a tune of my own.

I got a crib of my own and some steady work

Been subbin out steaks for thin sliced pork

And the people round town are nice enough

Got their signs covered up with cartoon stuff

Well, let the bikes roll on and the cameras flash

I`m doing all right for country trash

Pretty girls walkin round bout to break my neck

Learned a few words last time I checked

Ery now and then might see a shrine

Check out big Buddha and drink rice wine

And momma sent a box with a nice food stash

I`m doing all right for country trash

I got a thick loan that smarts real good

and four Pachinko parlors in my neighborhood

The govments got my back if I get too sick

and the time flies by pretty quick

Well, let the bikes roll on and the cameras flash

I`m doing all right for country trash

I only work 30 hours for decent pay

Even got a few hundred saved away

But The city`s all gray and I miss the green

and all the folks back home round the Blue Ridge scene

And it`s a strange place now that I`m here at last

But I`m doing all right for country trash

I`m doing all right for country trash
