Well it's a great life if you don't weaken
But who wants to be strong

Well I don't guess I'll ever make a million
I just want enough to get by

Like a checking account in two or three banks
And a yellow Cadillac to drive

To go sporting around with two or three red-heads
Or maybe take a blond along
It's a great life if you don't weaken
But who wants to be strong

Just gimme my money in cold hard cash
And get my guitar in tune

And get me a date with a pretty little thing
And I'll be barking at the moon

Don't want more than anybody else
Just takes more for me to get along
It's a great life if you don't weaken
But who wants to be strong

It's the simple things in life that really matters
And I'm a pretty simple guy
Just give me a house a swimming pool
And a little sport plane to fly

It don't take much to satisfy me
I'm a country boy trying to get along
It's a great life if you don't weaken
But w-ho wants to be strong
