Well, city boys in convertibles
With slicked back hair and gold
Watch a mountain man walk down the street
And snicker at his clothes
But when the chips are down
And their fancy world gives way
They're gonna find out who's gonna survive
They've only seen a deer
On a highway road sign
And a turkey on a table
With cranberry wine
They never went squirrel huntin'
Or pulled in that line
They're gonna find out boy can survive
They're gonna find out boy can survive
When that big city falls apart
And it could happen, you bet your life
They're gonna find out boy can survive
They laugh at my old shotgun
And the deer I got hangin' in the shed
But they sure came a'knockin'
When their water lines went dead
And I gave 'em a drink
To share with their neighbors and wives
And they found out boy can survive
They found out boy can survive
When that big city falls apart
And it could happen, you bet your life
They're gonna find out boy can survive
Boy can survive
They will learn who's got grit
Findin' out who the men is
And who's full of (bleep)
Boy can survive
They're gonna bow and kneel at our fire
When the big city falls apart
And it could happen, you bet your life
They're gonna find out boy can survive
