Iowa Legalizes Gay Marriage

In honor of the Iowa Supreme Court's April 2009 legalization of Gay Marriage.

Thank God I'm a Country Boy
(Original Lyrics by John Denver)

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back

Since folks in Des Moines finally cut me some slack

It's early work guys, early in the sack

Thank God I'm a country boy



Well my personal choices sure never did no one harm

Fraternizin' with the men folk and workin' on the farm

Us gays are filled with an easy country charm

Thank God I'm a country boy



Well it ain't Fire Island out here in the middle

It sure ain't like Frisco our community's little

Why we're out here is a funny funny riddle

Thank God I'm a country boy



When the work's all done and the sun's setting low

We put on a little Streisand and have a little show

The neighbors like Limbaugh so we keep it kinda low

Thank God I'm a country boy



I'd sing them old showtunes all day if I could

But the church and Pastor wouldn't take it very good

So I Salsa when I could, work when I should

Thank God I'm a country boy



Well it ain't Fire Island out here in the middle

It sure ain't like Frisco our community's little

Why we're out here is a funny funny riddle

Thank God I'm a country boy



Well I wouldn't trade my life for cellphones and suits

I never was one of those closeted fools

I'd rather have my disco and my farmin tools

Thank God I'm a country boy



Yeah, city gays partyin' in limousines

A lotta sad people thinin' that's the only scene

Son let me show you exactly what I mean

Thank God I'm a country boy



Well it ain't Fire Island out here in the middle

It sure ain't like Frisco our community's little

Why we're out here is a funny funny riddle

Thank God I'm a country boy



We'll I'll sing those old showtunes till the day I die

Since now I have my own man and he's forever by my side

Say partners for life and say it loud with pride

Thank God I'm a country boy



Those farm boys taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle

Taught me how to work and play showtunes on the fiddle

Taught me how to love and how to give just a little

Thank God I'm a country boy



Well it ain't Fire Island out here in the middle

It sure ain't like Frisco our community's little

Why we're out here is a funny funny riddle'

Thank God I'm a country boy
