Reg Lindsay Good Old Country Picking Lyrics:
[Whistling]
Country songs and good time singin'
It's the life I've chose for me
Though it ain't no bed of roses,
It's the way I want to be.

Tookin' jobs just washing dishes
The only work I've found
On the backroads to the highway,
I move from town to town.

Well my daddy tried to tell me
The way that it could be,
With tears and disappointments,
I would pay for being free.

Yes, country songs and good old singin'
It's the life I've chose for me
Though it ain't no bed of roses,
It's the way I want to be.

[Instrumental]

I don't wanna make no fortune
Don't wanna wheel or deal,
Good songs will be my trademark
And I'll never beg or steal.

Now I'll work to earn a livin'
In any back street bar,
Just as long as I can sing my songs
And play this old guitar.

Yes, country songs and good time singin'
It's the life I've chose for me,
Though it ain't no bed of roses,
It's the way I want to be.

Yes, country songs and good time singin'
It's the life I've chose for me,
Though it ain't no bed of roses,
It's the way I want to be.
