Buck Owens

Alvis Edgar Owens, Jr. (August 12, 1929 – March 25, 2006), better known as Buck Owens, was an American singer and guitarist who had 21 No. 1 hits on the Billboard country music charts with his band, the Buckaroos. They pioneered what came to be called the Bakersfield sound—a reference to Bakersfield, California, the city Owens called home and from which he drew inspiration for what he preferred to call American music. more »

Well everybody got something on their mind that they like to talk about
Well I got something that I'm proud of and it's a wood choppin' about
Oh well I don't want a string of big fine cars and I don't want no fancy yacht
Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got
I got a girl with two brown eyes and arms to hold me tight
And I don't care if the sun don't shine and daylight turns to night
Well if a dollar bill is not worth a dime and if the whole world goes to pot
Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got

Well I'll not worry about the world and what it's a comin' to
Or if old Lady Jones has got a new hat or if the brown had turned to blue
Well if the London Bridge is a fallen down or if old Big Ben has stopped
Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got
I got a girl with two brown eyes...
Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got
