David Allan Coe - If That Ain't Country (Part 2) |
[00:-1.00] |
|
[00:00.00] |
|
[00:14.29] |
Well I'm just an old man now covered with scars |
[00:18.25] |
Most of them I got fightin' in them redneck bars |
[00:22.23] |
And A bunch of brand new tattoos that Squench put on me |
[00:25.42] |
|
[00:29.07] |
He covered up the ones I'd gotten years ago |
[00:32.69] |
Back in prison when I was just Dave Coe |
[00:36.47] |
And I wasn't famous then and I wasn't free |
[00:39.83] |
|
[00:43.39] |
You know I grew up in a three room run down shack |
[00:47.18] |
At the foot of the hill by the railroad track |
[00:50.31] |
Where decent folks don't go when the sun goes down |
[00:53.74] |
|
[00:56.91] |
My daddy worked at the Goodyear tire and rubber company |
[00:59.62] |
And he worked on cars |
[01:01.42] |
My momma went to church and my daddy went to bars |
[01:05.02] |
Most people just called it the hillbilly part of town |
[01:07.89] |
|
[01:11.31] |
I had a '55 Chevy when I was fifteen |
[01:15.30] |
I painted it red cause I was still green |
[01:19.31] |
Hell I couldn't even afford to buy it gas |
[01:21.91] |
|
[01:24.72] |
Had a .410 rifle and a bowie knife to |
[01:28.29] |
Red Man tobacco that I liked to chew |
[01:31.57] |
And we'd count the cars when the trains went past |
[01:34.77] |
And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass |
[01:37.51] |
|
[01:39.63] |
If that ain't country it'll hair lip the pope |
[01:45.48] |
If that ain't country it's a damn good joke |
[01:51.62] |
I've been on the Grand Ol Opry and I know Johnny Cash |
[02:01.71] |
And if he ain't country i'll kiss your ass |
[02:06.21] |
|
[02:12.24] |
You know one of my sisters was a lady of the night |
[02:15.65] |
Then one day she saw the light |
[02:19.06] |
Now she don't do those things that she used to do |
[02:21.68] |
|
[02:25.49] |
She never made the funeral when my daddy died |
[02:29.01] |
I said I'd forgive her but I guess I lied |
[02:32.79] |
Cause there ain't no way to hide the way that I feel |
[02:35.63] |
|
[02:39.32] |
Me and my brothers took our sister Diane |
[02:41.94] |
Down to the funeral home to see the old man |
[02:45.81] |
Jimmy was the oldest and Diane she was the youngest one |
[02:48.98] |
|
[02:52.51] |
Jack and Ray was in the middle and then there was me |
[02:56.05] |
And I'm the one that turned 23 |
[02:58.50] |
And grew up to be that yankee's rebel son |
[03:02.05] |
|
[03:05.56] |
Times are changing I heard Bob Dylan say |
[03:08.55] |
It's been fifteen years now since my father passed away |
[03:13.06] |
But I can still picture him in his overalls |
[03:15.80] |
|
[03:19.14] |
Standin' around the house where he made his deals |
[03:22.71] |
Around the porch there was a bunch of old wheels |
[03:26.02] |
And some used Harley Davidson parts that he sold for cash |
[03:29.47] |
|
[03:32.29] |
There was fifty holes in an old tin roof |
[03:36.16] |
Me and my family was livin' proof |
[03:39.19] |
Everybody called us old poor white trash |
[03:42.28] |
And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass |
[03:45.05] |
|
[03:46.91] |
If that ain't country it'll hair lip the pope |
[03:52.69] |
If that ain't country it's a damn good joke |
[03:58.58] |
I've been on the Grand Ol Opry and I know Johnny Cash |
[04:08.48] |
And if he ain't country i'll kiss your ass |
[04:13.15] |
|
[04:14.52] |
And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass |
[04:20.60] |
And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass |
[04:26.80] |
