If That Ain't Country (Part 2) |
| Well I’m just an old man now covered with scars |
| Most of them I got fightin' in them redneck bars |
| And A bunch of brand new tattoos that Squench put on me |
| He covered up the ones I’d gotten years ago |
| Back in prison when I was just Dave Coe |
| And I wasn’t famous then and I wasn’t free |
| You know I grew up in a three room run down shack |
| At the foot of the hill by the railroad track |
| Where decent folks don’t go when the sun goes down |
| My daddy worked at the Goodyear tire and rubber company |
| And he worked on cars |
| My momma went to church and my daddy went to bars |
| Most people just called it the hillbilly part of town |
| I had a '55 Chevy when I was fifteen |
| I painted it red cause I was still green |
| Hell I couldn’t even afford to buy it gas |
| Had a .410 rifle and a bowie knife to |
| Red Man tobacco that I liked to chew |
| And we’d count the cars when the trains went past |
| And if that ain’t country I’ll kiss your ass |
| If that ain’t country it’ll hair lip the pope |
| If that ain’t country it’s a damn good joke |
| I’ve been on the Grand Ol Opry and I know Johnny Cash |
| And if he ain’t country I’ll kiss your ass |
| You know one of my sisters was a lady of the night |
| Then one day she saw the light |
| Now she don’t do those things that she used to do |
| She never made the funeral when my daddy died |
| I said I’d forgive her but I guess I lied |
| Cause there ain’t no way to hide the way that I feel |
| Me and my brothers took our sister Diane |
| Down to the funeral home to see the old man |
| Jimmy was the oldest and Diane she was the youngest one |
| Jack and Ray was in the middle and then there was me |
| And I’m the one that turned 23 |
| And grew up to be that yankee’s rebel son |
| Times are changing I heard Bob Dylan say |
| It’s been fifteen now since my father passed away |
| But I can still picture him in his overalls |
| Standin' around the house where he made his deals |
| Around the porch there was a bunch of old wheels |
| And some used Harley Davidson parts that he sold for cash |
| There was fifty holes in an old tin roof |
| Me and my family was livin' proof |
| Everybody called us old poor white trash |
| And if that ain’t country I’ll kiss your ass |
| If that ain’t country it’ll hair lip the pope |
| If that ain’t country it’s a damn good joke |
| I’ve been on the Grand Ol Opry and I know Johnny Cash |
| And if he ain’t country I’ll kiss your ass |
| And if that ain’t country I’ll kiss your ass |
| And if that ain’t country I’ll kiss your ass |
