David Allen Coe - Long Haired Redneck lyrics
rate meCountry Dj's knows that I'm an outlaw
They'd never come to see me in this dive
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughing at the hippies
Who are praying they'll get out of here alive
Loudmouth in the corner's gettin to me
talkin bout my earrings and my hair
I guess he aint read the signs that say I've been to prison
Someone better warn him 'for I knock him off his chair
Cuz my long hair just can't cover up my redneck
I've won every fight I've ever fought
I don't need some turkey tellin me that I ain't country
Sayin I aint worth the damned old ticket that he bought
Cuz I can sing all them songs about Texas
And I still do all the sad ones that I know
They tell me I look like Merle Haggard
and sound alot like David Allen Coe
The barmaid in the last town that we played in
knew the words to every song I wrote
She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album
just about the time the jukebox broke
Yeah Johnny Cash helped me get out of prison
Long before Rodriguez stole that goat
Ive been the rhinestone cowboy for so long I cant remember
and I can do ya every song Hank Williams ever wrote
And I can sing all them songs about Texas
And I still do all the sad ones that I know
I cant help it I look like Merle Haggard
and sound alot like David Allen Coe
These country Dj's all think I'm an outlaw
They'd never come to see me in this dive
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughing at the hippies
Who are praying they'll get out of here alive
Loudmouth in the corner's gettin to me
talkin bout my earrings and my hair
(fades out)
