| [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] |
