David Allan Coe - If that aint country

THE ^DOLD MAN WAS COVERED WITH TATOOS AND SCARS, HE ^GGOT SOME IN PRISON AND SOME IN THE BARS. THE ^AREST HE GOT WORKIN' ON OLD JUNK CARS IN THE ^DDAY TIME. THEY ^DLOOKED LIKE TOMBSTONES IN OUR YARD AND I ^GNEVER SEEN HIM WHEN HE ^AWASN'T TIRED AND ^DMEAN.

HE ^DSOLD USED PARTS TO MAKE ENDS MEET, ^GCOVERED WITH GREASE FROM HIS HEAD TO HIS FEET, ^ACUSSIN' THE SUN AND THE TEXAS HEAT, AND THE ^DSKEETERS. AND THE ^DNEIGHBORS SAY WE LIVE LIKE HICKS, BUT THEY ^GBRING THEIR CARS FOR ^APA TO FIX ^DANYHOW.

HE WAS ^DVET'RIN PROUD, TRIED AND TRUE, HE'D ^GFIGHT TILL HIS HEART WAS BLACK AND BLUE, ^ADIDN'T KNOW HOW HE'D MAKE IT THROUGH, THE ^DHARD TIMES. ^DBOUGHT OUR HOUSE ON THE G.I. BILL, BUT IT ^GWASN'T WORTH ALL HE ^AHAD TO KILL TO ^DGET IT.

HE DRANK ^DPEARL IN A CAN AND JACK DANIELS BLACK, ^GCHEWED TOBACCO FROM A MAIL-POUCH SACK, ^AHAD AN OLD DOG THAT WAS TRAINED TO ATTACK, ^DSOMETIMES. ^DHE'D GET DRUNK AND MEAN AS A RATTLESNAKE, AND THERE ^GWASN'T TOO MUCH THAT ^AHE WOULD TAKE, FROM A ^DSTRANGER.

THERE WAS ^G13 KIDS AND A ^ABUNCH OF DOGS, ^DHOUSE FULL OF CHICKENS AND A ^GYARD FULL OF HOGS, ^ASPENT THE SUMMERTIME ^GCUTTIN' UP LOGS FOR THE ^DWINTER. ^GTRYIN' LIKE THE DEVIL TO ^AFIND THE LORD, AND ^DWORKIN' LIKE A N---- FOR MY R^GOOM AND BOARD, ^ACOAL BURNIN' STOVE, NO NATURAL GAS, AND IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ^DASS.

^DIF THAT AIN'T ^GCOUNTRY, IT'LL HAIRLIP THE ^DPOPE, IF THAT AIN'T ^GCOUNT^ARY, IT'S A DAMN GOOD ^DJOKE. I'VE SEEN THE ^GGRAND 'OLE ^AOPRY AND ^DI MET JOHNNY ^GCASH, AND IF THAT AIN'T ^ACOUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ^DASS.

WELL, ^DMOMMA SOLD EGGS AT THE GROCERY STORE, MY ^GOLDEST SISTER WAS A FIRST-RATE WHORE, ^ADAD SAYS SHE CAN'T COME HOME ANY MORE, AND HE ^DMEANS IT. ^DMA JUST SITS AND KEEPS HER SILENCE ^GSISTER SHE LEFT 'CAUSE ^ADAD GOT VIOLENT, AND SHE ^DKNOWS IT.

^DMOMMA SHE'S OLD, FAR BEYOND HER TIME, FROM ^GCHOPPIN' TOBACCO AND I SEEN HER CRYIN WHEN ^ABLOOD STARTED FLOWIN' FROM HER CALLOUSED HANDS, AND IT ^DHURT ME. ^DBUT SHE'D JUST KEEP WORKIN' TRYIN' TO HELP THE OLD MAN, FROM THE ^GEND OF ONE ROW AND ^ABACK AGAIN,LIKE ^DALWAYS.

SHE'D ^DBEEN THROUGH HELL SINCE JUNIOR WENT TO JAIL, AND WHEN THE ^GLIGHTS GO OUT SHE AIN'T NEVER FAILED, TO ^AGET DOWN ON HER KNEES AND PRAY, 'CAUSE SHE ^DLOVES HIM. ^DSHE TOLD ALL THE NEIGHBORS HE WAS OFF IN THE WAR, ^GFIGHTIN' FOR FREEDOM, HE'S ^AGOOD TO THE CORE, AND SHE'S ^DPROUD.

^DOUR PLACE WAS A GRAVEYARD FOR AUTOMOBILES, AT THE ^GEND OF THE PORCH WERE 4 STACKS OF WHEELS, AND ^ATIRES FOR SALE FOR A DOLLAR OR TWO, ^DCASH.

THERE WERE^G 50 HOLES IN THAT ^AOLD TIN ROOF. ^DME AND MY FAMILY WAS ^GLIVIN' PROOF, OF ^APEOPLE WHO FORGOT ABOUT POOR WHITE TRASH AND IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY I'LL KISS YOUR ^DASS.

^DIF THAT AIN'T ^GCOUNTRY, IT'LL HAIRLIP THE ^DPOPE, IF THAT AIN'T ^GCOUNT^ARY, IT'S A DAMN GOOD ^DJOKE. I'VE SEEN THE ^GGRAND 'OLE ^AOPRY AND ^DI MET JOHNNY ^GCASH, AND IF THAT AIN'T ^ACOUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ^DASS.
