Longhaired Redneck
by David Allan Coe and Jimmy Rabbitt
as performed by David Allan Coe from the album Longhaired Redneck
CCountry deejays Dknows that I'm an Goutlaw
They'd never come to see me in this Cdive
G F#/D Em
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughing at the hippies
Who are Apraying they'll get out of here Dalive
The Cloudmouth in the Dcorner's gettin' Gto me
Talkin' 'bout my earrings and my Chair
G F#/D Em
I guess he ain't read the signs that say I've been to prison
ASomeone ought to warn him 'fore I Dknock him off his chair
'Cause my Clong hair just can't Dcover up my Gredneck
I've won every fight I've ever Cfought
And I don't need some turkey
G F#/D Em
Tellin' me that I ain't country
ASayin' I ain't worth the damned ol' Dticket that he bought
'Cause I can Gsing all them songs about CTexas
DAnd I still do all the sad ones that I Gknow
They tell me I look like Merle CHaggard
And Asound a lot like David Allan DCoe
Second Verse:
And 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
I've been the rhinestone cowboy for so long I can't remember
And I can do you 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 can't help it, I look like Merle Haggard
I sound a lot like David Allan Coe
Third Verse (outro):
But the country DJ's all think I'm an outlaw
And they'd never come to see me in this dive
Where bikers stare at cowboys, who are laughing at the hippies,
Who are prayin' they'll get out of here alive
The loudmouth in the corner's gettin' to me
Talkin' 'bout my earrings and my hair...
