David Allan Coe - Longhaired redneck

Co^Cuntry DJ's kn^Dows that I'm an ou^Gtlaw. They'd ^Gnever come to see me in this ^Cdive. Where ^Cbikers stare at cowboys who are ^Glaughing at the ^Emhippies. Who are ^Amprayn' they'll get out of her a^Dlive.

The ^Cloud mouth in ^Dthe corners gettin ^Gto me. ^GTalking about my earrings and my ^Chair. ^CI guess he ain't read the sign that ^Gsays I've been to ^Emprison. ^AmSomeone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his^D chair.

^CCause my long hair ju^Dst can't cover up my ^Gredneck. ^GI've won every fight I've ever ^Cfought. ^CAnd I don't need some turkey telling ^Gme that I ain't c^Emountry. ^AmSayin I aint worth a damn on, ticket that^D he bought.

^GCause I can sing all those songs about ^CTexas, ^DAnd I still do all the sad one's that I ^Gknow. ^D They ^Gtell me, I look like Merle ^CHaggard, And ^Amsound a lot like David Allen ^DCoe.

And the ^Cbarmaid in th^De last town that we^G played in. ^GKnew the words to every song I ^Cwrote. ^CShe said Jimmy Rabbit turned her ^Gon to my last^Em album. ^AmJust about the time the jukebox br^Doke.

^CYa Jonny Cash helped ^Dme get out of pr^Gison. ^GLong before Rodriquez stole that g^Coat. I've ^Cbeen a Rhinestone Cowboy for so^G long I can't re^Emmember. ^AmAnd I can do you every song Hank ^DWilliams ever wrote.

^GCause I can sing all those songs about ^CTexas, ^DAnd I still do all the sad one's that I ^Gknow. ^{D G}They tell me, I look like Merle ^CHaggard, And ^Amsound alot like David Allen C^Doe.

^CCountry DJ's ^Dknows that I'm an ^Goutlaw. ^GThey'd never come to see me in this ^Cdive. ^CWhere bikers stare at cowboys who are ^Glaughen' at the h^Emippies. ^AmWho are prayin' they'll get out of here^D alive.

The ^Cloud mouth in ^Dthe corners gettin ^Gto me. ^GTalking about my earrings and my ^Chair. ^CI guess he ain't read the sign that ^Gsays I've been to ^Emprison. ^AmSomeone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his^D chair. (fade out)
