If That Ain't Country - Wendel Adkins[00:00:00]
The old man was covered with tattoos and scars[00:00:05]
He got some in prison and others in bars[00:00:08]
The rest he got workin' on[00:00:11]
Old junk cars in the daytime[00:00:12]
They looked like tombstones in our yard[00:00:16]
And I never seen him[00:00:19]
When he wasn't tired and mean[00:00:20]
He drank pearl in a can[00:00:24]
And Jack Daniels black[00:00:26]
Chewed tobacco from a mail pouch sack[00:00:28]
Had an old dog[00:00:30]
That was trained to attack sometimes[00:00:31]
He was veteran proud tried and true;[00:00:35]
He'd fought till his heart was black and blue [00:00:38]
Didn't know how he'd made it through[00:00:41]
The hard times [00:00:44]
He bought our house on the G I Bill[00:00:46]
But it wasn't worth all he had to kill[00:00:49]
To get it [00:00:52]
Now our place was a graveyard for automobiles [00:00:54]
At the end of the porch[00:00:57]
There was four stacks of wheels[00:00:58]
And tires for sale for a dollar or two[00:01:00]
Cash [00:01:02]
There were thirteen kids and a bunch of dogs[00:01:04]
A house full of chickens and a yard full of hogs[00:01:08]
I spent the summertime cuttin' up logs for the winter[00:01:11]
Tryin' like the devil to find the Lord[00:01:16]
Workin' like a nigger for my room and board[00:01:18]
Coal-burin' stove no natural gas[00:01:21]
If that ain't country I'll kiss your ass[00:01:24]
If that ain't country it'll hairlip the pope[00:01:28]
If that ain't country it's a damn good joke[00:01:33]
I've seen the Grand Ole Opry[00:01:38]
And I've met Johnny Cash[00:01:41]
If that ain't country I'll kiss your ass[00:01:46]
Mama sells eggs at a grocery store[00:02:06]
My oldest sister is a first-rate whore[00:02:08]
Dad says she can't come home anymore[00:02:11]
And he means it[00:02:13]
Mama she's old far beyond her time[00:02:17]
From chopping tobacco and I've seen her cryin'[00:02:19]
When blood started flowin' from[00:02:21]
Her calloused hand and it hurt me[00:02:23]
Because she loves him [00:02:27]
Told all the neighbors he off in the war[00:02:28]
Fightin' for freedom and he's good to the core[00:02:30]
And she's proud [00:02:32]
There was fifty holes in an old tin roof[00:02:35]
Me and my family we was livin' proof[00:02:38]
The people who forgot about poor white trash[00:02:40]
And if that ain't country I'll kiss your ass[00:02:43]
If that ain't country it'll hairlip the pope[00:02:47]
If that ain't country it's a damn good joke[00:02:52]
I've seen the Grand Ole Opry[00:02:57]
And I've met Johnny Cash[00:03:00]
If that ain't country I'll kiss your ass[00:03:06]
I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes[00:03:12]
Concerning the great speckled bird[00:03:17]
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels[00:03:22]
And went back to the wild side of life[00:03:27]
