If That Ain't Country - David Allan Coe[00:00:01]

The old man was covered with tattoos and scars[00:00:04]

He got some in prison and others in bars[00:00:07]

The rest he got workin' on old junk cars in the daytime[00:00:11]

They looked like tombstones in our yard[00:00:16]

And I never seen him when he wasn't tired and mean[00:00:19]

He sold used parts to make ends meet[00:00:25]

Covered with grease from his head to his feet[00:00:28]

Cussin' the sweat and the Texas heat and mosquiters[00:00:31]

And the neighbors said we lived like hicks[00:00:36]

But they brung their cars for pa to fix anyhow[00:00:39]

He was veteran-proud tried and true[00:00:44]

He'd fought till his heart was black and blue[00:00:47]

Didn't know how he'd made it through the hard times[00:00:50]

He bought our house on the GI Bill[00:00:55]

But it wasn't worth all he had to kill to git it[00:00:58]

He drank pearl in a can and Jack Daniels black[00:01:02]

Chewed tobacco from a mail pouch sack[00:01:06]

Had an old dog that was trained to attack sometimes[00:01:08]

He'd get drunk and mean as a rattlesnake[00:01:14]

And there wasn't too much that he would take from a stranger[00:01:16]

There were thirteen kids and a bunch of dogs[00:01:21]

A house full of chickens and a yard full of hogs[00:01:24]

I spent the summertime cuttin' up logs for the winter[00:01:27]

Tryin' like the devil to find the Lord[00:01:32]

Workin' like a nigger for my room and board[00:01:35]

Coal-burin' stove no natural gas if that ain't country I'll kiss your ass[00:01:38]

If that ain't country it'll hairlip the pope[00:01:44]

If that ain't country it's a damn good joke[00:01:50]

I've seen the Grand Ole Opry and I've met Johnny Cash[00:01:55]

If that ain't country I'll kiss your ass[00:02:02]

Mama sells eggs at a grocery store[00:02:18]

My oldest sister is a first-rate whore[00:02:21]

Dad says she can't come home anymore and he means it[00:02:24]

Ma just sits and keeps her silence[00:02:29]

Sister she left cause dad got violent and he knows it[00:02:31]

Mama she's old far beyond her time[00:02:36]

From chopping tobacco and I've seen her cryin'[00:02:39]

When blood started flowin' from her calloused hand and it hurt me[00:02:42]

She'd just keep workin' tryin' to help the old man[00:02:47]

To the end of one row and back again like always[00:02:49]

She's been through hell since junior went to jail[00:02:55]

When the lights go out she ain't never failed[00:02:57]

To get down on her knees and pray because she loves him[00:03:00]

Told all the neighbors he was off in the war[00:03:05]

Fightin' for freedom he's good to the core and she's proud[00:03:08]

Now our place was a graveyard for automobiles[00:03:13]

At the end of the porch there was four stacks of wheels[00:03:16]

And tires for sale for a dollar or two cash[00:03:19]

There was fifty holes in an old tin roof[00:03:23]

Me and my family we was livin' proof[00:03:26]

The people who forgot about poor white trash[00:03:29]

And if that ain't country I'll kiss your ass[00:03:32]

If that ain't country it'll hairlip the pope[00:03:36]

If that ain't country it's a damn good joke[00:03:41]

I've seen the Grand Ole Opry and I've met Johnny Cash[00:03:46]

If that ain't country I'll kiss your ass[00:03:53]

I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes concerning the great speckled bird[00:03:58]

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels and went back to the wild side of life[00:04:08]
