If That Ain't Country LRC歌词

[00:00.00]

[00:14.29]Well I'm just an old man now covered with scars

[00:18.25]Most of them I got fightin' in them redneck bars

[00:22.23]And A bunch of brand new tattoos that Squench put on me

[00:25.42]

[00:29.07]He covered up the ones I'd gotten years ago

[00:32.69]Back in prison when I was just Dave Coe

[00:36.47]And I wasn't famous then and I wasn't free

[00:39.83]

[00:43.39]You know I grew up in a three room run down shack

[00:47.18]At the foot of the hill by the railroad track

[00:50.31]Where decent folks don't go when the sun goes down

[00:53.74]

[00:56.91]My daddy worked at the Goodyear tire and rubber company

[00:59.62]And he worked on cars

[01:01.42]My momma went to church and my daddy went to bars

[01:05.02]Most people just called it the hillbilly part of town

[01:07.89]

[01:11.31]I had a '55 Chevy when I was fifteen

[01:15.30]I painted it red cause I was still green

[01:19.31]Hell I couldn't even afford to buy it gas

[01:21.91]

[01:24.72]Had a .410 rifle and a bowie knife to

[01:28.29]Red Man tobacco that I liked to chew

[01:31.57]And we'd count the cars when the trains went past

[01:34.77]And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass

[01:37.51]

[01:39.63]If that ain't country it'll hair lip the pope

[01:45.48]If that ain't country it's a damn good joke

[01:51.62]I've been on the Grand Ol Opry and I know Johnny Cash

[02:01.71]And if he ain't country i'll kiss your ass

[02:06.21]

[02:12.24]You know one of my sisters was a lady of the night

[02:15.65]Then one day she saw the light

[02:19.06]Now she don't do those things that she used to do

[02:21.68]

[02:25.49]She never made the funeral when my daddy died

[02:29.01]I said I'd forgive her but I guess I lied

[02:32.79]Cause there ain't no way to hide the way that I feel

[02:35.63]

[02:39.32]Me and my brothers took our sister Diane

[02:41.94]Down to the funeral home to see the old man

[02:45.81]Jimmy was the oldest and Diane she was the youngest one

[02:48.98]

[02:52.51]Jack and Ray was in the middle and then there was me

[02:56.05]And I'm the one that turned 23

[02:58.50]And grew up to be that yankee's rebel son

[03:02.05]

[03:05.56]Times are changing I heard Bob Dylan say

[03:08.55]It's been fifteen years now since my father passed away

[03:13.06]But I can still picture him in his overalls

[03:15.80]

[03:19.14]Standin' around the house where he made his deals

[03:22.71]Around the porch there was a bunch of old wheels

[03:26.02]And some used Harley Davidson parts that he sold for cash

[03:29.47]

[03:32.29]There was fifty holes in an old tin roof

[03:36.16]Me and my family was livin' proof

[03:39.19]Everybody called us old poor white trash

[03:42.28]And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass

[03:45.05]

[03:46.91]If that ain't country it'll hair lip the pope

[03:52.69]If that ain't country it's a damn good joke

[03:58.58]I've been on the Grand Ol Opry and I know Johnny Cash

[04:08.48]And if he ain't country i'll kiss your ass

[04:13.15]

[04:14.52]And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass

[04:20.60]And if that ain't country i'll kiss your ass

[04:26.80]
