[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]
