Karaoké Longhaired Redneck David Allan Coe

Country deejays knows that I'm an outlaw

They'd never come to see me in this dive

Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughin' at the hippies who are prayin' they'll get outta here alive

The loud mouth in the corner's gettin' to me

Talkin' 'bout my earrings and my hair

I guess he ain't read the signs that say I been to prison

Someone ought to warn him 'fore I knock him off his chair

'Cos my long hair just can't cover up my red neck

I've won every fight

I've ever fought

Hey I don't need some turkey tellin' me that I ain't country

And sayin' I ain't worth the damned ol' ticket that he bought

'Cos I can sing all them songs about Texas and I still do all the sad ones that I know

They tell me

I look like Merle Haggard and sound a lot like David Allen Coe

And the bar maid in the last town that we played in knew the words to every song

I'd wrote

She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album just about the time the jukebox broke

Yeah Johnny Cash helped me get out of prison long before Rodriguez stole that goat

I've been the Rhinestone Cowboy for so long I can't remember

And I can do you every song

Hank Williams ever wrote

And I can sing all them songs about Texas

And I still do all the sad ones that I know

I can't help it

I look like Merle Haggard

And I sound a lot like David Allen Coe

But the country deejays all think I'm an outlaw and they'd never come to see me in this dive

Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughin' at the hippies who are prayin' they'll get out of here alive

The loud mouth in the corner's gettin' to me

Talkin' 'bout my earrings and my hair
