David Allan Coe – If That Ain't Country Lyrics

The one-time human being was covered alongside tattoos in addition to scars
He got roughly inwards prison theater in addition to others inwards bars
The residual he got working' on one-time junk cars
inwards the daytime
They looked similar tombstones inwards our yard
And I never seen him when he wasn't tired in addition to mean
He sold used parts to brand ends meet
Covered alongside grease from his caput to his feet
Cussing' the travail in addition to the texas rut in addition to skeeterz
And the neighbors said nosotros lived similar hicks
But they brung their cars for pa to develop anyhow

Now our house was a graveyard for automobiles
At the halt of the porch in that place was 4 stacks of wheels
And tires for sale for a dollar or 2 cash
There was 50 holes inwards an one-time forcefulness out roof
Me in addition to my household unit of measurement nosotros was living' proof
The people who forgot most pitiful white trash
And if that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass
If that ain't country, it'll pilus lip the pope
If that ain't country, it's a damn expert joke
I've seen the grand ole opry,
And I've met johnny cash
If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass
