David Allan Coe

If That Ain't Country (Part 2)

Capo1

A D

Well I’m just an old man now, was with scars

E

Most of them I got fightin’ in them redneck bars

A

And a bunch of new tattoos Squench put on me

D

Why he covered up the ones I got years ago

E

Back in prison when I was just Dave Coe

A

And I wasn’t famous then, and I wasn’t free

D

Well I grew up in a three room run down shack

E

At the foot of a mountain by a railroad track

A

Where decent folk don’t go when the sun goes down

D

Now daddy work the coal mines and he worked on cars

E

And momma’d go to church and daddy’d go to bars

A

An most folks just called it the hillbilly part of town

A D

We had a 55 Chevy when I was fifteen

E

I painted it red but I was still green

A

Shit I couldn’t even afford to buy gas

D E

I had a 410 rifle and a Bowie knife too

A D

Redman tobacco that I liked to chew

E

And we’d count the car when the train when past

A

And If That Ain’t Country, I’ll Kiss Your Ass

Chorus:

D E A

If That Ain’t Country, it'll hair lip the pope

D E A

If That Ain’t Country, it's a damn good joke

D E

I’ve been on The Grand Ole Opry,

A D

I know Johnny Cash

E A

And If He Ain’t Country, What?

A D

Now one of my sisters was a lady of the night

E

And then one day she saw the light

A

Now she don’t do those things that she used to do

D

She never made the funeral when daddy died

E

An I said I’d forgive her but I guess I lied

A

There’s just no way to hide the way I feel

D

Now me and my brother took our sister Diane

E

Down to the funeral home to see the old man

A

Jimmy was the oldest and Diane was the youngest one

D

Now Ray was in the middle and there was me

E

And I’m the one at twenty-three

A

Who grew up to be that Yankee’s rebel son

D

Now times are changin’ I’ve heard folks say

E

It’s been ten years since my daddy past away

A

But I can still picture him in his overalls

D

Covered with grease from his head to his feet

E A

Cussin' the sweat and the Texas heat, and mesquiters

A D

Standin’ by the house where he made his deals

E

And around the porch was a bunch of old wheels

A

And a couple Harley Davidson parts daddy sold for gas

D E

There was fifty holes in an old tin roof

A D

Me and my family we was livin' proof

E

A perfect example of poor white trash

A

And If That Ain’t Country, I’ll Kiss Your Ass

Chrous2:

D E A

If That Ain’t Country, it'll hair lip the pope

D E A

If That Ain’t Country, it's a damn good joke

D E

Been on The Grand Ole Opry,

A D

And I know Johnny Cash

E A

And If He Ain’t Country, What?

E A

And If That Ain’t Country, What?

E A

And If That Ain’t Country, What?
