Intro: G Verse: C D G Country DJʼs knows that Iʼm an outlaw. G C Theyʼd never come to see me in this dive. C G D Em Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughenʼ at the hippies. Am D Who are prayenʼ theyʼll get out of her alive. C D G The loud mouth in the corners gettʼen to me. G C Talking about my earrings and my hair. C G D Em I guess he aint read the sign that says Iʼve been to prison. Am D Someone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his chair. C D G Cause my long hair just canʼt cover up my redneck. G C Iʼve won every fight Iʼve ever faught. C G D Em And I donʼt need some turkey telling me that I ainʼt country. Am D Sayʼen I aint worth a damn on, ticket that he bought. Chorus: G C Cause I can sing all those songs about Texas, D G D And I still do all the sad oneʼs that I know. G C They tell me, I look like Merle Haggard, Am D And sound alot like David Allen Coe. Verse: And the barmaid in the last town that we played in. Knew the words to every song I wrote. She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album. Just about the time the jukebox broke. Ya Jonny Cash helped me get out of prison. Long before Rodriquez stole that goat. Iʼve been a Rhinestone Cowboy for so long I canʼt remember. And I can do you every song Hank Williams ever wrote. Chorus: And I can sing all those songs about Texas, And I still do all the sad oneʼs that I know. I canʼt help it, I like Merle Haggard, And sound alot like David Allen Coe.
