Longhaired Redneck

Country DJs knows that I'm an outlaw

They'd never come to see me in this dive

Where bikers stare at cowboys

Who are laughing at the hippies

Who are praying they all get out of here alive

Loudmouth 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've been to prison

Someone ought to warn him

'For I knock him off his chair

'Cause my longhair just can't cover up my redneck

I've won every fight I've ever fought

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

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

'Cause I can sing all them songs about Texas

(Oh, oh, oh)

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 ya every song Hank Williams ever wrote

And I can sing all them songs about Texas

(Oh, oh, oh)

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 DJs all think I'm an outlaw

And they'd never come to see me in this dive

Where bikers stare at cowboys

Who are laughing at the hippies

Who are prayin' they all get out of here alive

The loudmouth in the corner is gettin' to me

Talkin' 'bout my earrings and my hair
