David Allan Coe
If That Ain't Country (Part 2)
Capo 1
 
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
S**t 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 
 
[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
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?
