Country deejays 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'll get
Outta here alive
The loud mouth in the corner's
Gettin' to me
Talking 'bout my earrings and my hair
I guess he ain't read the signs
That say I been to prison
Someone ought to warn him
'Fore I knock him off his chair
'Cause my long hair just can't
Cover up my red neck
I've won every fight, I've ever fought
Hey, I don't need some turkey
Telling me that I ain't country
And sayin' I ain't worth the damned ol'
Ticket that he bought
'Cause I can sing
All them songs about Texas
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 Rabbitt 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 you every song
Hank Williams ever wrote
And I can sing
All them songs about Texas
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
But the country deejays, 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 praying they'll get
Outta here alive
