Longhaired Redneck
Composer(s): David Allan Coe - Jimmy Rabbit
Performer(s): David Allan Coe



Country DJ's knows that I'm an outlaw
They'd never come to see me in this dive
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughen' at the hippies
Who are prayen' they'll get out of her alive

The loud mouth in the corners gett'en to me
Talking about my earrings and my hair
I guess he ain't read the sign that says I've been to prison
Someone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his chair

'Cause my long hair just can't cover up my redneck
I've won every fight I've ever faught
And I don't need some turkey telling me that I ain't country
Say'en I aint worth a damn old, ticket that he bought

'Cause I can sing all those songs about Texas
And I still do all the sad one's that I know
They tell me, I look like Merle Haggard
And sound alot like David Allen Coe

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
I've been a 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 those songs about Texas
And I still do all the sad one's that I know
I can't help it, I like Merle Haggard
And sound alot like David Allen Coe

The loud mouth in the corners gett'en to me
Talking about my earrings and my hair
I guess he ain't read the sign that says I've been to prison
Someone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his chair
