Another Pretty Country Song Lyrics - Singles - David Allan Coe

I bought this rhinestone suit in California 

These boots came all the way from Mexico 

This Cadillac ain't nothin' son you ought to see the Greyhound 

I bought to take my band from show to show 

Seen my face a thousand times on TV and heard me on your local radio 

And in your eyes I see the admiration there for me 

But son there's something that you ought to know 

Well I've got to take a drink to keep from shakin' 

Motel rooms ain't nothing like a home 

Money can't make love grow any stronger when you leave your woman home alone 

She can't raise the children with no daddy 

She can't love a man that's always gone 

It takes a whole lot more than pride to keep your feelings locked inside 

While you sing another pretty country song 

(Play it Pete Drake) 

[ steel ] 

(I've seen your face a thousand times on TV I've heard you on my local radio) 

It's true I took some pills to stay awake son 

And this diamond ring I wear is just for show 

I've got a little cabin in the country 

When I'm not on the road that's where I go 

Try and put my feelings down on paper 

Right or wrong the show has to go on 

I can cry down deep inside and keep on smilin' 

While I sing another pretty country song 

But I've got to take a drink to keep from shakin'
