Long Haired Redneck Lyrics - David Allan Coe

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 Rabbit turned her on to my last album 

Just about the time the jukebox broke 

Yeah, Johny 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 

I can't help it, I look like Merle Haggard 

And I 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 out of here alive 

The loud mouth in the corner's gettin' to me 

Talking 'bout my earrings and my hair
