Rails Lyrics - David Allan Coe

Hey, lay me down some rails boys 

Don't put me in jail boys 

And if I make a little noise 

Just leave me alone 

I've been known to party some 

But I ain't never hurt no one 

I've been ashamed of what I've done 

Especially when I'm stoned 

I've spent most of my life in honest thinking 

And I never cared too much for serious drinking 

Marijuana makes my eyes start blinking 

And incense make my sinuses drain 

So, lay me down some rails boys 

Don't put me in jail boys 

And if I make a little noise 

Just leave me alone 

I've been known to party some 

But I ain't never hurt no one 

I've been ashamed of what I've done 

Especially when I'm stoned 

Now women make me think of consolation 

Prison makes me think of isolation 

Niggers made me vote for segregation 

And cocaine makes me hard as a rock 

So, lay me down some rails boys 

Don't put me in jail boys 

And if I make a little noise 

Just leave me alone 

I've been known to party some 

But I ain't never hurt no one 

I've been ashamed of what I've done 

Especially when I'm stoned 

Well it's hard to work for a dollar a week 

And the Ku Klux Klan is bigger 

So take the sheets off of your beds 

And let's go hang a nigger 

And lay me down some rails boys 

Don't put me in jail boys 

And if I make a little noise 

Just leave me alone 

I've been known to party some 

But I ain't never hurt no one 

I've been ashamed of what I've done 

Especially when I'm stoned
