Longhaired Redneck

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 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 longhair 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 Johhny 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

Cause 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 DJ's 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............
