Tom: G
C D G
Country DJ's knows that I'm an outlaw.
G C
They'd never come to see me in this dive.
C G D/F# Em
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughen' at the hippies.
Am D
Who are prayen' they'll get out of her alive.
[Verse 2]
C D G
The loud mouth in the corners gett'en to me.
G C
Talking about my earrings and my hair.
C G D/F# Em
I guess he aint read the sign that says I've been to prison.
Am D
Someone aught to warn him, before I knock him off his chair.
[Verse 3]
C D G
Cause my long hair just can't cover up my redneck.
G C
I've won every fight I've ever faught.
C G D/F# Em
And I don't need some turkey telling me that I ain't country.
Am D
Say'en I aint worth a damn on, ticket that he bought.
[Chorus]
G C
Cause I can sing all those songs about Texas,
D G D
And I still do all the sad one's that I know.
G C
They tell me, I look like Merle Haggard,
Am D
And sound alot like David Allen Coe.
[Verse 4]
C D G
The barmaid in the last town that we played in
G C
Knew the words to every song I wrote
C G Em
She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album.**
Am D
Just about the time the jukebox broke
C D C
Johnny Cash helped me get out of prison
G C
Long before Rodriguez stole that goat
C G Em
I've been a Rhinestone Cowboy for so long I can't remember
Am D
And I can sing you every song Hank Williams ever wrote.
[Chorus]
G C
Cause I can sing all those songs about Texas,
D G D
And I still do all the sad one's that I know.
G C
They tell me, I look like Merle Haggard,
Am D
And sound alot like David Allen Coe.
[Verse 5]
C D G
Cause my long hair just can't cover up my redneck.
G C
I've won every fight I've ever faught.
C G D/F# Em
And I don't need some turkey telling me that I ain't country.
Am D
Say'en I aint worth a damn on, ticket that he bought.
C D G
Cause my long hair just can't cover up my redneck.
