Nothin' To Lose lyrics - David Allan Coe
I am a gambler God knows I’ve been around
I lived it up and now I’m livin’ it down
I’ve played some hunches boys and I’ve played some blues
But a man with nothin’ ain’t got Nothing To Lose.
I thought my woman was my ace in the hole
But when she left me I was out of control
I just had bad luck now since I got the news
But a man with nothin’ ain’t got Nothing To Lose.
[Chorus:]
Old Lady Luck she ain’t nobody’s friend
And Old Dame Fortune broke my heart in thee end
Love was the one thing I tried not to abuse
But a, a man with nothin’ ain’t got Nothing To Lose.
I like casinos and I play slot machines
I lost a fortune if you know what I mean
Those one arm bandits was the wrong thing to choose
But a man with nothin’ ain’t got Nothing To Lose.
[Chorus 2:]
I lost it all I don’t have no more to give
The doctor told me I don’t have too long to live
My friends all say they’d hate to be in my shoes
But a, a man with nothin’ ain’t got Nothing To Lose.
Nothing To Lose
Nothing To Lose
Nothing To Lose
Nothing To Lose
Nothing To Lose.
I lived it up and now I’m livin’ it down
I’ve played some hunches boys and I’ve played some blues
But a man with nothin’ ain’t got Nothing To Lose.
I thought my woman was my ace in the hole
But when she left me I was out of control
I just had bad luck now since I got the news
But a man with nothin’ ain’t got Nothing To Lose.
[Chorus:]
Old Lady Luck she ain’t nobody’s friend
And Old Dame Fortune broke my heart in thee end
Love was the one thing I tried not to abuse
But a, a man with nothin’ ain’t got Nothing To Lose.
I like casinos and I play slot machines
I lost a fortune if you know what I mean
Those one arm bandits was the wrong thing to choose
But a man with nothin’ ain’t got Nothing To Lose.
[Chorus 2:]
I lost it all I don’t have no more to give
The doctor told me I don’t have too long to live
My friends all say they’d hate to be in my shoes
But a, a man with nothin’ ain’t got Nothing To Lose.
Nothing To Lose
Nothing To Lose
Nothing To Lose
Nothing To Lose
Nothing To Lose.
Rebel Meets Rebel lyrics - David Allan Coe
We raise a lot of hell, drink a lot of booze
Don't need a damn reason for the things we do
So break out the bottles and bring on the crowd
Exercise your freedom, rowdy and loud
Get down, let's jam
All night, that's right
Rebel meets rebel
And that means trouble
Rebel meets rebel
Double trouble
Rebel meets rebel, man to man
Renegade singer, outlaw band
Rebel meets rebel
Quitters looking back, 'cos there ain't nothin' to hide
It's just a get-together pf country/metal minds
Could it be the future, a sign of the times?
When rebel meets rebel, we're partners in crime
Get down, let's jam
All night, that's right
Rebel meets rebel
And that means trouble
When rebel meets rebel
Double trouble
Rebel meets rebel, we've got our pride
Like old Hank said, it's been a long hard ride
When rebel meets rebel
Don't need a damn reason for the things we do
So break out the bottles and bring on the crowd
Exercise your freedom, rowdy and loud
Get down, let's jam
All night, that's right
Rebel meets rebel
And that means trouble
Rebel meets rebel
Double trouble
Rebel meets rebel, man to man
Renegade singer, outlaw band
Rebel meets rebel
Quitters looking back, 'cos there ain't nothin' to hide
It's just a get-together pf country/metal minds
Could it be the future, a sign of the times?
When rebel meets rebel, we're partners in crime
Get down, let's jam
All night, that's right
Rebel meets rebel
And that means trouble
When rebel meets rebel
Double trouble
Rebel meets rebel, we've got our pride
Like old Hank said, it's been a long hard ride
When rebel meets rebel
Cowboys Do More Dope lyrics - David Allan Coe
Country music stars
Like the catchy bars
They smoke a lot of weed
Yeah, those country singers
Like to catch their buzz
They love to drink whiskey
Shotgun-Willie
He got popped on the highway with
A roach of that dealie in his ashtray
Them cocaine cowboys just
Don't feel right unless they're high
Cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers
I wonder if cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers
Those long-haired rednecks
Like to pack their nose
They do a lot of blow
Those dog roofers
Like to take acid trips
They love to go fast, not slow
Behind that clean face in the closet
Hooked on freebase
Lurks another up-and-coming star
Them cranked up cowboys just
Don't feel right unless they're high, high
Cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers
I wonder if cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers
Cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers
Do you think cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers?
Listen up, people
Don't take the purple acid
You'll have to get down off them towers
Like the catchy bars
They smoke a lot of weed
Yeah, those country singers
Like to catch their buzz
They love to drink whiskey
Shotgun-Willie
He got popped on the highway with
A roach of that dealie in his ashtray
Them cocaine cowboys just
Don't feel right unless they're high
Cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers
I wonder if cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers
Those long-haired rednecks
Like to pack their nose
They do a lot of blow
Those dog roofers
Like to take acid trips
They love to go fast, not slow
Behind that clean face in the closet
Hooked on freebase
Lurks another up-and-coming star
Them cranked up cowboys just
Don't feel right unless they're high, high
Cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers
I wonder if cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers
Cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers
Do you think cowboys do more dope
Than rock 'n' rollers?
Listen up, people
Don't take the purple acid
You'll have to get down off them towers
Heart Worn Highway lyrics - David Allan Coe
On this Heart Worn Highway
Into the heat of night
Look in your rearview mirror
Tucson is out of sight
Headin' for Oklahoma
Texas is still ahead
Face on a Wanted poster
Wanted alive or dead
Destined to die an outlaw
Braggin' in every town
Two steps ahead of danger
Waiting to bring you down
Cling to your loaded pistol
Keep it right by your side
Haul ass on Heart Worn, run away
This could be your last ride
I was on Heart Worn Highway
Too late to turn back now
You made the bed you lay in
And they'll find your trail somehow
You just gotta keep on runnin'
From all the things you've done
Out on that Heart Worn Highway
You'll never buy the gun
Destined to die an outlaw
Braggin' in every town
Two steps ahead of danger
Waiting to bring you down
Cling to your loaded pistol
Keep it right by your side
Out on some Heart Worn Highway
This could be your last ride
Destined to die an outlaw
Confined in every town
Two steps ahead of danger
Waiting to bring you down
Cling to your loaded pistol
Now, keep it right by your side
Out on some Heart Worn Highway
This could be your last ride
Into the heat of night
Look in your rearview mirror
Tucson is out of sight
Headin' for Oklahoma
Texas is still ahead
Face on a Wanted poster
Wanted alive or dead
Destined to die an outlaw
Braggin' in every town
Two steps ahead of danger
Waiting to bring you down
Cling to your loaded pistol
Keep it right by your side
Haul ass on Heart Worn, run away
This could be your last ride
I was on Heart Worn Highway
Too late to turn back now
You made the bed you lay in
And they'll find your trail somehow
You just gotta keep on runnin'
From all the things you've done
Out on that Heart Worn Highway
You'll never buy the gun
Destined to die an outlaw
Braggin' in every town
Two steps ahead of danger
Waiting to bring you down
Cling to your loaded pistol
Keep it right by your side
Out on some Heart Worn Highway
This could be your last ride
Destined to die an outlaw
Confined in every town
Two steps ahead of danger
Waiting to bring you down
Cling to your loaded pistol
Now, keep it right by your side
Out on some Heart Worn Highway
This could be your last ride
One Nite Stands lyrics - David Allan Coe
I don't make promises that I can't keep
Got to keep movin', got no time to sleep
Don't talk to me about my future plans
It's time to go, I'm into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
If you want wedding rings
To put on your hands
Don't look at me
I'm into one nite stands
Ride the highways like a man possessed
I got this demon here inside my chest
I'm hard to satisfy, you understand?
I need some love, I'm into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
If you want wedding rings
To put on your hands
Don't look at me
I'm into one nite stands
Play, Dime!
I play some football, like my younger days
Then our ol' Hendrix sing Purple Haze
That's when I put together my first band
And now I'm only into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
If you want wedding rings
To put on your hands
Don't look at me
I'm into one nite stands
One nite stands
Got to keep movin', got no time to sleep
Don't talk to me about my future plans
It's time to go, I'm into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
If you want wedding rings
To put on your hands
Don't look at me
I'm into one nite stands
Ride the highways like a man possessed
I got this demon here inside my chest
I'm hard to satisfy, you understand?
I need some love, I'm into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
If you want wedding rings
To put on your hands
Don't look at me
I'm into one nite stands
Play, Dime!
I play some football, like my younger days
Then our ol' Hendrix sing Purple Haze
That's when I put together my first band
And now I'm only into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
I'm into one nite stands
If you want wedding rings
To put on your hands
Don't look at me
I'm into one nite stands
One nite stands
Arizona Rivers lyrics - David Allan Coe
When you're young
You wanna believe
Believe in love
Believe in everything
Time
Seems to be on your side
When you're young
And in love
Time to move along, baby
I've got this feelin'
Something's going on
I can't make my mind up
When I do
I tell you, baby
I'll be through with you
I feel a heart ache comin' on
I feel a heart ache comin' on
I feel a heartbreak
And it's coming on strong
You wanna believe
Believe in love
Believe in everything
Time
Seems to be on your side
When you're young
And in love
Time to move along, baby
I've got this feelin'
Something's going on
I can't make my mind up
When I do
I tell you, baby
I'll be through with you
I feel a heart ache comin' on
I feel a heart ache comin' on
I feel a heartbreak
And it's coming on strong
Get Outta My Life lyrics - David Allan Coe (feat. Hank Williams III)
I've been cool for far too long
Just a matter of time before I break
I took more shit than I wanted to take
You can't look me in the eyes
Somethings gone wrong and you know I know
I'm like a stick of dynamite ready to blow
I just can't accept your lies no more
It ain't my fault that you can't take it
Just ain't cool if you have to fake it
Don't threaten me just pack your trash
And don't let the door hit you in the ass
Get outta my life!
[Chorus:]
Get up get gone I gotta keep on keeping on
Too much pain and too much strife up yours
Get outta my life!
Get up get gone I gotta keep on keeping on
Too much pain and too much strife up yours
Get outta my life!
I ain't gonna be cool no more
You took advantage of my whole deal
This ain't about you it's the way I feel
Nothin's ever good enough
Your never satisfied heard it all before
When you give all you got you can't give no more
It's too late to change my mind
I can't turn back the hands of time
You should have noticed the danger sign
Don't threaten me just pack your trash
And don't let the door hit you in the ass
Get outta my mother fucking like!
[Chorus 2x]
Just a matter of time before I break
I took more shit than I wanted to take
You can't look me in the eyes
Somethings gone wrong and you know I know
I'm like a stick of dynamite ready to blow
I just can't accept your lies no more
It ain't my fault that you can't take it
Just ain't cool if you have to fake it
Don't threaten me just pack your trash
And don't let the door hit you in the ass
Get outta my life!
[Chorus:]
Get up get gone I gotta keep on keeping on
Too much pain and too much strife up yours
Get outta my life!
Get up get gone I gotta keep on keeping on
Too much pain and too much strife up yours
Get outta my life!
I ain't gonna be cool no more
You took advantage of my whole deal
This ain't about you it's the way I feel
Nothin's ever good enough
Your never satisfied heard it all before
When you give all you got you can't give no more
It's too late to change my mind
I can't turn back the hands of time
You should have noticed the danger sign
Don't threaten me just pack your trash
And don't let the door hit you in the ass
Get outta my mother fucking like!
[Chorus 2x]
Cherokee Cry lyrics - David Allan Coe
Talk about indian rights and wrongs
Sing a few more freedom songs
Look to the spirit, ride the wind
Let's not walk that trail of tears again
Digging up our sacred grounds
Won't you leave the dead alone
Let the eagle fly and the buffalos roam
And give us back our home
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Right up front I want my freedom back
I know about Geronimo's Cadillac
That's how you got us on the reservation
Don't talk to me about segregation
Digging up our sacred grounds
Won't you leave the dead alone
Let the eagle fly and the buffalos roam
And give us back our home
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Set me free, yeah
Cry, oh, cherokee cry

Time lyrics - David Allan Coe
We have one nanosecond
In the spectrum of time
Cause it's about the dead
It's all in your mind
Reality, senility
Human race, outer space
My head's about to overload
Explode, explode
Alien forces live inside my brain
I must obey them or I'll go insane
Procreation, cocentration
Penetration, ejaculation
My head's about to overload
Explode, explode
Explode, explode
Cold shots on the rocks
You know how it makes me feel
You better see, set me free
Don't give me no better deal
Anagram, sonogram
Looking for a thing that's real
All for sale, new ghost town
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
This black painted sign says:
"Jesus saves"
Ride on the highways
To an early grave
Remorse, intercourse
Voices from my alien force
My head's about to overload
Explode, explode
Cowboys From Hell on the radio
Turn it up now
Just as loud as it will go
Guitar bastards, cymbal crashers
Strobe light flashin', motel bashin'
My head's about to overload
Explode, explode
Explode, explode
Cold shots on the rocks
You know how it makes me feel
You better see, set me free
Don't give me no better deal
Anagram, sonogram
Looking for a thing that's real
Ultrasound, vocals down
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
Time is something you can't steal
We have one nanosecond

No Compromise lyrics - David Allan Coe
[Spoken:]
This is David Allan Coe and the Cowboys From Hell,
And everything we do, we do 110%. That's the
Bottom line, and that means no compromise.
I'm guilty, nut I'll drink myself innocent
Recklessly honest, but I'm content
I ain't scared of nothin', I'm in control
I am my own master, nobody owns my soul
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
I'm innocent, but I'll drink till I'm guilty
You live in a state of confusion
I live in ahe state of Texas
You follow some leader, I follow my mind
That's what happens, my friend
When the blind leads the blind
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
When it comes, just break it
Ow, bottom's up
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
Never!

Man, that's insane
Purple Rain, hey dude
Cut me some slack

Lookin' at me
But I'm lookin' at you
I wonder
What am I doin' here
What am I doin' here
Whiskey signs
Fashion in my mind
Time to get loaded

Fuck, heavy metal ain't dead
Hey dude

Rockin' Rita

The Fightin' Side Of Me lyrics - David Allan Coe
I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.
An' I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'.
When they're runnin' down my country, hoss,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail
I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways,
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury
Of having one I love to come along
She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me
For he who travels fastest goes alone
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail
I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways,
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury
Of having one I love to come along
She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me
For he who travels fastest goes alone
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
I'm on the run, the highway is my home
Home On The Range lyrics - David Allan Coe
Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
How often at night,
When the heavens are bright
With lights from the glittering stars,
Have I stood here amazed
And asked, as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours.
Oh give me a land
Where the bright diamond sand
Flows leisurely down the stream;
Where the graceful white swan
Goes gliding along
Like a maid in a heavenly dream.
Then I would not exchange
My home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Home,
Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
How often at night,
When the heavens are bright
With lights from the glittering stars,
Have I stood here amazed
And asked, as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours.
Oh give me a land
Where the bright diamond sand
Flows leisurely down the stream;
Where the graceful white swan
Goes gliding along
Like a maid in a heavenly dream.
Then I would not exchange
My home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Home,
Where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Someday You'll Have Children Of Your Own lyrics - David Allan Coe
Daddy worked hard all life sweatin’ in some factory
Gugitire Rubber, was the only life he knew
They gave him a gold watch after 20 years of service
The retired and moved to Florida with my mama Lou.
They left Akron far behind and sold the house we lived in
Nothin’ there but memories now of how it used to be
Diane left and middle Ray moved out to California
Jimmy stayed in Ohio and they got left with me.
[Chorus:]
And they said Someday You'll Have Children Of Your Own you will see
It takes more than money son to raise a family
I’m tellin’ you right now that there’s things in this life are free
Someday You'll Have Children Of Your Own and you will see.
I was much too young back then to know what he was sayin’
Daddy’s gone to Heaven now he left me all alone
Me I finally settled down but I can still remember
All the things he said I’d have to learn when I was grown.
Always lend a helpin’ hand when your out on the highway
Take the time to smell the roses life will soon be gone
Teach your children well my son someday you’ll be without them
So I’ve tried to show them how to make it on their own.
[Chorus 2:]
I tell ‘em Someday You'll Have Children Of Your Own you will see
It takes more than money son to raise a family
I’m tellin’ you right now that there’s things in this life are free
Someday You'll Have Children Of Your Own and you will see.
Someday You'll Have Children Of Your Own
Someday You'll Have Children Of Your Own
Someday You'll Have Children Of Your Own.
Gugitire Rubber, was the only life he knew

Then I Found You lyrics - David Allan Coe
It's not hard to tell an orchid from a rose
Roses have thorns everybody knows
And the orchid is the sweetest flower that grows
No it's not hard to tell an orchid from a rose
Some men search for roses heaven knows
There's one thing that's prettier than any rose
They'll walk past an orchid every time
And roses are the only thing they'll find
Then I found you
You were the one in a million I've been looking for
Then I found you
You were the orchid I'd been trying so hard to find
Then I found you and I left that old bed of roses behind
It's not hard to tell an orchid from a rose
Roses have thorns everybody knows
And the orchid is the sweetest flower that grows
No it's not hard to tell an orchid from a rose
Then I found you
You were the one in a million I've been looking for
Then I found you
You were the orchid I'd been trying so hard to find
Then I found you and I left that old bed of roses behind
Roses have thorns everybody knows
And the orchid is the sweetest flower that grows
No it's not hard to tell an orchid from a rose
Some men search for roses heaven knows
There's one thing that's prettier than any rose
They'll walk past an orchid every time
And roses are the only thing they'll find
Then I found you
You were the one in a million I've been looking for
Then I found you
You were the orchid I'd been trying so hard to find
Then I found you and I left that old bed of roses behind
It's not hard to tell an orchid from a rose
Roses have thorns everybody knows
And the orchid is the sweetest flower that grows
No it's not hard to tell an orchid from a rose

You were the one in a million I've been looking for
Then I found you
You were the orchid I'd been trying so hard to find
Then I found you and I left that old bed of roses behind
The Ghost Of Hank Williams lyrics - David Allan Coe
In an Alabama graveyard on a December day
A young man with a guitar stares in to space and plays
no one there to listen No on there but him
And the Ghost of Hank Williams sings "Your Cheatin Heart" again
[Chorus:]
Marty Robbins, Pasty Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Red Solvine
Jimmy Rodgers, and old Lefty were my friends.
It's so lonesome here tonight, but someday I'll see the light
When the ghost of Hank Williams sings "Your Cheatin Heart" again
It was 2 am in Nashville and the Ryman Stage was bare
There was just a lot of memories from the Opry being there
In the stillness of the morning in a cold December wind
And the Ghost of Hank Williams plays "Your Cheatin Heart" again
[Chorus]
There's a DJ in Ohio that recalls that New Years Day
When he had to tell the nation tha his singer passed away
Sometimes when it's late at night he'll let some records spin
And the ghost of Hank Williams sings "Your Cheatin Heart" again
[Chorus]
In an Alabama graveyard on a December day
A young man with a guitar stares in to space and plays
no one there to listen No on there but him
And the Ghost of Hank Williams sings "Your Cheatin Heart" again
A young man with a guitar stares in to space and plays
no one there to listen No on there but him
And the Ghost of Hank Williams sings "Your Cheatin Heart" again
[Chorus:]
Marty Robbins, Pasty Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Red Solvine
Jimmy Rodgers, and old Lefty were my friends.
It's so lonesome here tonight, but someday I'll see the light

It was 2 am in Nashville and the Ryman Stage was bare

The Only Thing Missing Is You lyrics - David Allan Coe
The roses just bloomed in the garden today
The water still runs by the creek by the way
That old mother hen is refusing to lay
Our bank note long over due
Our family reunion is finished and done
We all played horseshoes, but none of us won
We all agreed that it could have been fun
The Only Thing Missing Is you.
[Chorus:]
Missing one lover, missing one wife
Missing someone who was part of our life
It could have been perfect, a loved tried and true
The Only Thing Missing Is you.
The mailman delivers the mail everyday
Those trash people still haul, the garbage away
On Sunday we all go to church and we pray
There’s nothing else different or new
On Friday we still go and shop at the mall
Were cussing the winter, and praying for fall
This could have been the best year of all
The Only Thing Missing Is You.
[Chorus:]
The Only Thing Missing Is You.
The water still runs by the creek by the way
That old mother hen is refusing to lay
Our bank note long over due
Our family reunion is finished and done
We all played horseshoes, but none of us won
We all agreed that it could have been fun
The Only Thing Missing Is you.
[Chorus:]
Missing one lover, missing one wife
Missing someone who was part of our life
It could have been perfect, a loved tried and true
The Only Thing Missing Is you.
The mailman delivers the mail everyday
Those trash people still haul, the garbage away
On Sunday we all go to church and we pray
There’s nothing else different or new
On Friday we still go and shop at the mall
Were cussing the winter, and praying for fall
This could have been the best year of all
The Only Thing Missing Is You.
[Chorus:]
The Only Thing Missing Is You.
Drinking Her Off My Mind lyrics - David Allan Coe
I keep runnin’ from old memory
They never fall behind
It’s time to take drastic measures
I’ll try Drinking Her Off My Mind.
[Chorus:]
Neon lights shinin’ bright
This is the first bar I’ve seen tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
Drink Her Off My Mind tonight.
That old ocean’s been callin’ her name
And the wind tells me I am to blame
So the easiest thing that I find
Is Drinking Her Off My Mind.
[Chorus 2:]
Oh neon lights shinin’ bright
Second bar I’ve seen tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
Drink Her Off My Mind tonight.
You know this could take all night
But I just got to do it right
She’ll be gone by the morning light
I’ve been Drinking Her Off My Mind.
[Chorus 3:]
Neon lights shinin’ bright
Third bar I’ve seen tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
Drink Her Off My Mind tonight.
I keep runnin’ from old memories
They never fall behind
It’s time to take drastic measures again
I’ll try Drinking Her Off My Mind.
[Chorus 4:]
Neon lights shinin’ bright
This is the fourth bar I’ve seen tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
Drink Her Off My Mind tonight.
They never fall behind
It’s time to take drastic measures
I’ll try Drinking Her Off My Mind.
[Chorus:]
Neon lights shinin’ bright
This is the first bar I’ve seen tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
Drink Her Off My Mind tonight.
That old ocean’s been callin’ her name
And the wind tells me I am to blame
So the easiest thing that I find
Is Drinking Her Off My Mind.
[Chorus 2:]
Oh neon lights shinin’ bright
Second bar I’ve seen tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
Drink Her Off My Mind tonight.
You know this could take all night
But I just got to do it right
She’ll be gone by the morning light
I’ve been Drinking Her Off My Mind.
[Chorus 3:]
Neon lights shinin’ bright
Third bar I’ve seen tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
Drink Her Off My Mind tonight.
I keep runnin’ from old memories
They never fall behind
It’s time to take drastic measures again
I’ll try Drinking Her Off My Mind.
[Chorus 4:]
Neon lights shinin’ bright
This is the fourth bar I’ve seen tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
Drink Her Off My Mind tonight.
The Penny lyrics - David Allan Coe
Well the old man looked down and this grandson
And he whispered this Penny’s for good luck
And then he opened his hand and showed him the coin
And the date on The Penny was 1911
And he said when you get older boy maybe you’ll understand
You see this Penny don’t shine anymore like it used to
And this Penny’s been lost and this Penny’s been found
This Penny’s been hid in the jar in the attic
And this Penny’s been buried in a car in the ground
This Penny’s seen wars and this Penny’s has seen the sunshine
This Penny’s felt teardrops and this Penny’s seen rain
And this Penny’s been with me since I was a young man
In fact this Penny’s is all of my life that remains.
And the old man seemed sad as he tried to remember
The stories he told of the life that he led
Why there was the one about the time the old Penny rolled down in the gutter
And he said why I can’t count the times that I took that old Penny to bed
Then he told how he lost everything that once mattered
Lost his wife, his money, his job, and then finally his health
He always held on to that old luck Penny
Lord was he proud of himself.
Well the boy took The Penny and wrapped it in a piece of cloth
And he placed it in his pocket
And he said thanks grandad and the old man just nodded
Then he walked to his bedroom and he laid down this head
They found him there the next mornin’ he was layin’ there dead
Then the boy reached into his pocket
And took out The Penny that his grandpa had givin’ him
Slowly opened the old man’s hand and placed The Penny inside
Then he closed the old man’s fingers around the old coin
And let his hand lay on the old man’s chest
Grandpa he said there’s one place this old Penny hasn’t been
So you better take it with you now
And besides there’s not much you can buy with a Penny these days
And by the way grandpa, I love you.
And he whispered this Penny’s for good luck
And then he opened his hand and showed him the coin
And the date on The Penny was 1911
And he said when you get older boy maybe you’ll understand
You see this Penny don’t shine anymore like it used to
And this Penny’s been lost and this Penny’s been found

Song For The Year 2000 lyrics - David Allan Coe
“I was ah readin’ an article in a magazine
from France recently and ah they was talkin’
about David Allan Coe as a songwriter and ah.
They were sayin’ how ah my song, Jack Daniel’s,

2000.”
Jimmy’s in the closet, he thinks no one knows
He likes to wear makeup, and put on woman’s clothes
When he tries to be a man his feminine side shows
Jimmy’s in the closet, he thinks no one knows
[Chorus:]
But it takes all kinds of people, to make the world go round
I bent the whole world over, and that’s one thing that I found
Color does not matter, black, white, or red, or brown
It takes all kinds of people, to make the world go round
The world go round, the world go round
It takes all kinds of people, to make the world go round
Michael’s taking hormone, treatments once again
Michael’s black, Michael hates the color of his skin
Michael’s getting whiter, then he’s ever been
Michael’s taking hormone, treatments once again
[Chorus]
Stella was flat chested, she always stayed at home
Stella saved her money up, and bought some silicon
Now the boys all stare at Stella’s chest and they won’t leave her alone
Stella saved her money up just to buy some silicone

A Harley Someday lyrics - David Allan Coe
Those Harley's they cost so much money
A Honda is all he could buy
He covers it up on his car ort,
If anyone saw it he'd die.
He acts just as tough as his buddies
They drink Harley Davidson beer.
And he tells anyone that will listen,
He's buying a panh ead next year.
And we all laugh and think it's so funny,
Especially when we hear him say,
"Right now I'm just learning to ride, man
Oh but I'll have a Harley someday."
He don't take his bike to Daytona,
But he carries his helmet along.
And the Ironhorse Saloon shirt he's wearing,
Say's bike week 1981.
He's a bona fide wanna be tough guy.
With long hair and chains on his boots.
He works 9 to 5 Monday through Friday
In loafers and Ivy League suits.
And we all laugh and think it's so funny,
Especially when we hear him say,
"Right now I'm just learning to ride, man
Oh but I'll have a Harley someday."
And he's thinking of getting a tattoo,
And maybe an earring or two.
As much as we hate to admit it,
We all know what he's going through.
We say he's a true weekend warrior,
He's wearing his old Harley hat.
And the truth is it's hard to remember,
That we all started out just like that.
And we all laugh and think it's so funny,
Especially when we hear him say,
"Right now I'm just learning to ride, man
Oh but I'll have a Harley someday."
A Honda is all he could buy
He covers it up on his car ort,
If anyone saw it he'd die.

She's Already Gone lyrics - David Allan Coe
Fast cars and whiskey are just like a woman
There good for the taking but hard to let go
And gambling's as easy as working the pipeline
Or bustin some bronks in a cheap rodeo
[Chorus:]
If the proofs in the pudding
The cakes in the oven
You might as well pack up your things and move on
It's a fact when a woman starts talking about leaving
And she's standing beside you then she's already gone
Gone like the robins south for the winter
Gone like the river out to the sea
Gone like the leaves from the trees in the fall
I'll tell you she's already gone
She's talking about leaving she's already gone
Those high dice and pool cues are just like a lady
They love you and leave you a little bit down
Counting your loosing's they'll leave with your winnings
While your living on dreams that they already dreamt
[Chorus:]
If the proofs in the pudding
The cakes in the oven
You might as well pack up your things and move on
It's a fact when a woman starts talking about leaving
And she's standing beside you then she's already gone
Gone like the robins south for the winter
Gone like the river out to the sea
Gone like the leaves from the trees in the fall
I'll tell you she's already gone
She's talking about leaving she's already gone
There good for the taking but hard to let go
And gambling's as easy as working the pipeline
Or bustin some bronks in a cheap rodeo
[Chorus:]
If the proofs in the pudding
The cakes in the oven
You might as well pack up your things and move on
It's a fact when a woman starts talking about leaving
And she's standing beside you then she's already gone
Gone like the robins south for the winter
Gone like the river out to the sea
Gone like the leaves from the trees in the fall
I'll tell you she's already gone
She's talking about leaving she's already gone
Those high dice and pool cues are just like a lady
They love you and leave you a little bit down
Counting your loosing's they'll leave with your winnings
While your living on dreams that they already dreamt
[Chorus:]
If the proofs in the pudding
The cakes in the oven
You might as well pack up your things and move on
It's a fact when a woman starts talking about leaving
And she's standing beside you then she's already gone
Gone like the robins south for the winter
Gone like the river out to the sea
Gone like the leaves from the trees in the fall
I'll tell you she's already gone
She's talking about leaving she's already gone
Folsom Prison Blues lyrics - David Allan Coe
When I was just a baby, my mama told me son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno, Lord just to watch him die
Now I'm in the Folsom Prison, I'm starin at the sky
I hear the train a comin, it's rollin round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine woman, since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, the time keeps draggin on
And those wheels keep rollin on down to San Antone
If they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
You can bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I long to be
And those wheels keep rollin, Lord they would not torture me
I know there's rich folks out there in those fancy dining cars
I know they're drinkin coffee lord, smokin big cigars
But I know I had it comin, I know I can't be free
But those wheels keep rollin, Lord that's what tortures me
If they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
You can bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I long to be
And those wheels keep rollin, Lord theyw ould not torture me
I hear the train a-comin, it's rollin round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine woman since I don't know when
Well I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin on
And those wheels keep rollin on down to San Antone
I hear the train a-comin, it's rollin round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine woman since I don't know when
Well I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin on
And those wheels keep rollin on down to San Antone
I don't care if I do die, do die, do die, do die, do die
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno, Lord just to watch him die
Now I'm in the Folsom Prison, I'm starin at the sky
I hear the train a comin, it's rollin round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine woman, since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, the time keeps draggin on
And those wheels keep rollin on down to San Antone
If they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
You can bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I long to be
And those wheels keep rollin, Lord they would not torture me
I know there's rich folks out there in those fancy dining cars
I know they're drinkin coffee lord, smokin big cigars
But I know I had it comin, I know I can't be free
But those wheels keep rollin, Lord that's what tortures me
If they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
You can bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I long to be
And those wheels keep rollin, Lord theyw ould not torture me
I hear the train a-comin, it's rollin round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine woman since I don't know when

And I ain't seen the sunshine woman since I don't know when
Well I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin on
And those wheels keep rollin on down to San Antone
I don't care if I do die, do die, do die, do die, do die
Sunday Morning Coming Down lyrics - David Allan Coe
Well I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head
That didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
so I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled through my closet
For my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face
And combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs
To meet the day
I'd smoked my brain the night before
With cigarettes and songs
That I've been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Cussin' at a can that he was kickin
Then I crossed the empty street and
Caught the sunday smell
Of someone fryin chicken
And it took me back to something
That I'd lost somehow
Somewhere along the way
On the sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing lord that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing short of dying
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleeping city sidewalk
Sunday morning coming down
In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughing little girl
He was swingin
And I stopped beside the Sunday school
And listened to the song
That they were singing
Then I headed back for home
And somewhere far away
A lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed thru the canyon like
The disappearing dreams of yesterday
On the sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing lord that I was stoned
Cause therels something in a sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing short of dying
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleeping city sidewalk
Sunday morning coming down
With no way to hold my head
That didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
so I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled through my closet
For my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I shaved my face
And combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs
To meet the day
I'd smoked my brain the night before
With cigarettes and songs
That I've been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Cussin' at a can that he was kickin
Then I crossed the empty street and
Caught the sunday smell
Of someone fryin chicken
And it took me back to something
That I'd lost somehow
Somewhere along the way
On the sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing lord that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing short of dying
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleeping city sidewalk
Sunday morning coming down
In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughing little girl
He was swingin
And I stopped beside the Sunday school
And listened to the song
That they were singing
Then I headed back for home
And somewhere far away
A lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed thru the canyon like
The disappearing dreams of yesterday
On the sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing lord that I was stoned
Cause therels something in a sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing short of dying
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleeping city sidewalk
Sunday morning coming down
Ballad Of A Teenage Queen lyrics - David Allan Coe
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)
There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you (How those eyes could flash at you)
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)
She was tops in all they said
It never once went to her head
She had everything it seems
Not a care, this teenage queen (Not a care, this teenage queen)
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen you should be a movie queen)
He would marry her next spring
Saved his money, bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out (Came to town to take her out)
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door working at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen)
Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny car
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old home town (But she missed her old home town)
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen)
Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train (Left it all and caught a train)
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store
There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you (How those eyes could flash at you)
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)
She was tops in all they said
It never once went to her head
She had everything it seems
Not a care, this teenage queen (Not a care, this teenage queen)
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen you should be a movie queen)
He would marry her next spring
Saved his money, bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out (Came to town to take her out)
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door working at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen)
Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny car
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old home town (But she missed her old home town)
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen)
Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train (Left it all and caught a train)
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store
Hey Porter lyrics - David Allan Coe
Hey porter! Hey porter! Would you tell me the time
How much longer will it be 'til we cross
That Mason-Dixon Line
At daylight would ya tell that engineer
To slow it down
Or better still just stop the train
'Cause I wanna look around
Hey porter! Hey porter! What time did ya say
How much longer will it be till I can
See the light of day?
When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer
To ring his bell
And ask everybody that ain't asleep
To stand right up and yell
Hey porter! Hey porter! It's getting light outside
This old train is puffin' smoke
And I have to strain my eyes
But ask that engineer if he will
Blow his whistle please
'Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves
And I feel that Southern breeze
Hey porter! Hey porter! Please get my bags for me
I need nobody to tell me now
That we're in Tennessee
Go tell that engineer to make that
Lonesome whistle scream
We're not so far from home
So take it easy on the steam
Hey porter! Hey porter! Please open up the door
When they stop the train I'm gonna get off first
'Cause I can't wait no more
Tell that engineer I said thanks alot
And I didn't mind the fare
I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil
And breathe that Southern air
How much longer will it be 'til we cross
That Mason-Dixon Line
At daylight would ya tell that engineer
To slow it down
Or better still just stop the train
'Cause I wanna look around
Hey porter! Hey porter! What time did ya say
How much longer will it be till I can
See the light of day?
When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer
To ring his bell
And ask everybody that ain't asleep
To stand right up and yell
Hey porter! Hey porter! It's getting light outside
This old train is puffin' smoke
And I have to strain my eyes
But ask that engineer if he will
Blow his whistle please
'Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves
And I feel that Southern breeze
Hey porter! Hey porter! Please get my bags for me
I need nobody to tell me now
That we're in Tennessee
Go tell that engineer to make that
Lonesome whistle scream
We're not so far from home
So take it easy on the steam
Hey porter! Hey porter! Please open up the door
When they stop the train I'm gonna get off first
'Cause I can't wait no more
Tell that engineer I said thanks alot
And I didn't mind the fare
I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil
And breathe that Southern air
Ring Of Fire lyrics - David Allan Coe
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring.
Bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
And it makes a fiery ring.
Bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
Cry! Cry! Cry! lyrics - David Allan Coe
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
I think you only live to see the lights of town
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try
When the lights have lost their glow you're gonna cry, cry, cry
I lie awake at night to wait till you come in
You stay a little while and then you're gone again
Every question that I ask I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell you're gonna cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone
You wake up some cold day and find you're alone
You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye
When I turn around and walk away you'll cry, cry, cry
When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you
And you'll come back for me for a little love that's true
I'll tell you no and you're gonna ask me why, why, why
When I remind you of all of this and you'll cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me then
It'll hurt when you think of all the fool you've been
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
I think you only live to see the lights of town
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try
When the lights have lost their glow you're gonna cry, cry, cry
I lie awake at night to wait till you come in
You stay a little while and then you're gone again
Every question that I ask I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell you're gonna cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone
You wake up some cold day and find you're alone
You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye
When I turn around and walk away you'll cry, cry, cry
When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you
And you'll come back for me for a little love that's true
I'll tell you no and you're gonna ask me why, why, why
When I remind you of all of this and you'll cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me then
It'll hurt when you think of all the fool you've been
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
In My Mind lyrics - David Allan Coe
When you saw her, did she ask about me?
What did you see in her eyes?
Was she happy?
Was she wearing a smile?
Did she really seem surprised?
I've still got her picture
I carry it all of the time
It's not in my wallet
I keep it right here in my mind
When you saw her and you mentioned my name
Did she place the blame all on me?
Did she tell you that I drove her away?
What did she say about me?
I've still got her picture
I carry it all of the time
It's not in my wallet
I keep it right here in my mind, mm
She is much older than this picture I see
I haven't seen her in years
Is she still the same old girl she used to be?
Does she know how much I care?
I've still got her picture
I carry it all of the time
It's not in my wallet
I keep it right here in my mind
Here's a song for the road that she's following now
Here's a song...
What did you see in her eyes?
Was she happy?
Was she wearing a smile?
Did she really seem surprised?
I've still got her picture
I carry it all of the time
It's not in my wallet
I keep it right here in my mind
When you saw her and you mentioned my name
Did she place the blame all on me?
Did she tell you that I drove her away?
What did she say about me?
I've still got her picture
I carry it all of the time
It's not in my wallet
I keep it right here in my mind, mm
She is much older than this picture I see
I haven't seen her in years
Is she still the same old girl she used to be?
Does she know how much I care?
I've still got her picture
I carry it all of the time
It's not in my wallet
I keep it right here in my mind
Here's a song for the road that she's following now
Here's a song...
Desperate Man lyrics - David Allan Coe
Gimme all your money
The thief said with a grin
The gun started shaking
In his trembling hand
I don’t wanna hurt no one
But I gotta make a stand
You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in
Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.
Honey please don’t leave me
I’m beggin’ you he said
You’re all I got to live for
I might as well be dead
Do I have to end my life
To make you understand
You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in
Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.
Jesus please forgive me
I cried out in the night
I know you can help me
You can make it right
I don’t wanna hurt no one
But I know you’ll understand
You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in
Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.
Everynight I sing my songs
Playin’ with my band
Sometimes they listen
I hope they understand
I don’t wanna hurt no one
I’m just tryin’ to make a stand
You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in
Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.
You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in
Oh, I’m a Desperate Man
You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in
Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.
The thief said with a grin
The gun started shaking
In his trembling hand
I don’t wanna hurt no one
But I gotta make a stand
You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in
Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.
Honey please don’t leave me
I’m beggin’ you he said
You’re all I got to live for
I might as well be dead
Do I have to end my life
To make you understand
You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in
Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.

Oh, I’m a Desperate Man
You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in
Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.
Standing Too Close To The Flame lyrics - David Allan Coe
They say love is a fire that’s a lesson that I’ve learned
And if you play with fire babe someday you’ll get burned
If you don’t take this warning your young life will never be the same
I’m tellin’ you now girl you’re Standing Too Close To The Flame.
They say don’t light the match unless you can put out the fire
It’s much too late to stop now I’m burning with desire
My whole body is shaking and you say you aren’t feeling any shame
I’m tellin’ you now girl you’re Standing Too Close To The Flame.
You see the sparks flying every time that we touch
When you hold me close babe that’s just a little too much
I can almost smell the smoke now.
They say love is a fire that’s a lesson that I’ve learned
And if you play with fire babe someday you’ll get burned
If you don’t take this warning your young life will never be the same
I’m tellin’ you now girl you’re Standing Too Close To The Flame.
See the sparks flying every time that we touch
When you hold me close babe that’s just a little too much
I can almost smell the smoke now.
And if you play with fire babe someday you’ll get burned
If you don’t take this warning your young life will never be the same
I’m tellin’ you now girl you’re Standing Too Close To The Flame.
They say don’t light the match unless you can put out the fire
It’s much too late to stop now I’m burning with desire
My whole body is shaking and you say you aren’t feeling any shame
I’m tellin’ you now girl you’re Standing Too Close To The Flame.
You see the sparks flying every time that we touch
When you hold me close babe that’s just a little too much
I can almost smell the smoke now.
They say love is a fire that’s a lesson that I’ve learned
And if you play with fire babe someday you’ll get burned
If you don’t take this warning your young life will never be the same
I’m tellin’ you now girl you’re Standing Too Close To The Flame.
See the sparks flying every time that we touch
When you hold me close babe that’s just a little too much
I can almost smell the smoke now.
Love Is A Never Ending War lyrics - David Allan Coe
Well I dozed off in the back of the bus
to the groan of the Greyhounds throttle
and I woke to crack of a paper sack
and a cork poppin' from a bottle
I tell you son the old man said
it was hell in world war two
as he rolled up his pant leg
I saw the wood that filled his shoe
the younger man who followed him in opened up his vest
showed the older soldier where he caught one in the chest
both of them had purple hearts for the hell that they've been through
well I don't have no purple heart mine's just black and blue
[Chorus:]
Oh love is a never ending war
march me into action
and we'll train for what's in store
you win some and you lose some
but I believe in what I'm fightin' for
oh love is a never ending war
They where half-way through that bottle
and they where gettin' high
I never fought in those two wars
but Lord my throat was dry
so I showed them scars and stitches
inflicted by Maria
but I didn't think that would give me a drink
so I blamed it on Korea
I parted my hair and I showed them where
I got shrapnel from a grenade
I just couldn't tell it was where Annabelle
put a glas of lemonade
how that I've been tortured by the blade of a bajonet
and I never forget that hot August night
and the fingernails of Jeanet
[Chorus]
As I neared my destination I saw tears well in their eyes
partly from the drinkin' but mostly from my lies
and they stood up to salute me
as I stepped down from the bus
and out of the open window they yelled
give her hell for us
[Chorus]
to the groan of the Greyhounds throttle
and I woke to crack of a paper sack
and a cork poppin' from a bottle
I tell you son the old man said
it was hell in world war two
as he rolled up his pant leg
I saw the wood that filled his shoe
the younger man who followed him in opened up his vest
showed the older soldier where he caught one in the chest
both of them had purple hearts for the hell that they've been through
well I don't have no purple heart mine's just black and blue
[Chorus:]
Oh love is a never ending war
march me into action
and we'll train for what's in store
you win some and you lose some
but I believe in what I'm fightin' for
oh love is a never ending war
They where half-way through that bottle
and they where gettin' high
I never fought in those two wars
but Lord my throat was dry

Storms Never Last lyrics - David Allan Coe
Storms never last, do they, baby?
Bad times, all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine, steal the thunder
You make the sun wanna shine
I followed you down each and every road, babe
I picked wild flower, sung you soft, sad song
And every road we took, I know, your search was for the truth
And this storm that's brewin' now won't last long
Storms never last, do they, baby?
Bad times, all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine steal the thunder
You make the sun wanna shine
Storms never last, do they, baby?
Bad times, all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine steal the thunder
You make the sun wanna shine
You said you make the sun wanna shine
Bad times, all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine, steal the thunder
You make the sun wanna shine
I followed you down each and every road, babe
I picked wild flower, sung you soft, sad song
And every road we took, I know, your search was for the truth
And this storm that's brewin' now won't last long
Storms never last, do they, baby?
Bad times, all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine steal the thunder
You make the sun wanna shine
Storms never last, do they, baby?
Bad times, all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine steal the thunder
You make the sun wanna shine
You said you make the sun wanna shine
I've Already Cheated On You lyrics - David Allan Coe
She was only a face in the crowd
But our needs and desires spoke so loud
And before I could say I would try to be true
I'd already cheated on you
Oh the mysteries of love born at night
As we lay there it all seemed so right
Now it's too late to say I'll be true
Cause I've already cheated on you
I've already broken the vow that I made
The damage is already done
And though I know you've never been unfaithful to me darling
So the score now is zero to one
I feel guilty enough anyway
There's not really much more to say
I could say that I'm sorry
But what good would it do
Cause I'd already cheated on you
She was only a face in the crowd
But our needs and desires spoke so loud
And before I could say I'll try to be true
I'd already cheated on you
But our needs and desires spoke so loud
And before I could say I would try to be true
I'd already cheated on you
Oh the mysteries of love born at night
As we lay there it all seemed so right
Now it's too late to say I'll be true
Cause I've already cheated on you
I've already broken the vow that I made
The damage is already done
And though I know you've never been unfaithful to me darling
So the score now is zero to one
I feel guilty enough anyway
There's not really much more to say
I could say that I'm sorry
But what good would it do
Cause I'd already cheated on you
She was only a face in the crowd
But our needs and desires spoke so loud
And before I could say I'll try to be true
I'd already cheated on you
I Hate Love lyrics - David Allan Coe
I hate telephones
Specially when I'm waiting for your call
I hate teardrops
Specially just before they start to fall
And I hate love
More than anything else in life I hate love
I hate love because it tears me apart
I hate love because it always breaks my heart
I hate memorys
Especially when they're always about you
I hate feelings
Specially when I know they're not true
I hate love
More than anything else in life I hate Love
I hate dreamin
Specially The ones that don't come true
And I hate old songs
Specially The ones that make me blue
And I hate Love
More than anything else in life I hate love
Specially when I'm waiting for your call
I hate teardrops
Specially just before they start to fall
And I hate love
More than anything else in life I hate love
I hate love because it tears me apart
I hate love because it always breaks my heart
I hate memorys
Especially when they're always about you
I hate feelings
Specially when I know they're not true
I hate love
More than anything else in life I hate Love
I hate dreamin
Specially The ones that don't come true
And I hate old songs
Specially The ones that make me blue
And I hate Love
More than anything else in life I hate love
Son Of The South lyrics - David Allan Coe
I like to play Hank Williams Jr. records
Just as loud as they will go
I'm into Lynyrd Skynyrd
The Allman Brothers an' David Allan Coe
I like Willie, Waylon, George an' Merle
An' a lot of ZZ Top
They play country, soul with some rock 'n' roll
An' I hope they never stop
'Coz I'm a redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
I don't like no new wave disco bands around
I'm gonna drink a couple dozen beers
An' go out an' jam some gears
I'm a long haired redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
I've got a 1965 Harley chopper
It sure makes those women stare
I got a dead flamingo wrapped around
This cowboy hat I wear
Well, I can cuss, fight, spit, belch
An' raise all kinds of hell
If you ride to live like I live to ride
Let me hear that rebel yell
'Coz I'm a redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
I don't like no new wave disco bands around
I'm gonna drink me a couple dozen beers
An' go out an' jam some gears
'Coz I'm a long haired redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
I like my whiskey straight up
Daqueris makes me ill
If someone touches my Stetson hat
I get mad enough to kill
I got a rifle rack in my pickup truck
I'm a four wheelin' maniac
If you wanna race, you just name the place
An' I'll show you where it's at
'Coz I'm a redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
I don't like no new wave disco bands around
I'm gonna drink a couple dozen beers
An' go out an' jam some gears
'Coz I'm a long haired redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
Yeah, I'm a long haired redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
Yeah, I'm a long haired redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
Just as loud as they will go
I'm into Lynyrd Skynyrd

I'm Gonna Hurt Her On The Radio lyrics - David Allan Coe
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
She’s gonna hear me everywhere she goes
I’ll get to her the only way I know
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio.
Take these pieces of my broken heart
And watch ‘em climb the country music chart
She’s gonna pay me back in royalties
For bringin’ me down to my knees.
I’ll tell the world the way she done me wrong
And make a million while she sings along
She thinks she’s heard the last of my love songs
But she won’t feel that way for long.
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
She’s gonna hear me everywhere she goes
She’s gonna feel it deep inside her soul
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
I’m gonna get to her in stereo
She’s gonna feel it deep inside her soul
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
She’s gonna hear me everywhere she goes
I’ll get to her the only way I know
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio.
Take these pieces of my broken heart
And watch ‘em climb the country music chart
She’s gonna pay me back in royalties
For bringin’ me down to my knees.
I’ll tell the world the way she done me wrong
And make a million while she sings along
She thinks she’s heard the last of my love songs
But she won’t feel that way for long.
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
She’s gonna hear me everywhere she goes
She’s gonna feel it deep inside her soul
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
I’m gonna get to her in stereo
She’s gonna feel it deep inside her soul
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
Ain't Worth The Powder lyrics - David Allan Coe
I came up the hard way
And fought with my back to the wall
Sometimes down to nothin'
But right now, babe, we've got it all
Looking back now
When it comes down to facing the truth
Ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you
That's my Silver Eagle
And my name up in lights
And those big blue white diamonds
They can't keep me warm late at night
Here in the spotlight
My dreams have come true
But I ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you
Well, you know if the time ever comes, babe
When it's down to just win, lose or draw
I don't Carewhat they take
They can take what they want to
As long as they leave you
'cause you're the most precious thing of all
Take my Silver Eagle
And my name up in lights
And those big blue diamonds
they can't keep me warm late at night
Here in the spotlight
My dreams have come true
But I ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you
No I ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you
And fought with my back to the wall
Sometimes down to nothin'
But right now, babe, we've got it all
Looking back now
When it comes down to facing the truth
Ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you
That's my Silver Eagle
And my name up in lights
And those big blue white diamonds
They can't keep me warm late at night
Here in the spotlight
My dreams have come true
But I ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you
Well, you know if the time ever comes, babe
When it's down to just win, lose or draw
I don't Carewhat they take
They can take what they want to
As long as they leave you
'cause you're the most precious thing of all
Take my Silver Eagle
And my name up in lights
And those big blue diamonds
they can't keep me warm late at night
Here in the spotlight
My dreams have come true
But I ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you
No I ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you
Would They Love Me Down In Shreveport lyrics - David Allan Coe
If they saw me riding in long hair flying in the wind
Would They Love Me Down in Shreveport today
If I only sang the blues, and wore patent leather shoes
Would They Love Me Down in Nashville today
If they saw me talk with ease to the drunkard and the thieves
Would They Love Me out in Wichita today
Would the rich me think it's funny, if I said give up your money
Would They Love Me up on Wall street today
If I made the wine from water, gave it to there sons and daughters
What would the saints in Salt lake City say
If I talked of brotherhood walking through there neighborhoods
Would They Love Me up in Boston today
If I said love those how use you, and forgive those how abuse you,
and turn the other cheek what would you say
If you saw me riding in long hair flying in the wind
Would you Love Me Down in
Would you Love Me Down in
Would They Love Me Down in Shreveport today
If I only sang the blues, and wore patent leather shoes
Would They Love Me Down in Nashville today
If they saw me talk with ease to the drunkard and the thieves
Would They Love Me out in Wichita today
Would the rich me think it's funny, if I said give up your money
Would They Love Me up on Wall street today
If I made the wine from water, gave it to there sons and daughters
What would the saints in Salt lake City say
If I talked of brotherhood walking through there neighborhoods
Would They Love Me up in Boston today
If I said love those how use you, and forgive those how abuse you,
and turn the other cheek what would you say
If you saw me riding in long hair flying in the wind
Would you Love Me Down in
Would you Love Me Down in
Snowblind Friend lyrics - David Allan Coe
You say it was this mornin' when you last saw your good friend
Lyin' on the sidewalk with the misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
He only had a dollar to live on till next Monday
But he spent it all on comfort for his mind
Did you say you think he's blind?
Someone should call his parents or a sister or a brother
And they'll come and take him back home on a bus
But hell always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
And hell always be another one of us
He said he wanted heaven but prayin' was too slow
So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low
You say it was this mornin' when you last saw your good friend
Lyin' on the sidewalk with the misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low
Dyin' slow, blinded by snow
Lyin' on the sidewalk with the misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
He only had a dollar to live on till next Monday
But he spent it all on comfort for his mind
Did you say you think he's blind?
Someone should call his parents or a sister or a brother
And they'll come and take him back home on a bus
But hell always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
And hell always be another one of us
He said he wanted heaven but prayin' was too slow
So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low
You say it was this mornin' when you last saw your good friend
Lyin' on the sidewalk with the misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low
Dyin' slow, blinded by snow
Southern Man lyrics - David Allan Coe
Southern man better cool your head
Don't forget what your good book says
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man

Tall white mansions and little shacks
Southern man when will you pay them back
I heard screaming and ooh whips cracking and
How long how long, how long
Southern man
Southern man better cool your head
Don't forget what your good book says
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Lilly pelle your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man comin round
Swear to God, I'm gonna cut him down
I heard screaming and ooh whips cracking and
How long how long, how long
Southern man
Southern man better cool your head
Don't forget what your good book says
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Don't forget what your good book says
Southern change gonna come at last

Southern man

Tall white mansions and little shacks
Southern man when will you pay them back
I heard screaming and ooh whips cracking and
How long how long, how long

I heard screaming and ooh whips cracking and
How long how long, how long

Don't forget what your good book says
Southern change gonna come at last

Even After Forever lyrics - David Allan Coe
Yeah the snapshot must have been taken,
Back in 1922
But it's scary how the faces,
Look so much like me and you
Maybe there are some things in this life we just keep goin through
Did it again
Sometimes when we're talkin,
You've heard it all before
Maybe we're just echoes in this life and nothin more
Makes me wonder why we make the same mistakes,
And slam the doors
Did it again
Even after forever I still love you
Even after tomorrow's yesterday
Even if you never ever
Hold me close again
Somethings even the winds of time
Just can't blow away
Love never fades
I'm watchin some old Humphrey Bogart flick
In the middle of the night
When suddenly i smell the popcorn
And I see the billboard lights
Ah, but that could be cause all of this
Came long before my life
But maybe I'm wrong
There are things the lawyers and the preachers
Still cannot explain
Ah, they don't even know what to call it
If it even has a name
Well they say there's no such thing as magic
Isn't that a shame
Well, maybe they're wrong
Even after forever I still love you
Even after tomorrow's yesterday
Even if you never ever
Hold me close again
Some things even the winds of time
Just can't blow away
Love never fades
Ahh, love never fades
Back in 1922
But it's scary how the faces,
Look so much like me and you
Maybe there are some things in this life we just keep goin through
Did it again
Sometimes when we're talkin,
You've heard it all before
Maybe we're just echoes in this life and nothin more
Makes me wonder why we make the same mistakes,
And slam the doors
Did it again
Even after forever I still love you
Even after tomorrow's yesterday
Even if you never ever
Hold me close again
Somethings even the winds of time
Just can't blow away
Love never fades
I'm watchin some old Humphrey Bogart flick
In the middle of the night
When suddenly i smell the popcorn
And I see the billboard lights
Ah, but that could be cause all of this
Came long before my life
But maybe I'm wrong
There are things the lawyers and the preachers
Still cannot explain
Ah, they don't even know what to call it
If it even has a name
Well they say there's no such thing as magic
Isn't that a shame
Well, maybe they're wrong
Even after forever I still love you
Even after tomorrow's yesterday
Even if you never ever
Hold me close again
Some things even the winds of time
Just can't blow away
Love never fades
Ahh, love never fades
She Used To Love Me A Lot lyrics - David Allan Coe
I saw her through the window today
She was sittin' in the Silver Spoon cafe
I started to keep going
But something made me stop
She used to love me a lot
She looked lonely and I knew the cure
Old memories would win her heart for sure
I thought I'd walk on in there
And give it my best shot
She used to love me a lot
I sat down beside her and she smiled
She said where have you been it's been awhile
She seemed so glad to see me
Lord, I could read her thoughts
She used to love me a lot
She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
Looking at her now I can't believe i said good-bye
It would only take a minute to turn back the clock
She used to love me a lot
Well I reminded her how good it was back then
I said you know it's not to late to start again
We could spend a night together
Take up where we left off
She used to love me a lot
Then I panicked as she turned to walk away
As she went out the door I heard her say
Yes I'm in need of something
But it's something you ain't got
But I used to love you a lot
She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
Looking at her now I can't believe she said good-bye
It would only take a minute to turn back that ol' clock
She used to love me a lot
She used to love me a lot
She used to love me a lot...
She was sittin' in the Silver Spoon cafe
I started to keep going
But something made me stop
She used to love me a lot
She looked lonely and I knew the cure
Old memories would win her heart for sure
I thought I'd walk on in there
And give it my best shot
She used to love me a lot
I sat down beside her and she smiled
She said where have you been it's been awhile
She seemed so glad to see me
Lord, I could read her thoughts
She used to love me a lot
She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
Looking at her now I can't believe i said good-bye
It would only take a minute to turn back the clock
She used to love me a lot
Well I reminded her how good it was back then
I said you know it's not to late to start again
We could spend a night together
Take up where we left off
She used to love me a lot
Then I panicked as she turned to walk away
As she went out the door I heard her say
Yes I'm in need of something
But it's something you ain't got
But I used to love you a lot
She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
Looking at her now I can't believe she said good-bye
It would only take a minute to turn back that ol' clock
She used to love me a lot
She used to love me a lot
She used to love me a lot...
My Elusive Dreams lyrics - David Allan Coe
I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I followed you to Alabam', things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on
And now we've left Alaska, because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moves on
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone
I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I followed you to Alabam', things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on
And now we've left Alaska, because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moves on
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone
I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
Don't Cry Darlin' lyrics - David Allan Coe
Drunk.
Totally drained.
On the verge of going crazy.
On the edge of insane.
I know you'd prayed I'd make it.
But I never pulled through.
I gave up on going on girl
just like I gave up on you.
But don't you cry darlin'.
Though it's a cryin' shame.
I was hooked on that whisky so bad,
I didn't know my name when I died,
but don't cry darlin'.
You know it's not you're fault.
I was stealin' time from the devil and I
just got caught.
[Spoken:]
You know Hon,
David left you so long ago
He didn't want to darlin,
aw but his dying words told you so
But that strong stuff,
aww, it was always his weakness
But hell, any man can be a fool
And I know that he was so ashamed and sorry
For all those bad things that he did to you
But don't you cry darlin'.
Though it's a cryin' shame.
I was hooked on that whisky so bad,
I didn't know my name when I died,
but don't cry darlin'.
Well it's not you're fault.
I was stealin' time from the devil and I
just got caught.
don't you cry darlin'.
Though it's a cryin' shame.
I was hooked on that whisky so bad,
I didn't know my name when I died,
but don't cry darlin'.
Well it's not you're fault.
I was stealin' time from the devil and I
just got caught.
Totally drained.
On the verge of going crazy.
On the edge of insane.
I know you'd prayed I'd make it.
But I never pulled through.
I gave up on going on girl
just like I gave up on you.
But don't you cry darlin'.
Though it's a cryin' shame.

My Girl lyrics - David Allan Coe
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooh
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl
I've even got the month of May
With my girl
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooh
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl
I've even got the month of May
With my girl
Call Me The Breeze lyrics - David Allan Coe
Call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Well I dig you georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home

For Lovers Only lyrics - David Allan Coe
The last verse was the hardest the hardest to get through
This verse for old lost lovers this song I wrote for you
She's at the point of no return there's no more candles left to burn
She's broken every chain that bound her to your soul
She doesn't care what's right or wrong you've been her victim for too long
She knows you're too weak to be strong you'll lose control
Nothing seems to bother her she's as cool as cool has ever been
She knows she can handle you you've been her fool since God knows when
There's no more chances left to take you're just another heart she'll break
You're not the first one or the last to come along
She knows exactly how you feel you think you got a dirty deal
You left your heart where she could steal it for a song
This verse for old lost lovers this song I wrote for you
She's at the point of no return there's no more candles left to burn
She's broken every chain that bound her to your soul
She doesn't care what's right or wrong you've been her victim for too long
She knows you're too weak to be strong you'll lose control
Nothing seems to bother her she's as cool as cool has ever been
She knows she can handle you you've been her fool since God knows when
There's no more chances left to take you're just another heart she'll break
You're not the first one or the last to come along
She knows exactly how you feel you think you got a dirty deal
You left your heart where she could steal it for a song
Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile lyrics - David Allan Coe
Mona Lisa lost her smile
The painter's hands are trembling now
And if she's out there running wild
It's just because I taught her how
The masterpiece that we had planned
Is laying shattered on the ground
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now
And the eyes that used to burn for me
Now they no longer look my way
And the love that used to be
Why, it just got lost in yesterday
And if she seems cold to the touch
Well there used to burn a flame
I gave too little, took too much
Till I erased the painter's name
Mona Lisa lost her smile
The painter's hands are trembling now
And if she's out there running wild
It's just because I taught her how
The masterpiece that we had planned
Is laying shattered on the ground
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now
And if she's out there running wild
It's just because I taught her how
And the masterpiece that we had planned
It's laying shattered on the ground
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now
The painter's hands are trembling now
And if she's out there running wild
It's just because I taught her how
The masterpiece that we had planned
Is laying shattered on the ground
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now
And the eyes that used to burn for me
Now they no longer look my way
And the love that used to be
Why, it just got lost in yesterday
And if she seems cold to the touch
Well there used to burn a flame
I gave too little, took too much
Till I erased the painter's name
Mona Lisa lost her smile
The painter's hands are trembling now
And if she's out there running wild
It's just because I taught her how
The masterpiece that we had planned
Is laying shattered on the ground
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now
And if she's out there running wild
It's just because I taught her how
And the masterpiece that we had planned
It's laying shattered on the ground
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now
Sweet Angeline lyrics - David Allan Coe
Sweet Angeline I hope nobody ever hurts you
Angeline you're still a child
But I can see the woman fighting to bust out
And take you far away from me sweet Angeline
Sweet Angeline you're young and free
Don't ever let nobody get inside your mind
Until you get too blind to see sweet Angeline
Angeline don't let nobody tell you
That your dad don't love you and your mother
Angeline, sweet Angeline, Angeline
Angeline don't let nobody tell you
That your dad don't love you and your mother
Angeline, sweet Angeline, Angeline
Angeline
Angeline you're still a child
But I can see the woman fighting to bust out
And take you far away from me sweet Angeline
Sweet Angeline you're young and free
Don't ever let nobody get inside your mind
Until you get too blind to see sweet Angeline
Angeline don't let nobody tell you
That your dad don't love you and your mother
Angeline, sweet Angeline, Angeline
Angeline don't let nobody tell you
That your dad don't love you and your mother
Angeline, sweet Angeline, Angeline

He's Taking It Hard (She's Taking It Easy) lyrics - David Allan Coe
He's taking it hard she's taking it easy
She's living it up and he's living it down
He's walking the floor looking for answers
She's out on the floor all over town
Ain't that the way that love goes when love goes to pieces
Ain't that the truth when you find out you're living a lie
Ain't love the reason we both took a chance on each other
Ain't it each other we both swore we wanted to try
He's taking it hard she's taking it easy
She's drying her eyes but his are still wet
He wishes he could just hold her until she remembers
She wishes she could find someone to make her forget
He's taking it hard she's taking it easy
She's living it up and he's living it down
He's walking the floor looking for answers
She's out on the floor all over town
Ain't that the way that love goes when love goes to pieces
Ain't that the truth when you find out you're living a lie
Ain't love the reason we both took a chance on each other
Ain't it each other we both swore we wanted to try
He's taking it hard she's taking it easy
She's drying her eyes but his are still wet
He wishes he could just hold her until she remembers
She wishes she could find someone to make her forget
He's taking it hard she's taking it easy
For Lovers Only, Pt. 3 lyrics - David Allan Coe
The last verse was the hardest
The hardest to get through
This verse for old lost lovers
This song I wrote for you
She's at the point of no return
There's no more candles left to burn
She's broken every chain
That bound her to your soul
She doesn't care what's right or wrong
You've been her victim for too long
She knows you're too weak to be strong
You'll lose control
Nothing seems to bother her
She's as cool as cool has ever been
She knows she can handle you
You've been her fool since God knows when
There's no more chances left to take
You're just another heart she'll break
You're not the first one
Or the last to come along
She knows exactly how you feel
You think you got a dirty deal
You left your heart where
She could steal it for a song
The hardest to get through
This verse for old lost lovers
This song I wrote for you
She's at the point of no return
There's no more candles left to burn
She's broken every chain
That bound her to your soul
She doesn't care what's right or wrong
You've been her victim for too long
She knows you're too weak to be strong
You'll lose control
Nothing seems to bother her
She's as cool as cool has ever been
She knows she can handle you
You've been her fool since God knows when
There's no more chances left to take
You're just another heart she'll break
You're not the first one
Or the last to come along
She knows exactly how you feel
You think you got a dirty deal
You left your heart where
She could steal it for a song
Thief In By Bedroom lyrics - David Allan Coe
There's a thief in my bedroom but I'm not afraid
Thieves all get caught by mistakes that they've made
This one has torn my emotions apart somebody's stealing my heart
Well somebody's kisses are wet on my lip somebody's face is at my fingertips
Somebody's holding me tight in their grips somebody's stealing my heart
There's a thief in my bedroom...
Well somebody's kisses...
Thieves all get caught by mistakes that they've made
This one has torn my emotions apart somebody's stealing my heart
Well somebody's kisses are wet on my lip somebody's face is at my fingertips
Somebody's holding me tight in their grips somebody's stealing my heart
There's a thief in my bedroom...
Well somebody's kisses...
Just Divorced lyrics - David Allan Coe
Just divorced was written on the window of the car
It looked like a tombstone parked beside the local bar
Once he'd drove it crazy now he's driven it too far
Just divorced was written on the window of the car
Someone wrote in soap it's over right across the hood
On the door it said good riddance boy I feel good
On the fender were the words I won't be home tonight
And the jukebox in the bar played if you're gonna do me wrong do it right
Laughed so hard I thought now there's a guy who's got some spunk
What a sense of humor it said goodbye on the trunk
Tin cans tied with paper streamers pointing to the bar
Just divorced was written on the window of the car
Just divorced was written...
It looked like a tombstone parked beside the local bar
Once he'd drove it crazy now he's driven it too far
Just divorced was written on the window of the car
Someone wrote in soap it's over right across the hood
On the door it said good riddance boy I feel good
On the fender were the words I won't be home tonight
And the jukebox in the bar played if you're gonna do me wrong do it right
Laughed so hard I thought now there's a guy who's got some spunk
What a sense of humor it said goodbye on the trunk
Tin cans tied with paper streamers pointing to the bar
Just divorced was written on the window of the car
Just divorced was written...
It's Great To Be Single Again lyrics - David Allan Coe
No more dirty dishes in the sink when I come home
I don't have to worry if I'll spend the night alone
I can go to sleep and leave my record player on
You're not there to hear me if I cry
There's no way to say how much your leavin' turned me on
I get so excited when I realize you're gone
You're just like another verse in some old country song
I got tired of singin' long ago
I don't even miss you when I go to bed at night
Gee it's great to know that I'll win each and every fight
No one's arms to hold me after I turn out the light
And I don't even miss you anymore
I don't have to feed the dog or take the garbage out
It don't matter if the neighbors hear me when I shout
Since you're gone there's not much that I have to think about
I'm so happy being all alone
There's no more dirty dishes...
(Lord I feel so good tonight)
(Yeah and it's great to be single again)
I don't have to worry if I'll spend the night alone
I can go to sleep and leave my record player on
You're not there to hear me if I cry
There's no way to say how much your leavin' turned me on
I get so excited when I realize you're gone
You're just like another verse in some old country song
I got tired of singin' long ago
I don't even miss you when I go to bed at night
Gee it's great to know that I'll win each and every fight
No one's arms to hold me after I turn out the light
And I don't even miss you anymore
I don't have to feed the dog or take the garbage out
It don't matter if the neighbors hear me when I shout
Since you're gone there's not much that I have to think about
I'm so happy being all alone
There's no more dirty dishes...
(Lord I feel so good tonight)
(Yeah and it's great to be single again)
Bluegrass Morning lyrics - David Allan Coe
She packed her bags and moved to Florida I've been blue since she's been gone
And this bowling green motel room is now my old Kentucky home
All she left me was some whiskey and these funny cigarettes she rolled
It must have been her main intention to watch our dreams go up in smoke
It's another blue grass morning I'm gonna blow my mind away
In this smoke old motel room looks like it's gonna be another blue grass day
She's soakin' up the sun in Florida I'm smokin' up this motel room
She's sippin' drinks down by the ocean I'm guzzlin' blue Kentucky moon
It's another blue grass morning...
And this bowling green motel room is now my old Kentucky home
All she left me was some whiskey and these funny cigarettes she rolled
It must have been her main intention to watch our dreams go up in smoke
It's another blue grass morning I'm gonna blow my mind away
In this smoke old motel room looks like it's gonna be another blue grass day
She's soakin' up the sun in Florida I'm smokin' up this motel room
She's sippin' drinks down by the ocean I'm guzzlin' blue Kentucky moon
It's another blue grass morning...
I Wanta Know I'm Goin' Home lyrics - David Allan Coe
Well I hope the years that wrinkled up our faces
Have enjoyed us half as much as we did then
And if I should die before you jump your traces
Would you do one more favor for a friend
Remember all my songs and all their meanings
And remember how they helped you to believe
Then turn my body into ashes and take me with you when you leave
Then take my ashes to St Louie
Drop 'em in the Mississippi
Where the current's strong
I wanna flow back through the south land
I want to know I'm going home
Well I ain't plannin' on it happenin'
No time soon now
And it ain't something that I sit around
And think about all the time
But me and you we've howled at
A lot of full moons now
And I'll admit that every now and then
The thought does cross my mind
So take my ashes to St Louie
Drop 'em in the Mississippi
Where the current's strong
I wanna flow back through the southland
I want to know I'm going home
So take my ashes to St Louie
Drop 'em in the Mississippi
Where the current's strong
I wanna flow back through the southland
I want to know I'm going home
Have enjoyed us half as much as we did then
And if I should die before you jump your traces
Would you do one more favor for a friend
Remember all my songs and all their meanings
And remember how they helped you to believe
Then turn my body into ashes and take me with you when you leave
Then take my ashes to St Louie
Drop 'em in the Mississippi
Where the current's strong
I wanna flow back through the south land
I want to know I'm going home
Well I ain't plannin' on it happenin'
No time soon now
And it ain't something that I sit around
And think about all the time
But me and you we've howled at
A lot of full moons now
And I'll admit that every now and then
The thought does cross my mind
So take my ashes to St Louie
Drop 'em in the Mississippi
Where the current's strong
I wanna flow back through the southland
I want to know I'm going home
So take my ashes to St Louie
Drop 'em in the Mississippi
Where the current's strong
I wanna flow back through the southland
I want to know I'm going home
For Your Precious Love lyrics - David Allan Coe
You know when I first started doing this album I thought
All these songs about just gettin' the divorce
And there was one thing I wanted to tell you darlin' darlin'
Before the music stops for me and you and that's what you meant to me
And even thought the divorce is final now
I wanted to sing you this one last love song
Your precious love means more to me than any love could ever be
For when I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue
For that's what love will do
And darlin' (I'm so surprised) oh when I first realized
That you weren't fooling me
And darlin' they say that our love won't grow
But I just want to tell them that they don't know
For as long as you're in love with me our love will grow wider depper than any sea
And of all the things all the things that I want in this whole wide world
Is just for you to say that you'll be my girl
Oooh (wanting you) I'm wanting you (I'm so blue) oh that's what live will do
I gave it a hundred and ten percent of my soul
And I tried everything I could to hold it together
But now that it's over I just wanted you to know
That anytime you have sunshine you're gonna have bad weather
Some people they can handle that and some people can't
Just for the record another chapter in my life
And you were that chapter just divorced
Maybe they should write that on my tombstone darlin'
Would that make you happy then
Your precious love means more...
All these songs about just gettin' the divorce
And there was one thing I wanted to tell you darlin' darlin'
Before the music stops for me and you and that's what you meant to me
And even thought the divorce is final now
I wanted to sing you this one last love song
Your precious love means more to me than any love could ever be
For when I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue
For that's what love will do
And darlin' (I'm so surprised) oh when I first realized
That you weren't fooling me
And darlin' they say that our love won't grow
But I just want to tell them that they don't know
For as long as you're in love with me our love will grow wider depper than any sea
And of all the things all the things that I want in this whole wide world
Is just for you to say that you'll be my girl
Oooh (wanting you) I'm wanting you (I'm so blue) oh that's what live will do
I gave it a hundred and ten percent of my soul
And I tried everything I could to hold it together
But now that it's over I just wanted you to know
That anytime you have sunshine you're gonna have bad weather
Some people they can handle that and some people can't
Just for the record another chapter in my life
And you were that chapter just divorced
Maybe they should write that on my tombstone darlin'
Would that make you happy then
Your precious love means more...
He Will Break Your Heart lyrics - David Allan Coe
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart
Fare thee well, I know you're leavin'
(I know you're leavin')
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart
He uses all the great quotations
Says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play but wait
When the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home
He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart
Whoa, he don't love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart
Fare thee well, I know you're leavin'
(I know you're leavin')
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart
He uses all the great quotations
Says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play but wait
When the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home
He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart
Whoa, he don't love you
Cheap Thrills lyrics - David Allan Coe
They judge a boy by his friends
And all of mine are trash
They say you find your own level
Well I'm a snake in the grass
But I can't help the things I do
I've always been attracted to
Cheap thrills
Don't you know I like
Cheap thrills
Night after night
Cheap thrills
Well if you ain't supposed to do it I will
I got a low reputation
And a bad attitude
Cuz all I want to do is something
That I ain't supposed to do
Well I can't change the things I love
I guess I'm just a victim of
Cheap thrills
Don't you know I like
Cheap thrills
Night after night
Cheap thrills
Well if you ain't supposed to do it, I will
And all of mine are trash
They say you find your own level
Well I'm a snake in the grass
But I can't help the things I do
I've always been attracted to
Cheap thrills
Don't you know I like
Cheap thrills
Night after night
Cheap thrills
Well if you ain't supposed to do it I will
I got a low reputation
And a bad attitude
Cuz all I want to do is something
That I ain't supposed to do
Well I can't change the things I love
I guess I'm just a victim of
Cheap thrills
Don't you know I like
Cheap thrills
Night after night
Cheap thrills
Well if you ain't supposed to do it, I will
Son Of A Rebel Son lyrics - David Allan Coe
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
Son of a rebel son
My grandpa was a rebel back in ‘61
My daddy was the rebel son of a rebel son
My grandpa fought for freedom but he never won
Anything but medals from the War
They gave them to his wife one day
After they took his life away
What did the words on the tomb stone say
Here lies the rebel son
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
Son of a rebel son
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
Son of a rebel son
I said
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
Son of a rebel son
Thank you
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
Son of a rebel son
My grandpa was a rebel back in ‘61
My daddy was the rebel son of a rebel son
My grandpa fought for freedom but he never won
Anything but medals from the War
They gave them to his wife one day
After they took his life away
What did the words on the tomb stone say
Here lies the rebel son
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
Son of a rebel son
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
Son of a rebel son
I said
I am the son of a rebel son
He was a son of a gun
I am the son of a rebel son
Son of a rebel son
Thank you
Castles In The Sand lyrics - David Allan Coe
Yeah, I've seen you face in magazines
Yeah I've read all of those press room queens descriptions
I can't believe the lies they tell
But truth is not the way to sell subscriptions
After all the smoke had cleared away
Did not take me long to find out what you had to say
This is just a game
And I'm glad I finally learned to play
By the rules
Do they think we're fools
They put you down behind my back
Distorting all the honest facts about you
While searching through your lyric sheets
For secret meanings too discreet to doubt you
Isn't it a shame they never heard
They finally wrote you off as really being too absurd
While all the time you sacrificed your rhymes
To find a word they could not see
Hidden in your melodies
Like a tree that could bend with the wind
Like a river that flows around the bend
Like a dream
Like a song
They all cross right or wrong
They just keep on building castles in the sand
Then just like you they told me lies
And offered corporate alibis to change me
My songs were taken through the mill
While managers were hired to rearrange me
They led me to the slaughter like a lamb
I just kept pretending that I did not give a damn
Now this situations gotten too far out of hand
To be real
I don't wanna make a deal
Parasites reach for your heart
Each one must try do their part to drain you
You give them your best autograph
On pictures knowing well they're gonna frame you
Don't you know it happens every time
Little did they know I could read between the line
You told them times were changing
But they did not heed the signs
I'm not that green
Bobby do you know what I mean
I'm Like a tree that can bend with the wind
I'm like a river that flows around the bend
I'm like a dream
Like a song
That I've crossed right or wrong
And I'll just keep on building castles in the sand
They drove me in their limousines
My pockets bursting at the seems with money
They said I could take your place
By putting make up on my face like honey
Now don't you know it chilled me to the bone
They even had the nerve to ask me
if I could re-write like a rolling stone
That's when I told they the should leave my ass alone
Its plan to see
I just wanted to be free
Like a tree that can bend with the wind
Like a river that flows around the bend
Like a dream
Like a song
That I cross right or wrong
And I'll just keep on building castles in the sand
And every song I write my friend
I play it with my band
Yeah I've read all of those press room queens descriptions
I can't believe the lies they tell
But truth is not the way to sell subscriptions
After all the smoke had cleared away
Did not take me long to find out what you had to say
This is just a game
And I'm glad I finally learned to play

Gotta Serve Somebody lyrics - David Allan Coe
You may be an ambassador
To England or France
You might like to gamble
You might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight
Champion of the world
You might be a socialite
With a long string of pearls
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
You might be a rock and roll star
Prancin’ on a stage
Plenty of drugs at your command
Women in a cage
You might be a business man
Or some high D grade thief
They may call you Doctor
They may call you Chief
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
Now you may be a state trooper
You might be a young Turk
You may even be the head of some great big TV network
You may be rich or poor
And you may be blind to change
You may be living in another country under another name
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re still gonna have to serve somebody
May be a construction worker
Workin’ on a home
Might be living in a mansion
You might live in a dome
You may own guns
You may even own tanks
You may be somebody landlord
You may even own banks
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
Now you can call me Jerry
Or you might call me Moe
You may call me David
Or you might call me Coe
You call me RJ
You can call me Ray
You can call me anything
I don’t care what you say
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
You might be a rock and roll star
Prancin’ on a stage
Plenty of drugs at your command
Women in a cage
You might be a business man
Or some high D grade thief
They may call you Doctor
They may call you Chief
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody

Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
It may be the Devil

But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
Serve somebody
Whoa man you’re gonna have to serve someone
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the Devil
Serve somebody
Oh it might be the Lord
Serve somebody

You might be a socialite
With a long string of pearls
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
You might be a rock and roll star
Prancin’ on a stage
Plenty of drugs at your command
Women in a cage
You might be a business man
Or some high D grade thief
They may call you Doctor
They may call you Chief
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
Now you may be a state trooper
You might be a young Turk
You may even be the head of some great big TV network
You may be rich or poor
And you may be blind to change
You may be living in another country under another name
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re still gonna have to serve somebody
May be a construction worker
Workin’ on a home
Might be living in a mansion
You might live in a dome
You may own guns
You may even own tanks
You may be somebody landlord
You may even own banks
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
Now you can call me Jerry
Or you might call me Moe
You may call me David
Or you might call me Coe
You call me RJ
You can call me Ray
You can call me anything
I don’t care what you say
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
You might be a rock and roll star
Prancin’ on a stage
Plenty of drugs at your command
Women in a cage
You might be a business man
Or some high D grade thief
They may call you Doctor
They may call you Chief
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
It may be the Devil
It might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
Serve somebody
Whoa man you’re gonna have to serve someone
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the Devil
Serve somebody
Oh it might be the Lord
Serve somebody
The Ride lyrics - David Allan Coe
Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery had my guitar on my back
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
Now he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow-eyed
Said, "It's a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son?"
Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio
And them sad old songs comin' out of them
Speakers was solid country gold
Then I noticed the stranger was
Ghost-white pale when he asked me for a light
And I knew there was something strange about this ride
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
Then he cried just south of Nashville and he turned that car around
He said, "This is where you get off boy I'm goin' back to Alabam"
As I stepped out of that Cadillac I said, "Mr., many thanks"
He said, "You don't have to call me Mr., Mr.
The whole world called me Hank
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
If you're big star bound let me warn ya it's a long, hard ride
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
Now he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow-eyed
Said, "It's a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son?"
Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio
And them sad old songs comin' out of them

Then I noticed the stranger was

And I knew there was something strange about this ride

I Can't Let You Be A Memory lyrics - David Allan Coe
Spent a lot of time playing the field
Thinkin’ I knew all there was to know
But I never knew that love was real
Till I watched you come and go
There’s been so many women by my side
Most of them just came along for the ride
They all left and I never cried
I think I’m about to
I can’t let you be a memory
You just can’t remain a used to be
I would rather be a fool for you
I’ll do anything you want me to
Girl you let me take your heart and run
Never knowing you’re the only One
And I can’t let you slip away from me
I can’t let you be a memory
There’s been so many scares on this ol’ heart
Piece by piece they’ve torn it apart
But girl what’s left you’ve had from the start
They couldn’t take it away
I can’t let you be a memory
You just can’t remain a used to be
I would rather be a fool for you
I’ll do anything you want me to
Girl you let me take your heart and run
Never knowing you’re the only One
And I can’t let you slip away from me
I can’t let you be a memory
I can’t let you be a memory
You just can’t remain a used to be
I would rather be a fool for you
I’ll do anything you want me to
Thinkin’ I knew all there was to know
But I never knew that love was real
Till I watched you come and go
There’s been so many women by my side
Most of them just came along for the ride
They all left and I never cried
I think I’m about to
I can’t let you be a memory
You just can’t remain a used to be
I would rather be a fool for you
I’ll do anything you want me to
Girl you let me take your heart and run
Never knowing you’re the only One
And I can’t let you slip away from me
I can’t let you be a memory
There’s been so many scares on this ol’ heart
Piece by piece they’ve torn it apart
But girl what’s left you’ve had from the start
They couldn’t take it away
I can’t let you be a memory
You just can’t remain a used to be
I would rather be a fool for you
I’ll do anything you want me to
Girl you let me take your heart and run
Never knowing you’re the only One
And I can’t let you slip away from me
I can’t let you be a memory
I can’t let you be a memory
You just can’t remain a used to be
I would rather be a fool for you
I’ll do anything you want me to
Missin' The Kid lyrics - David Allan Coe
I can’t believe after all of these years I still miss you
Why won’t your memory leave me the same way you did
Taking all but my pride honey one things for certain
Missing you’s nothing compared to missing the kid
She was the light of my life she could brighten the darkness
If not for her we’d have nothing to show for it all
You took what’s left of what once was my reason for livin’
Livin’ without her is no reason for living at all
Someday shell ask you to answer a lot of old questions
What will you tell her about me if she wants to know
She was too young to remember the reason you left me
If you found a reason to tell her I’d sure like to know
I tell myself that it’s all for the best if I don’t try to see her
Seeing her now would not make up for all she’s been through
Watching two people she once called her mother and father
Acting like stranger that’s something I just could not do
I can’t believe after all of these years I still miss you
Why won’t your memory leave me the same way you did
Taking all but my pride one things for certain
Missing you is nothing compared to missing the kid
Why won’t your memory leave me the same way you did
Taking all but my pride honey one things for certain
Missing you’s nothing compared to missing the kid
She was the light of my life she could brighten the darkness
If not for her we’d have nothing to show for it all
You took what’s left of what once was my reason for livin’
Livin’ without her is no reason for living at all
Someday shell ask you to answer a lot of old questions
What will you tell her about me if she wants to know
She was too young to remember the reason you left me
If you found a reason to tell her I’d sure like to know
I tell myself that it’s all for the best if I don’t try to see her
Seeing her now would not make up for all she’s been through
Watching two people she once called her mother and father
Acting like stranger that’s something I just could not do
I can’t believe after all of these years I still miss you
Why won’t your memory leave me the same way you did
Taking all but my pride one things for certain
Missing you is nothing compared to missing the kid
Don't Be A Stranger lyrics - David Allan Coe
Its 5 in the mornin’
And I’ve been waiting up all night
Left with no warning
And baby you know that ain’t right
Don’t be a stranger
We’ve been together much too long
Don’t be a stranger
Come on back where you belong
Its 5 in the morning
Have you found another
Is that the reason I’m alone
Have you found a lover
Is that the reason you’re not home
Don’t be a stranger
We’ve been together much too long
Don’t be a stranger
Come on back where you belong
Have you found another
Until I hear you say you don’t want me
I’ll never be the one to set you free
I sit and I wonder
Have we lost the love we’ve known for years
It’s pullin’ me under
To think I’ll drown in all of tears
Don’t be a stranger
We’ve been together much too long
Don’t be a stranger
Come on back where you belong
6 in the mornin’
You left with no warnin’
I sit and I wonder;
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
8 in the mornin’
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
And I’ve been waiting up all night
Left with no warning
And baby you know that ain’t right
Don’t be a stranger
We’ve been together much too long
Don’t be a stranger
Come on back where you belong
Its 5 in the morning
Have you found another
Is that the reason I’m alone
Have you found a lover
Is that the reason you’re not home
Don’t be a stranger
We’ve been together much too long
Don’t be a stranger
Come on back where you belong
Have you found another
Until I hear you say you don’t want me
I’ll never be the one to set you free
I sit and I wonder
Have we lost the love we’ve known for years
It’s pullin’ me under
To think I’ll drown in all of tears
Don’t be a stranger
We’ve been together much too long
Don’t be a stranger
Come on back where you belong
6 in the mornin’
You left with no warnin’
I sit and I wonder;
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
8 in the mornin’
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Rock And Roll Fever lyrics - David Allan Coe
Oh, Lord, I'll never change,
An' I can't understand,
How you can give a-your body,
To another man.
Whoa, it breaks my heart,
You been fuckin' all of my friends.
It's tearin' me apart,
An' I guess this is where it ends.
You got rock'n'roll fever.
An' you will till the day you die.
I been drinkin' my whiskey,
You been snortin' cocaine.
I been list'nin' to the Grand Ol' Opry,
An' you been list'nin' to Soul Train.
You said the Allman Brother's band,
Wasn't like the Rolling Stones.
Well, you can give your ass to Mick Jagger,
An' leave my ass alone.
You got rock'n'roll fever.
An' you will till the day you die.
An' I can't understand,
How you can give a-your body,
To another man.
Whoa, it breaks my heart,
You been fuckin' all of my friends.
It's tearin' me apart,
An' I guess this is where it ends.
You got rock'n'roll fever.
An' you will till the day you die.
I been drinkin' my whiskey,
You been snortin' cocaine.
I been list'nin' to the Grand Ol' Opry,
An' you been list'nin' to Soul Train.
You said the Allman Brother's band,
Wasn't like the Rolling Stones.
Well, you can give your ass to Mick Jagger,
An' leave my ass alone.
You got rock'n'roll fever.
An' you will till the day you die.
Panheads Forever lyrics - David Allan Coe
She's hard to get started
She's always so cold
In the mornings I find her
She's looking so old
There's so many miles
I've been down that road once or twice
She's not much to look at
When we ride thru town
But I know when the chips fall
She won't let me down
She knows how to run
And she don't run around on her man
She's a high flyin' lady
She takes me where I want to be
There's no other woman
Standing between her and me
I'll always be faithful
And keep her 'til the end of time
God knows I'll always love
That old Panhead of mine
I've seen fancy dressers
And they've caught my eye
I rode'em to ride'em
Then I told them goodbye
I flirted with Low Riders
Sportsters and Shovelheads too
I cussed her and beat her
And kicked her to just get her started
A couple of times
God knows I'll always love
That old Panhead of mine.
She's always so cold
In the mornings I find her
She's looking so old
There's so many miles
I've been down that road once or twice
She's not much to look at
When we ride thru town
But I know when the chips fall
She won't let me down
She knows how to run
And she don't run around on her man
She's a high flyin' lady
She takes me where I want to be
There's no other woman
Standing between her and me
I'll always be faithful
And keep her 'til the end of time
God knows I'll always love
That old Panhead of mine
I've seen fancy dressers
And they've caught my eye
I rode'em to ride'em
Then I told them goodbye
I flirted with Low Riders
Sportsters and Shovelheads too
I cussed her and beat her
And kicked her to just get her started
A couple of times
God knows I'll always love
That old Panhead of mine.
