Doctor try'n' to tell me,
That I'm gettin' low on sap.
I'm in a strange, she's try'n' to drink me in.
I think I got the clap.
Oh, no, that ain't the way I wanna go.
Oh, no, one monkey don't stop no show.
Po-lice try'n' to catch me.
Gonna put my ass in jail.
So it's the end, I got no friends.
An' I'll never make my bail.
Oh, no, that ain't the way I wanna go.
Oh, no, one monkey don't stop no show.
Wa-oww!
Fireman wants to sue me,
Said, "I'll set your ass on fire."
Said, "I'll beat ya, I'll mistreat ya."
He's a fuckin' liar.
Oh, no, one monkey don't stop no show.
Oh, no, that ain't the way I wanna go.
Warden wants to put me,
Said, in the 'lectric chair.
Said, "Good riddance to bad rubbish."
He don't really even care.
Oh, no, that ain't the way I gonna go.
Oh, no, one monkey don't stop no show.
Yeah-aw.
Fireman wants to sue me,
Said, "I'll set your ass on fire."
Said, "I'll beat ya, I'll mistreat ya."
He's a fuckin' liar.
Oh, no, one monkey don't stop no show.
Oh, no, that ain't the way I wanna go.
Warden wants to put me,
In the ee-lectric chair.
Says, "Good riddance to bad rubbish."
He don't really even care.
But oh, no, one monkey don't stop no show.
Oh, no, that ain't the way I'm gonna go.
Wa-oww!
One More Time lyrics - David Allan Coe
Yes I know, 'fore you go, I'm gonna miss you
A good piece of ass is hard to find
Before you leave home, go out on your own
I just
Like to fuck you one more time
One more time
I'd like to stick my pecker in you
Even if it's just a quickie
I won't mind
No I won't get your new white dress dirty, baby
I just
Like to fuck you one more time
There is no need to cry, 'cause you're leavin'
Your mother and me, we ain't blind
We both knew someday, you'll go on your way
And I just
Like to fuck you one more time
One more time
I'd like to stick my pecker in you
Even if it's just a quickie
I won't mind
No I won't get your new white dress dirty, baby
I just
Like to fuck you one more time
Heaven knows that you've been a good daughter, baby
And I just
Like to fuck you one more time
Lord I love even you call me dirty
And I just
Like to fuck you one more time
One more time
A good piece of ass is hard to find
Before you leave home, go out on your own
I just
Like to fuck you one more time
One more time
I'd like to stick my pecker in you
Even if it's just a quickie
I won't mind
No I won't get your new white dress dirty, baby
I just
Like to fuck you one more time
There is no need to cry, 'cause you're leavin'
Your mother and me, we ain't blind
We both knew someday, you'll go on your way
And I just
Like to fuck you one more time
One more time
I'd like to stick my pecker in you
Even if it's just a quickie
I won't mind
No I won't get your new white dress dirty, baby
I just
Like to fuck you one more time
Heaven knows that you've been a good daughter, baby
And I just
Like to fuck you one more time
Lord I love even you call me dirty
And I just
Like to fuck you one more time
One more time
Little Suzzie Shallow Throat lyrics - David Allan Coe
Little Susie Shallow Throat was lonely
All the girls all made fun of her at school
'Cause no matter how she tried
She could not get a dick inside
Her shallow throat
Shallow throat
Hot Dogs and bananas were too big
Cucumbers and sausages
They just would not fit
She tried 'em all
The football team all tried to give her lessons
She practiced but she threw up on the coach
Not one man on the squad
Ever shot his wad in Susie's throat
Shallow throat
Hot Dogs and bananas were too big
Cucumbers and sausages
They just would not fit
She tried 'em all
The drum major was a boy named Slick
Who had a very little bitty dick
She licked it sucked and stroked it
'Til Slick thought she might choke
He never knew
She had a shallow throat
Hot Dogs and bananas were too big
Cucumbers and sausages
They just would not fit
She tried 'em all
She finally learned to deep throat after all
Since she met Slick she’s really had a ball
But Slick he’s kind of lonesome
With Susie and the kid
'Cause though his dick just fits her throat
Her pussy’s much too big
All the girls all made fun of her at school
'Cause no matter how she tried
She could not get a dick inside
Her shallow throat
Shallow throat
Hot Dogs and bananas were too big
Cucumbers and sausages
They just would not fit
She tried 'em all
The football team all tried to give her lessons
She practiced but she threw up on the coach
Not one man on the squad
Ever shot his wad in Susie's throat
Shallow throat
Hot Dogs and bananas were too big
Cucumbers and sausages
They just would not fit
She tried 'em all
The drum major was a boy named Slick
Who had a very little bitty dick
She licked it sucked and stroked it
'Til Slick thought she might choke
He never knew
She had a shallow throat
Hot Dogs and bananas were too big
Cucumbers and sausages
They just would not fit
She tried 'em all
She finally learned to deep throat after all
Since she met Slick she’s really had a ball
But Slick he’s kind of lonesome
With Susie and the kid
'Cause though his dick just fits her throat
Her pussy’s much too big
Pick Em, Lick Em, Stick Em lyrics - David Allan Coe
I was 15 goin' on 20 when I met up with this old man
He was quite a lover of the cards and of the dice
He had whores and he had ladies, he made love and he made babies
He could tell some damn good stories and give some good advice
[Chorus:]
You gotta learn how to pick 'em son, learn how to lick 'em son,
Learn how to stick 'em son between the thighs.
You gotta try not to beat 'em too much, try not to teach 'em too much,
Try not to feed 'em too much bullshit and lies.
He'd sit down and pour some whiskey, then he'd mix it up with water.
Here's a picture of my daughter he would say, then he would sigh.
Then he'd drink and laugh a little, as he picked up that old fiddle.
That same old riddle, I never did know why.
[Chorus]
Now the years have seen him buried, his daughter and me married.
I was sure he raised her right and taught her how to fuck.
When I asked her what he told her, she said he'd never scold her.
He would always hold her, but he never told her much.
But he told her men were plain and simple. He told her love was like a pimple.
Once you squeeze the juices out, it just goes away.
He taught her how to hold on tighter, and he taught her not to let men fight her.
Then there was this poem he taught her on his dying day.
You got to learn how to suck 'em daughter, learn how to fuck 'em daughter.
Learn how to take their money, learn how to cry.
You got to try not to hold 'em too much, try not to scold 'em too much.
Try not to feed 'em too much bullshit and lies.
[Chorus]
He was quite a lover of the cards and of the dice
He had whores and he had ladies, he made love and he made babies
He could tell some damn good stories and give some good advice
[Chorus:]
You gotta learn how to pick 'em son, learn how to lick 'em son,
Learn how to stick 'em son between the thighs.
You gotta try not to beat 'em too much, try not to teach 'em too much,
Try not to feed 'em too much bullshit and lies.
He'd sit down and pour some whiskey, then he'd mix it up with water.

Don't Bite The Dick lyrics - David Allan Coe
Don't bite the dick that fucks you honey
You gotta learn to suck it funny
How those dicks taste all like rubber
Covered with goo
Some cums clear and some cums milky
Some cums thick and some cums silky
Don't bit the dick that fucks you honey
and it'll be good to you.
Momma be proud of your daughter
Think of all the things you taught her
Not to go into the water till she could swim
how to cook and how to sew
what other things you know
You should have taught her about sex
that it was not a sin
you should have said
don't bit the dick that fucks you honey
you gotta learn to suck it funny
how those dicks all taste like rubber
covered with goo
some cums clear and some cums milky
some cums thick and some cums silky
don't bit the dick that fucks you honey
it'll be good to you
you should have taught her how to suck one
if you'da taught her how to fuck one
maybe she'd a never snuck one when you wasn't home
you could have taught her not to fight it
you could have taught her not to bit it
you could have taight her wrong from right
but you left her on her own
You should have said
don't bite the dick that fucks you honey
you gotta learn to suck it funny
how those dicks all taste like rubber
covered with goo
some cums clear and some cums milky
some cums thick and some cums silky
don't bite the dick that fucks you honey
it'll be good to you
don't bite the dick that fucks you honey
you gotta learn to suck it funny
how those dicks all taste like rubber
covered in goo some cums clear and some cums milky
some cums thick and some cums silky
don't bite the dick that fucks you honey
it'll be good to you
You gotta learn to suck it funny
How those dicks taste all like rubber
Covered with goo
Some cums clear and some cums milky
Some cums thick and some cums silky
Don't bit the dick that fucks you honey
and it'll be good to you.
Momma be proud of your daughter

Rose Knows lyrics - David Allan Coe
I told you from the start I couldn't give you my heart it belonged to someone else
I tried like hell but still we fell I guess we could not help ourselves
You sure felt good in my world little girl but it's time to draw the line
Cause there's a lady who's mine and she's not the kind to just die upon the vine
Rose knows something's going on Rose knows she's spending too much time alone
I suppose better get myself back home Rose knows something's going on
I'd love to stay here and lay down with you dear and hold you one more time
I wish it could be but unfortunately I've got roses on my mind
Rose knows something's going on...
Rose knows something's going on...
I tried like hell but still we fell I guess we could not help ourselves
You sure felt good in my world little girl but it's time to draw the line
Cause there's a lady who's mine and she's not the kind to just die upon the vine
Rose knows something's going on Rose knows she's spending too much time alone
I suppose better get myself back home Rose knows something's going on
I'd love to stay here and lay down with you dear and hold you one more time
I wish it could be but unfortunately I've got roses on my mind
Rose knows something's going on...
Rose knows something's going on...
Ain't It Funny The Way Love Can Do Ya lyrics - David Allan Coe
She had good intentions and I had the same
She kept the baby and left me the blame
We both had our reasons but they weren't the same
Ain't it funny the way love can do ya
We made a promise we'd never break up our home
Or ever find reasons for leaving each other alone but we did
Once we were stangers then we were friends
Next we were lovers now we're strangers again
Ain't it funny the way love can do ya but it did
I had good intentions and she had the same
She kept the heartaches and left me the shame
We both have our mem'ries but they're not the same
Ain't it funny the way love can do ya
We made a promise...
She kept the baby and left me the blame
We both had our reasons but they weren't the same
Ain't it funny the way love can do ya
We made a promise we'd never break up our home
Or ever find reasons for leaving each other alone but we did
Once we were stangers then we were friends
Next we were lovers now we're strangers again
Ain't it funny the way love can do ya but it did
I had good intentions and she had the same
She kept the heartaches and left me the shame
We both have our mem'ries but they're not the same
Ain't it funny the way love can do ya
We made a promise...
If You Ever Think Of Me At All lyrics - David Allan Coe
You said you were loving me you said I could never see
The forest for the trees where you're concerned
Just another game you've lost and just another stream you'll cross
And just another bridge you'll have to burn
So you're on your way to Texas girl you're Amarillo bound
You told me when I picked you up someday you'd let me down
If you ever think to write me if you ever think to call
If you ever think of me at all if you ever think of me at all
But you won't think about me much and you won't even miss my touch
And you won't ever see my face at night
You are so intent on losing that's the kind of life you're choosing
Now you've got me much too weak to fight
So you're on your way to Texas...
If you ever think of me at all
The forest for the trees where you're concerned
Just another game you've lost and just another stream you'll cross
And just another bridge you'll have to burn
So you're on your way to Texas girl you're Amarillo bound
You told me when I picked you up someday you'd let me down
If you ever think to write me if you ever think to call
If you ever think of me at all if you ever think of me at all
But you won't think about me much and you won't even miss my touch
And you won't ever see my face at night
You are so intent on losing that's the kind of life you're choosing
Now you've got me much too weak to fight
So you're on your way to Texas...
If you ever think of me at all
The Purple Heart lyrics - David Allan Coe
I should get the purple heart for loving you after all the pain you put me through
When they start passing medals out to fools I will get the purple heart for loving you
There was nothing in the headlines to day you won the war
The one and only casually was me
You put me out of action so many times before
And left me on this battlefield to bleed
And I should get the purple heart...
No one knows that I'm a hero there's no medals on my chest
All my wounds are hidden deep inside
I volunteered to love you hoping for the best
But all you ever done was cheat and lie
I should get the purple heart...
I should get the purple heart...
When they start passing medals out to fools I will get the purple heart for loving you
There was nothing in the headlines to day you won the war
The one and only casually was me
You put me out of action so many times before
And left me on this battlefield to bleed
And I should get the purple heart...
No one knows that I'm a hero there's no medals on my chest
All my wounds are hidden deep inside
I volunteered to love you hoping for the best
But all you ever done was cheat and lie
I should get the purple heart...
I should get the purple heart...
London Homesick Blues lyrics - David Allan Coe
Well when you're down on your luck
And you ain't got a buck in London you're a goner
Even London Bridge has fallen down and moved to Arizona
Now I know why and I'll substantiate the rumor
That the English sense of humor
Is drier than the Texas sand
You can put up your dukes or you can bet your boots
But I'm leavin' as fast as I can
I want to go home with Armadillo
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
Well it's cold over here Lord I swear I wish they'd turn the heat on
And where in the world is that English girl
I promised I would meet on the third floor
And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got
Is a smoke and a cheap guitar
My mind keeps rollin'
And my heart keeps yearnin' to be home in Texas bar
I want to go home with Armadillo...
Well I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat
And go down to Marble Arch Station
Cause when a Texas fancies he'll take his chances
Chances will be taken that's for sure
And them Limey eyes they were eyin' the prize
Some people call manly footwear
And they said you're from down south
And when you open your mouth
Son you always seem to put your foot there
I want to go home with Armadillo...
I want to go home with Armadillo...
And you ain't got a buck in London you're a goner
Even London Bridge has fallen down and moved to Arizona
Now I know why and I'll substantiate the rumor
That the English sense of humor
Is drier than the Texas sand
You can put up your dukes or you can bet your boots
But I'm leavin' as fast as I can
I want to go home with Armadillo
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
Well it's cold over here Lord I swear I wish they'd turn the heat on
And where in the world is that English girl
I promised I would meet on the third floor
And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got
Is a smoke and a cheap guitar
My mind keeps rollin'
And my heart keeps yearnin' to be home in Texas bar
I want to go home with Armadillo...
Well I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat
And go down to Marble Arch Station
Cause when a Texas fancies he'll take his chances
Chances will be taken that's for sure
And them Limey eyes they were eyin' the prize
Some people call manly footwear
And they said you're from down south
And when you open your mouth
Son you always seem to put your foot there
I want to go home with Armadillo...
I want to go home with Armadillo...
Stand By Your Man lyrics - David Allan Coe
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him be proud of him cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to when nights're cold and lonely
Stand by your man and tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can stand by your man
Well honey that's the only way that daddy knows how to answer your question
I knew when your mama passed away that someday I have to explain the things to you
That might make me and you both feel unconfortable
So I thought that the best thing to do
Is to sing you this song your mama used to sing
I hope that you will understand cause she did stand by her man
Stand by your man...
Stand by your man...
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him be proud of him cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to when nights're cold and lonely
Stand by your man and tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can stand by your man
Well honey that's the only way that daddy knows how to answer your question
I knew when your mama passed away that someday I have to explain the things to you
That might make me and you both feel unconfortable
So I thought that the best thing to do
Is to sing you this song your mama used to sing
I hope that you will understand cause she did stand by her man
Stand by your man...
Stand by your man...
As Far As This Feeling Will Take Us lyrics - David Allan Coe (duet with Karen Brooks)
You're layin' here with me we're holding each other it feels good so it must be right
You've touched me into thinking this could go on forever
I don't care if forever is just for tonight
Let's go as far as this feeling will take us we've never been there together before
Let's go as far as this feeling will take us
And I've got a feeling we'll come back for more
I'm like a forest and you're like a wildfire that's spreading all over me
Baby come with me let's go to heaven
At moments like this girl that's where we should be
Let's go as far as this feeling...
For that kind of feeling we'll come back for me
You've touched me into thinking this could go on forever
I don't care if forever is just for tonight
Let's go as far as this feeling will take us we've never been there together before
Let's go as far as this feeling will take us
And I've got a feeling we'll come back for more
I'm like a forest and you're like a wildfire that's spreading all over me
Baby come with me let's go to heaven
At moments like this girl that's where we should be
Let's go as far as this feeling...
For that kind of feeling we'll come back for me
Someplace To Come When It Rains lyrics - David Allan Coe
The lady you see me with now and again in this dimly lit hideway place
With eyes deep as midnight and smooth golden skin
And that warm look of love on her face
And you say ain't he lucky just look at those eyes
She's worth any price you can name
And you think that she's mine but you don't realize
I'm just someplace to come when it rains
Someplace to hide when she's tired of the ride just someone to soften my pain
Lord knows where she plays on her warm sunny days
I'm just someplace to come when she can't find the sun
Just someplace to come when it rains
The lady she dances so close in your arms you swear she can float you away
And gives you the feeling you're safe from all harm
Just as long as she holds you that way
And I can't say it's wrong cause I've known all along
That her lovin' is worth all the pain
So whenever she leads I'll be there when she needs someplace to come when it rains
Someplace to hide when she's tired...
With eyes deep as midnight and smooth golden skin
And that warm look of love on her face
And you say ain't he lucky just look at those eyes
She's worth any price you can name
And you think that she's mine but you don't realize
I'm just someplace to come when it rains
Someplace to hide when she's tired of the ride just someone to soften my pain
Lord knows where she plays on her warm sunny days
I'm just someplace to come when she can't find the sun
Just someplace to come when it rains
The lady she dances so close in your arms you swear she can float you away
And gives you the feeling you're safe from all harm
Just as long as she holds you that way
And I can't say it's wrong cause I've known all along
That her lovin' is worth all the pain
So whenever she leads I'll be there when she needs someplace to come when it rains
Someplace to hide when she's tired...
The Best Game In Town lyrics - David Allan Coe (duet with Karen Brooks)
[David Allan Coe:]
I was just warming up to this long-legged girl,
With intentions to please.
[Karen Brooks:]
My blood started rushin',
As he laid his hand on my knee.
[Coe:]
By the look in her eyes,
I thought she'd be easy.
As she smiled and told me her name,
Then she said,
[Brooks:]
I've been here before,
And I know the rules to this game.
I've tried to be cunning.
[Coe:]
I've tried to act naturally mean.
[Brooks:]
You gotta take what fate deals you.
[Coe:]
Maybe this time she's dealt me a queen.
[Both:]
And if you play your cards right,
You'll be with me tonight.
And in the morning you'll still be there.
Play 'em wrong and you'll be sitting,
Across from a cold, empty chair.
[Brooks:]
I sure hope you've got what I need,
So I don't have to look anymore.
[Coe:]
I ain't no king, girl.
[Brooks:]
Well, I've held some jokers before!
[Both:]
As long as we are able,
To lay our cards on the table,
There's no need to shuffle around.
We know how we feel, let's go on and deal.
This looks like the best game in town.
We know how we feel, let's go on and deal.
This looks like the best game in town.
You cut my heart like the cards on the table.
You know the game, do you know the rules?
I'd let you win if I were able.
But how can you win when it's love you'll lose.
I was just warming up to this long-legged girl,
With intentions to please.
[Karen Brooks:]
My blood started rushin',
As he laid his hand on my knee.
[Coe:]
By the look in her eyes,
I thought she'd be easy.
As she smiled and told me her name,
Then she said,
[Brooks:]
I've been here before,
And I know the rules to this game.
I've tried to be cunning.
[Coe:]
I've tried to act naturally mean.
[Brooks:]
You gotta take what fate deals you.
[Coe:]
Maybe this time she's dealt me a queen.
[Both:]
And if you play your cards right,
You'll be with me tonight.
And in the morning you'll still be there.
Play 'em wrong and you'll be sitting,
Across from a cold, empty chair.
[Brooks:]
I sure hope you've got what I need,
So I don't have to look anymore.
[Coe:]
I ain't no king, girl.
[Brooks:]
Well, I've held some jokers before!
[Both:]
As long as we are able,
To lay our cards on the table,
There's no need to shuffle around.
We know how we feel, let's go on and deal.
This looks like the best game in town.
We know how we feel, let's go on and deal.
This looks like the best game in town.
You cut my heart like the cards on the table.
You know the game, do you know the rules?
I'd let you win if I were able.
But how can you win when it's love you'll lose.
I Love Robbin' Banks lyrics - David Allan Coe
Just keep the motor runnin' this won't take very long
By the time the police get here we'll be already gone
We've got to leave 'em hangin' we can't leave 'em no clues
Just take the money and run
Lord I love robbin' banks Lord I love robbin' banks
I always tell the teller thanks Lord I love robbin' banks
I like to holler stick up when I walk through the door
It lets 'em know their safe just isn't safe anymore
I like to see their faces when I show them my gun then take the money and run
Lord I love robbin' banks...
Five'll get you ten she'll push the burglar system
Ten'll get you twenty years on some prison farm
The first thing that I do is make 'em lay on the floor then take the money and run
Lord I love robbin' banks...
Lord I love robbin' banks...
By the time the police get here we'll be already gone
We've got to leave 'em hangin' we can't leave 'em no clues
Just take the money and run
Lord I love robbin' banks Lord I love robbin' banks
I always tell the teller thanks Lord I love robbin' banks
I like to holler stick up when I walk through the door
It lets 'em know their safe just isn't safe anymore
I like to see their faces when I show them my gun then take the money and run
Lord I love robbin' banks...
Five'll get you ten she'll push the burglar system
Ten'll get you twenty years on some prison farm
The first thing that I do is make 'em lay on the floor then take the money and run
Lord I love robbin' banks...
Lord I love robbin' banks...
I've Got Something To Say lyrics - David Allan Coe
I've got something to say, boys
I've got something to say
Just as soon as I can find a way, boys
I've got something to say.
I was standing in a ally one dark lonely night
There were three or four shotguns wanting to fight
Now me and the devil we were seeing the light
Looking for someplace to run
And I said I've got something to say boys
I've got something to say
Just as soon as I can find a way boys
I've got something to say
I caught with a couple of friends
I was just slipping out, they was just slipping in
I was too hurt to laugh, I was to sick to grin
Watching the woman I love
The cop at the gate swore I was insane
Cause me and my pistol tried boarding a plane
Now we were both loaded and its hard to explain
How wed ever gotten that far
I was the first one to get the last laugh
When they said my son was to old for the draft
That's when the government gave me the shaft
Drafted my daughter instead!
I've got something to say
Just as soon as I can find a way, boys
I've got something to say.
I was standing in a ally one dark lonely night
There were three or four shotguns wanting to fight
Now me and the devil we were seeing the light
Looking for someplace to run
And I said I've got something to say boys
I've got something to say
Just as soon as I can find a way boys
I've got something to say
I caught with a couple of friends
I was just slipping out, they was just slipping in
I was too hurt to laugh, I was to sick to grin
Watching the woman I love
The cop at the gate swore I was insane
Cause me and my pistol tried boarding a plane
Now we were both loaded and its hard to explain
How wed ever gotten that far
I was the first one to get the last laugh
When they said my son was to old for the draft
That's when the government gave me the shaft
Drafted my daughter instead!
Back To Atlanta lyrics - David Allan Coe
If she knew that I was here with you
There ain't no doubt about what she would do
So lets get dressed and I'll be on my way
You knew that I was passing through
I never meant to stay.
And I think id better go back to atlanta
Before my conscience makes a fool of me
I never should have stepped across loves mason dixon line
And I think its time to go back to atlanta
I've been on the road for a long long time
She was out of sight and out of mind
But she still wears my ring upon her hand
All that I could be to you is
Just a one night stand
There ain't no doubt about what she would do
So lets get dressed and I'll be on my way
You knew that I was passing through
I never meant to stay.
And I think id better go back to atlanta
Before my conscience makes a fool of me
I never should have stepped across loves mason dixon line
And I think its time to go back to atlanta
I've been on the road for a long long time
She was out of sight and out of mind
But she still wears my ring upon her hand
All that I could be to you is
Just a one night stand
I Could Never Give You Up lyrics - David Allan Coe
Don't you ever doubt my love
Cause you fit me like a glove
And I could never give you up for someone else
Honey, I wont do you wrong
And I've been loving you to long
And I could never give you up for someone else
When it comes to loving, honey
You can sure put out the flame
No other woman ever could
Now ain't that a shame
You lay heavy on my mind
You're the best love I could find
And I could never give you up for someone else
If you ever have to go
Honey, please don't let me know
Cause I could never give you up for someone else
Cause you fit me like a glove
And I could never give you up for someone else
Honey, I wont do you wrong
And I've been loving you to long
And I could never give you up for someone else
When it comes to loving, honey
You can sure put out the flame
No other woman ever could
Now ain't that a shame
You lay heavy on my mind
You're the best love I could find
And I could never give you up for someone else
If you ever have to go
Honey, please don't let me know
Cause I could never give you up for someone else
Take It Easy Rider lyrics - David Allan Coe
Take it easy rider you can make it easy rider
There's no one to stop you, doesn't it look easy rider now?
Take it easy rider you can make it easy rider
There's no one to stop you, doesn't it look easy rider now?
Well I saw my first rodeo in amarillo, texas
Busting broncos is more than just a way to make a living
Horses were like women, they were fast and fancy free
I saw shirley stoker up in pan head west virginia
Her and connie shovelhead was standing in the rain
Both of them were dressers, lord they sure were looking pretty
Motorcycle fever has almost drove me insane
Eighteen were rollin when I climbed up in that ken worth
Me oh my, that semi was the apple of my eye
Horses, trucks and motorcycles sure makes life worth living
Hope I never see the day I kiss them all good bye
There's no one to stop you, doesn't it look easy rider now?
Take it easy rider you can make it easy rider
There's no one to stop you, doesn't it look easy rider now?
Well I saw my first rodeo in amarillo, texas
Busting broncos is more than just a way to make a living
Horses were like women, they were fast and fancy free
I saw shirley stoker up in pan head west virginia
Her and connie shovelhead was standing in the rain
Both of them were dressers, lord they sure were looking pretty
Motorcycle fever has almost drove me insane
Eighteen were rollin when I climbed up in that ken worth
Me oh my, that semi was the apple of my eye
Horses, trucks and motorcycles sure makes life worth living
Hope I never see the day I kiss them all good bye
The Great Nashville Railroad Disaster lyrics - David Allan Coe
one sultry summer morning in the year of 1918
three hundred men with ebony skin
pulled out of union station
heading out of nashville for western tennessee
homeward bound cause uncle sam closed down
the munitions factory.
at that very moment on the cheatham county line
old number one train from memphis
was running way behind
back in the smokey club car a memphis gambling man
said gentleman, I'm folding these cards
cause I drew a dead mans hand!
a young man in a milk truck out near dutchman's grade
said oh my god two trains one track
then he closed his eyes and he prayed
a sister from the orphans home made a cross upon her chest
cause a one iron beast was coming from the east
and another one was coming from the west
the bird flew from the tree tops as the impact shook the ground
the screaming wheels and the grinding steel
could be heard for miles around
now every july 9th a few miles west of town
to this day some folks say
you can hear that mournful sound
three hundred men with ebony skin
pulled out of union station
heading out of nashville for western tennessee
homeward bound cause uncle sam closed down
the munitions factory.
at that very moment on the cheatham county line
old number one train from memphis
was running way behind
back in the smokey club car a memphis gambling man
said gentleman, I'm folding these cards
cause I drew a dead mans hand!
a young man in a milk truck out near dutchman's grade
said oh my god two trains one track
then he closed his eyes and he prayed
a sister from the orphans home made a cross upon her chest
cause a one iron beast was coming from the east
and another one was coming from the west
the bird flew from the tree tops as the impact shook the ground
the screaming wheels and the grinding steel
could be heard for miles around
now every july 9th a few miles west of town
to this day some folks say
you can hear that mournful sound
Hank Williams Junior-Junior lyrics - David Allan Coe
I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Even though I know what all his daddy done before
Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4
And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Just a little bit of Waylon sure goes a long way
But old Tex Ritter rode his horse and that was hell to pay
Willie said,"Don't nobody lay a hand on the bay
Jimmie Rodgers is the only reason that I'm standin' here today"
And I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Even though I know what all his daddy done before
Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4
And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Dickey betts
Hank sang it all right from the heart, took the whole world by surprise
Stood right next to Elvis in Memphis and looked him straight in the eyes
Ten years later young Bocephus busted through the door
And I just can't call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Even though I know what all his daddy done before
Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4
And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
From Alabama young Bocephus busted through the door
And I just can't call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Even though I know what all his daddy done before
Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4
And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Just a little bit of Waylon sure goes a long way
But old Tex Ritter rode his horse and that was hell to pay
Willie said,"Don't nobody lay a hand on the bay
Jimmie Rodgers is the only reason that I'm standin' here today"
And I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Even though I know what all his daddy done before
Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4
And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore

And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
From Alabama young Bocephus busted through the door

Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands lyrics - David Allan Coe
When I was a little boy daddy used to say to me, son,
We got a lot of land, we got a lot of work to be done
Go get your marbles, put'em in the house
Tear down your castles in the sand
Come with your poppy to the cotton patch
Get a little dirt on your hands
Get a little dirt on your hands, son
If your gonna grow up to be a big big man
A little dirt on your hands
Well I reached twenty one and I thought I was a pretty big wheel
I left the country for the city, met a slicker with a shady deal
He said hold up the bank boy and take all the money
And run as fast as you can
The only way you'll ever get along in this world
Is to get a little dirt on your hands
Get a little dirt on your hands
Well its four in the morning' and the warden is calling' my name
He said he's teaching' me a lesson now he's making' me go work in the rain
Dig that ditch boy fill it up
I'm wanting' you to understand
The only way to straighten out a guy like you
Is to get a little dirt on your hands
Get a little dirt on your hands
Hey david got to get a little dirt on those hands boy
Yeah if you want to grow up to be a big big man
You better remember what old whispering bill told you in this song
Get a little dirt on those hands
We got a lot of land, we got a lot of work to be done
Go get your marbles, put'em in the house
Tear down your castles in the sand
Come with your poppy to the cotton patch
Get a little dirt on your hands
Get a little dirt on your hands, son
If your gonna grow up to be a big big man
A little dirt on your hands
Well I reached twenty one and I thought I was a pretty big wheel
I left the country for the city, met a slicker with a shady deal
He said hold up the bank boy and take all the money
And run as fast as you can
The only way you'll ever get along in this world
Is to get a little dirt on your hands
Get a little dirt on your hands
Well its four in the morning' and the warden is calling' my name
He said he's teaching' me a lesson now he's making' me go work in the rain
Dig that ditch boy fill it up
I'm wanting' you to understand
The only way to straighten out a guy like you
Is to get a little dirt on your hands
Get a little dirt on your hands
Hey david got to get a little dirt on those hands boy
Yeah if you want to grow up to be a big big man
You better remember what old whispering bill told you in this song
Get a little dirt on those hands
If You'll Hold The Ladder lyrics - David Allan Coe
Baby your the only dream I've ever had come true
There's so much more to reach for thanks to you
Now I can climb this mountain, babe, there was a time id stop
If you'll just hold the ladder baby I'll climb to the top
If you'll just stand beside me all the way
I'll do all the things that didn't matter yesterday, hey
And I'll be everything this man can be before I stop
If you'll just hold the ladder baby I'll climb to the top
Things just started changing with your touch
There's so much more to reach for thanks to you
Now I can climb this mountain, babe, there was a time id stop
If you'll just hold the ladder baby I'll climb to the top
If you'll just stand beside me all the way
I'll do all the things that didn't matter yesterday, hey
And I'll be everything this man can be before I stop
If you'll just hold the ladder baby I'll climb to the top
Things just started changing with your touch
This Bottle lyrics - David Allan Coe
Last week he spent his whole pay check on whiskey
I know friday night he'll do it all again
Oh he'll drink till he falls down
Then he'll order one more round
And then go home with that bottle in his hand
And the only thing I can hold on to
Is this bottle in my hand
I know I'll never have to share it
With any other man
I'm so glad you introduced us
And I'll do the best I can
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand
She told george that changing diapers
Could sure become a drag
And to clean the house and cook for him
Was not her kind of bag
She said she needed someone
Who would love and understand
Then she left him with that bottle in his hand
And the only thing I can hold on to
Is this bottle in my hand
I know I'll never have to share it
With any other man
I'm so glad you introduced us
And I'll do the best I can
I know friday night he'll do it all again
Oh he'll drink till he falls down
Then he'll order one more round
And then go home with that bottle in his hand
And the only thing I can hold on to
Is this bottle in my hand
I know I'll never have to share it
With any other man
I'm so glad you introduced us
And I'll do the best I can
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand
She told george that changing diapers
Could sure become a drag
And to clean the house and cook for him
Was not her kind of bag
She said she needed someone
Who would love and understand
Then she left him with that bottle in his hand
And the only thing I can hold on to
Is this bottle in my hand
I know I'll never have to share it
With any other man
I'm so glad you introduced us
And I'll do the best I can
Take This Job And Shove It lyrics - David Allan Coe
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Well, I've been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends women
Drownin' in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back
If I had the guts to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman's done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
The foreman is a regular S.O.B.
And the night boss, he's a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he really thinks that's cool
One of these days I'm gonna blow my top
And that's shockin', he's gonna pay it
Well I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Well, I've been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends women
Drownin' in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'

Rollin With The Punches lyrics - David Allan Coe
Lord, I've been talkin when I should have listened
Listening when I should have spoke
Lighting a match to old memories
Sending them all up in smoke
Singing with no one to hear me
Fighting my way to the top
Rolling with all of the punches
Wondering if they'd ever stop
Tearing down walls built in prison
Building up dreams that wont last
Finding the bridges I'm burning
Harder to hide than the past
Making the future look brighter
Fighting my way to the top
Rolling with all of the punches
Wondering if they'd ever stop
Laughing at jokes that aren't funny
Blaming it all on the blues
Taking my chances for freedom
Betting with nothing to lose
Winning on nothing but hunches
Fighting my way to the top
Rolling with all of the punches
Wondering if they'd ever stop
Rolling with all of the punches
Lord, how I wish they would stop!
Listening when I should have spoke
Lighting a match to old memories
Sending them all up in smoke
Singing with no one to hear me
Fighting my way to the top
Rolling with all of the punches
Wondering if they'd ever stop
Tearing down walls built in prison
Building up dreams that wont last
Finding the bridges I'm burning
Harder to hide than the past
Making the future look brighter
Fighting my way to the top
Rolling with all of the punches
Wondering if they'd ever stop
Laughing at jokes that aren't funny
Blaming it all on the blues
Taking my chances for freedom
Betting with nothing to lose
Winning on nothing but hunches
Fighting my way to the top
Rolling with all of the punches
Wondering if they'd ever stop
Rolling with all of the punches
Lord, how I wish they would stop!
On My Feet Again lyrics - David Allan Coe
I spent a lifetime in prison believing id never get over the fall
Busted for first degree I was to blind to see who was to blame for it all
Some said the devil, but god only knows if I put my future in him
Other folks bet that id never get on my feet again
Running and jumping free as a bird just like a child left to play
Freedom was one more thing I took for granted until they took it away
Marriages breakup and some people take up drinking to make them forget
Both of them swearing, neither one caring wishing that they never met
Taking the child away, who cares what children say until they turn into men
Someday you'll see I'm gonna be on my feet again
And I left my stomach in Houston on some surgeons knife but I sleep though it all
In the recovery room fate dealt the cards to soon taking my legs in the fall
Wheel chairs turn into canes till I learned to walk places that I've never been
Now that im free its good to be on my feet again
Busted for first degree I was to blind to see who was to blame for it all
Some said the devil, but god only knows if I put my future in him
Other folks bet that id never get on my feet again
Running and jumping free as a bird just like a child left to play
Freedom was one more thing I took for granted until they took it away
Marriages breakup and some people take up drinking to make them forget
Both of them swearing, neither one caring wishing that they never met
Taking the child away, who cares what children say until they turn into men
Someday you'll see I'm gonna be on my feet again
And I left my stomach in Houston on some surgeons knife but I sleep though it all
In the recovery room fate dealt the cards to soon taking my legs in the fall
Wheel chairs turn into canes till I learned to walk places that I've never been
Now that im free its good to be on my feet again
Fall In Love With You lyrics - David Allan Coe
If I ever needed love, I need it now
Honey, why cant you see me through me
When I pretend that I'm to strong to bend?
This heart can mend a lover or a friend
Stop acting like you never knew me.
How you fantasize, telling little lies
Fairy tales are all you ever see
Don't you realize how you hypnotize
Anyone who's fool enough to look back into your eyes?
And fall in love with you
If I ever wanted someone babe I need you now
Please don't place your self above me
Just out of reach when you could learn to teach
Me to begin loving you again
Why are you doing this to me?
Honey, why cant you see me through me
When I pretend that I'm to strong to bend?
This heart can mend a lover or a friend
Stop acting like you never knew me.
How you fantasize, telling little lies
Fairy tales are all you ever see
Don't you realize how you hypnotize
Anyone who's fool enough to look back into your eyes?
And fall in love with you
If I ever wanted someone babe I need you now
Please don't place your self above me
Just out of reach when you could learn to teach
Me to begin loving you again
Why are you doing this to me?
What Can I Do lyrics - David Allan Coe
I never made it back to Boston
Vie always been a rambling man
But by the time I got to phoenix
She didn't quite fit in my plans
I lost my heart in San Francisco
And found it in the streets of Baltimore.
There must be someone wanting true love
Could it be you?
Hey vie got so much inside me to give
What can I do?
It seemed that rachel's wings got colder
She finally crossed loves cheating line
She fell for some young Dallas cowboy
Hey I never saw the danger signs
Whiskey and women was my weakness
Jack Daniels let me down again.
Vie always been a rambling man
But by the time I got to phoenix
She didn't quite fit in my plans
I lost my heart in San Francisco
And found it in the streets of Baltimore.
There must be someone wanting true love
Could it be you?
Hey vie got so much inside me to give
What can I do?
It seemed that rachel's wings got colder
She finally crossed loves cheating line
She fell for some young Dallas cowboy
Hey I never saw the danger signs
Whiskey and women was my weakness
Jack Daniels let me down again.
Sudden Death lyrics - David Allan Coe
Sudden death, that's what you are
Loving you is like riding in a speeding car
They're fun to drive until you drive em to far
Sudden death, that's what you are!
The way you love me, my heart starts to pumping
Just like a rabbit, hon, you really got me jumping
You must be out for blood the way that you've been humping
I'm just like putty in your hands!
Your kiss of love still lingers here on my lips
You've got electric, honey, in your fingertips
I like the way your hair hangs down to your hips
I'm just like putty in your hands!
Loving you is like riding in a speeding car
They're fun to drive until you drive em to far
Sudden death, that's what you are!
The way you love me, my heart starts to pumping
Just like a rabbit, hon, you really got me jumping
You must be out for blood the way that you've been humping
I'm just like putty in your hands!
Your kiss of love still lingers here on my lips
You've got electric, honey, in your fingertips
I like the way your hair hangs down to your hips
I'm just like putty in your hands!
Fairytale Morning lyrics - David Allan Coe
Its a fairytale morning, the ocean looks turquoise
As if it was painted that way
The waves how they rush from the shore or the island
It carries my vision away
The sun seems to blind that part of my mind
That's searching for yesterdays rhymes
Its the first day of something
And I wonder if it could be love
She lays there and tosses her head on the pillow
She peeks from the blanket to see
She looks like a child but acts like a woman
Whenever she reaches for me
Her touch burns my skin and that makes me frightened
She looks like a photograph there
Its the first day of something
And I wonder if it could be love
Yes, its hard to believe I spent all this time here alone
Trying to forget the heartaches that broke up our home
Now they're gone
Why, she's seen it all, from the start to the fall
She knew id need some place to hide
My wife, she had taking the baby and left me
With all of this hatred inside
She's been my friend, she helped me get over
And now that I'm better I see
The first day of something
And I wonder if it could be love
As if it was painted that way
The waves how they rush from the shore or the island
It carries my vision away
The sun seems to blind that part of my mind
That's searching for yesterdays rhymes
Its the first day of something
And I wonder if it could be love
She lays there and tosses her head on the pillow
She peeks from the blanket to see
She looks like a child but acts like a woman
Whenever she reaches for me
Her touch burns my skin and that makes me frightened
She looks like a photograph there
Its the first day of something
And I wonder if it could be love
Yes, its hard to believe I spent all this time here alone
Trying to forget the heartaches that broke up our home
Now they're gone
Why, she's seen it all, from the start to the fall
She knew id need some place to hide
My wife, she had taking the baby and left me
With all of this hatred inside
She's been my friend, she helped me get over
And now that I'm better I see
The first day of something
And I wonder if it could be love
Seven Mile Bridge lyrics - David Allan Coe
You know, as a child, he heard tell of the seven mile bridge
That connected on marathon shore
Yes, and it was the gateway key west his grandpa
Had told him ten times or more.
The stories of some sailors curse on the bridge
Where it opens to let the boats through
But the natives all laugh at grandpas old stories
And swear that it just isn't true
Now most of them sail across to miami
From the edge of the blue water line
With crawfish and snappers to sell at the market
For money to spend on some wine
They always cross through at the seven mile bridge
Except when the moon comes out full
They're not superstitious they tell you as they are
Repeating that old seaman's rule
Watch out for those outlaws and pirates
Lord knows that they'll steal you blind
Don't mess around with those cutthroats and thieves
They're robbers and killers of time
And there's nothing worse than an old sailors curse
On the seven mile bridge where you find
They're stealing the future and making believe
The past is still somewhere behind
The seven mile bridge, the seven mile bridge
And he found a woman who'd come here from cuba
She gave him a son and a dream
They lived in a conch house somewhere on stock island
With the seven mile bridge in between
Shed spent her nights on the window walk wondering
If he'd safely pull through the storm
While he spent his money on painted up women
And whisky to keep hi blood warm
Then he'd gamble on crab races till he was broke
While she sat up waiting all night
Then felling too guilty to face her and tell her
He'd look for some bully to fight
At the end of the rainbow where the sun always shines
Just south of the seven mile bridge
She waits at the window for signs of his sailboat
And tries not to worried the kids
She sneaks a few drinks from the bottle she hides
From a husband that's to tired to think
With feelings of guilt she picks up the bottle
And pours the remains in the sink
Now she thinks of the men that stare at her boldly
They know she's a woman alone
With fingers that tremble she touches her body
And wishes her man would come home
Now the years pass so quickly for time is a thief
His skin looks like leather by now
His woman's got fat and lost all her beauty
But, lord, she's lived up to her vow
She looks at her son that's going on twenty
He's ready to live his own life
She hopes he can find a sea worthy woman
A sailor sure needs a good wife
Why he's just like his daddy, she thinks as she watches
Him weaving those fish nets all day
Knowing that some time the seven mile bridge
Will take him and lead him astray
He might return his woman would learn
Broke like his daddy and drunk
She wrote down some words on an old piece of sail cloth
Nailed it over his bunk
Why then, she packed his sea bag and filled up his trunk
His new wife would want it that way
Just before the old man shook the younger lads hand
These are the words he did say
That connected on marathon shore
Yes, and it was the gateway key west his grandpa
Had told him ten times or more.

Now's The Time lyrics - David Allan Coe
There ain't nothing like watching your dreams come true
Nothing like turning those grey skies blue
Nothing like doing what you want to do
Unless its fallen in love
Unless its fallen in love you know
There's so many places for your head to go
You don't have to hurry just take it slow
Now's the time to fall in love
There ain't nothing like living on a sailboat
Nothing like setting your dreams afloat
Nothing like taking just one more toke
Unless its fallen in love
There ain't nothing as pretty as the sun going down
Nothing as funny as a circus clown
Nothing like riding on a merry go round
Unless its fallen in love
Nothing like turning those grey skies blue
Nothing like doing what you want to do
Unless its fallen in love
Unless its fallen in love you know
There's so many places for your head to go
You don't have to hurry just take it slow
Now's the time to fall in love
There ain't nothing like living on a sailboat
Nothing like setting your dreams afloat
Nothing like taking just one more toke
Unless its fallen in love
There ain't nothing as pretty as the sun going down
Nothing as funny as a circus clown
Nothing like riding on a merry go round
Unless its fallen in love
Love Is Just A Porpoise lyrics - David Allan Coe
Everybody knows that
I've had my share of fair weather lovers
They always leave just ahead of the rain
Searching for sunshine and looking for pleasure
Two steps ahead of the last hurricane
If this is a chance then I'm gonna take it
Heaven knows I've taking chances before
Its hard to live with your eyes on the sparrow
Unless you first take your feet off the shore
There's not a cloud up in the sky
Give me one good reason why
We should set our sails for somewhere
Other that the sunny side of nowhere
Freedoms in the eagles wings baby
Listen to those seagulls sing, maybe
Love is just a porpoise
Playing in the tropical sun
Let me tell you girl
That ocean get big when your
Halfway across it
And this ship of loves seen
A lot of bad days
Sometimes its harder to row with the current
Most of my life I've just rocked on the waves
If this is a game then I'm gonna play it
I need your love like those sails need wind
Just climb aboard, girl, and pull up the anchor
Now is the time for our love to begin
Woo, there's not a cloud up in the sky
Not a cloud up in the sky
Not a cloud up in the sky
Give me one good reason why
Its a fairy tale morning
I've had my share of fair weather lovers
They always leave just ahead of the rain
Searching for sunshine and looking for pleasure
Two steps ahead of the last hurricane
If this is a chance then I'm gonna take it
Heaven knows I've taking chances before
Its hard to live with your eyes on the sparrow
Unless you first take your feet off the shore
There's not a cloud up in the sky
Give me one good reason why
We should set our sails for somewhere
Other that the sunny side of nowhere
Freedoms in the eagles wings baby
Listen to those seagulls sing, maybe
Love is just a porpoise
Playing in the tropical sun
Let me tell you girl
That ocean get big when your
Halfway across it
And this ship of loves seen
A lot of bad days
Sometimes its harder to row with the current
Most of my life I've just rocked on the waves
If this is a game then I'm gonna play it
I need your love like those sails need wind
Just climb aboard, girl, and pull up the anchor
Now is the time for our love to begin
Woo, there's not a cloud up in the sky
Not a cloud up in the sky
Not a cloud up in the sky
Give me one good reason why
Its a fairy tale morning
Heads Or Tails lyrics - David Allan Coe
Heads or tails, what will it be?
Take your choice, him or me!
Heads or tails, you'll have to choose
Heads you win, tails you lose
Flip the coin, take a chance
Loves a game called romance
East come and easy go
Its your turn, and I've got to know!
Cheating woman, place your bet
What you see is what you get
East come and easy go
Its your turn, and I've got to know!
Take your choice, him or me!
Heads or tails, you'll have to choose
Heads you win, tails you lose
Flip the coin, take a chance
Loves a game called romance
East come and easy go
Its your turn, and I've got to know!
Cheating woman, place your bet
What you see is what you get
East come and easy go
Its your turn, and I've got to know!
Three Time Loser lyrics - David Allan Coe
Once I tried my hand at stealing
Trying to fill that empty feeling
Trying hard to keep from dealing drugs
I was much to young to take it
Back, when it was hard to make it
On the run with a gun
Or with a gang of thugs
Three time loser, its all behind me now
Twice I fell in love and married
Thinking that the past was buried
Funny how those women carried on
Swearing that our love was dying
Like the weeping willow crying
Through the night and every fight
Until our love was gone
Freedom lost and love gone sour
Losing minutes by the hour
To afraid to let my sorrow show
Dying slow from to much drinking
Quitting when I started sinking
To the bottom of the bottle
That's to far to go
Trying to fill that empty feeling
Trying hard to keep from dealing drugs
I was much to young to take it
Back, when it was hard to make it
On the run with a gun
Or with a gang of thugs
Three time loser, its all behind me now
Twice I fell in love and married
Thinking that the past was buried
Funny how those women carried on
Swearing that our love was dying
Like the weeping willow crying
Through the night and every fight
Until our love was gone
Freedom lost and love gone sour
Losing minutes by the hour
To afraid to let my sorrow show
Dying slow from to much drinking
Quitting when I started sinking
To the bottom of the bottle
That's to far to go
Gone (Like) lyrics - David Allan Coe
She's taken to walking alone in the evening
She's taken to sleeping all night in his chair
Together they both had a reason for living
Back when the felling of loving was there
Then she took to dreaming when he wasn't looking
And he took to looking for moments alone
Together they drifted apart from each other
Together they both knew the felling was gone
Gone like the sparrow south for the winter
Gone like the river out to the sea
Gone like the leaves from the trees when its snowing
Gone like the love that they once gave so free
Till he took to starring at his lonesome shadow
And she took to humming the words to some song
They both felt it slipping that feeling of giving
Leaving the feeling of being alone
Each of them reach out for the other
Together they go though the motions alone
Trying to pretend that nothing else matters
Making believe that their love isn't gone
She's taken to sleeping all night in his chair
Together they both had a reason for living
Back when the felling of loving was there
Then she took to dreaming when he wasn't looking
And he took to looking for moments alone
Together they drifted apart from each other
Together they both knew the felling was gone
Gone like the sparrow south for the winter
Gone like the river out to the sea
Gone like the leaves from the trees when its snowing
Gone like the love that they once gave so free
Till he took to starring at his lonesome shadow
And she took to humming the words to some song
They both felt it slipping that feeling of giving
Leaving the feeling of being alone
Each of them reach out for the other
Together they go though the motions alone
Trying to pretend that nothing else matters
Making believe that their love isn't gone
Honey Don't lyrics - David Allan Coe
I've done some rambling down in Mississippi
I've done some time in Tennessee
I server my sentence in a fender twin amplifier
Honey don't you lat that shit on me
Honey don't you lay that shit on me
I paid my dues to the musicians union
Honey don't you lay that shit on slim
I've been a Rodie for satan honey
I was a sound man for the devil you see
Now I'm a guitar with the heart of a banjo
Honey don't you lay that shit on me
I've done some time in Tennessee
I server my sentence in a fender twin amplifier
Honey don't you lat that shit on me
Honey don't you lay that shit on me
I paid my dues to the musicians union
Honey don't you lay that shit on slim
I've been a Rodie for satan honey
I was a sound man for the devil you see
Now I'm a guitar with the heart of a banjo
Honey don't you lay that shit on me
Lost lyrics - David Allan Coe
She's just a tear I used to cry
Long before we said good bye
Now she's just a lady that I used to know
When the bottle took her place
She was a mirror I had to face
And a dream I dared to dream some time ago
I lost her eyes to a whole bunch of pena coladas
After a few margaritas I took all the blame
For drinking Manhattans at tree in the morning I lost her
Between the vodka and gin and the beer and champagne
I lost her lips late one night on a strawberry daiquiri
Jack Daniels, whiskey and rum couldn't help me that time
I lost her arms and her hands to a glass of tequila
I lost her heart and her soul to a bottle of wine
I lost a bet that our love would last forever
Sloe gin and tonic was making my heart hard to find
With two bloody mary's I ran out of vodka this morning
Losing my chances of drinking her off of my mind
Long before we said good bye
Now she's just a lady that I used to know
When the bottle took her place
She was a mirror I had to face
And a dream I dared to dream some time ago
I lost her eyes to a whole bunch of pena coladas
After a few margaritas I took all the blame
For drinking Manhattans at tree in the morning I lost her
Between the vodka and gin and the beer and champagne
I lost her lips late one night on a strawberry daiquiri
Jack Daniels, whiskey and rum couldn't help me that time
I lost her arms and her hands to a glass of tequila
I lost her heart and her soul to a bottle of wine
I lost a bet that our love would last forever
Sloe gin and tonic was making my heart hard to find
With two bloody mary's I ran out of vodka this morning
Losing my chances of drinking her off of my mind
Merle And Me lyrics - David Allan Coe
Back in 1953
We stole a car old merle and me
Never thinking wed be put in jail
You might say that we were green
I was barely seventeen
When they put those bars between old merle and me
Late one night we hit the wall
Twenty feet we had to fall
To the ground where we could craw into the weeds
Waiting for that shotgun blast
Never thinking we could last
We sure had to grow up fast, old merle and me
We were young and crazy then
It was easy to pretend
Acting like wed never been in reform school
Looking danger in the eye
Walking with our heads held high
We were not afraid to die, old merle and me
We were living by the gun
Never caring what wed done
Swearing it was all just fun and games you know
We would die and go to hell
Before we broke our vow to tell
How we escaped that prison cell. old merle and me
How was merle or me to know
We would end up on death row
Waiting for our turn in the electric chair
Shot down in a grocery store
We got busted at the door
Praying wasn't easy for old merle and me
We stole a car old merle and me
Never thinking wed be put in jail
You might say that we were green
I was barely seventeen
When they put those bars between old merle and me
Late one night we hit the wall
Twenty feet we had to fall
To the ground where we could craw into the weeds
Waiting for that shotgun blast
Never thinking we could last
We sure had to grow up fast, old merle and me
We were young and crazy then
It was easy to pretend
Acting like wed never been in reform school
Looking danger in the eye
Walking with our heads held high
We were not afraid to die, old merle and me
We were living by the gun
Never caring what wed done
Swearing it was all just fun and games you know
We would die and go to hell
Before we broke our vow to tell
How we escaped that prison cell. old merle and me
How was merle or me to know
We would end up on death row
Waiting for our turn in the electric chair
Shot down in a grocery store
We got busted at the door
Praying wasn't easy for old merle and me
Loving Her (Will Make You Lose Your Mind) lyrics - David Allan Coe
She's everything you look for in that kind of woman
Shell drink whiskey and dance till the champagnes all gone
Shell be right there when the air from the ocean is calling
Telling you, sailor beware! Something is wrong!
But touching her might make you lose your blues tonight
Holding her might stop the pain in time
Kissing her might take away the loneliness you fell
But loving her will make you lose your mind
Just like the moon and the stars shell be gone in the morning
Leaving you empty and drained, like the tide you'll be low
Looking for something to take that will make it all better
You'll try to buy her with presents, but sailor I know.
Shell drink whiskey and dance till the champagnes all gone
Shell be right there when the air from the ocean is calling
Telling you, sailor beware! Something is wrong!
But touching her might make you lose your blues tonight
Holding her might stop the pain in time
Kissing her might take away the loneliness you fell
But loving her will make you lose your mind
Just like the moon and the stars shell be gone in the morning
Leaving you empty and drained, like the tide you'll be low
Looking for something to take that will make it all better
You'll try to buy her with presents, but sailor I know.
The Fish Aren't Bitin' Today lyrics - David Allan Coe
Take the jib sail down boys take the jib sail down
Turn this ship around boys before we run aground
The fish aren't biting today boys fish aren't biting today
I'm gonna lay on my bunk and get drunk as a skunk
Cause the fish aren't biting today
There's six foot waves and my stomach craves
Some good old antiguan rum
I put some away for a rainy day
And the rain she's starting to come now
There's a northern wind and the lights are dim
Like a good fresh cuban cigar
I got me a hutch where there might be a bunch
In the captions pickle jar, so.
Turn this ship around boys before we run aground
The fish aren't biting today boys fish aren't biting today
I'm gonna lay on my bunk and get drunk as a skunk
Cause the fish aren't biting today
There's six foot waves and my stomach craves
Some good old antiguan rum
I put some away for a rainy day
And the rain she's starting to come now
There's a northern wind and the lights are dim
Like a good fresh cuban cigar
I got me a hutch where there might be a bunch
In the captions pickle jar, so.

Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone) lyrics - David Allan Coe
Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong would you lay with me
Should my lips grow dry would you wet them dear
In the midnight hour if my lips were dry
Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dying hand if I give myself to you
Would you bathe with me in the stream of life
When the moon is full will you bathe with me
Will you still love me when I'm down and out
In my time of trials will you stand by me
Would you go away...
Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong would you lay with me
If my needs were strong would you lay with me
Should my lips grow dry would you wet them dear
In the midnight hour if my lips were dry
Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dying hand if I give myself to you
Would you bathe with me in the stream of life
When the moon is full will you bathe with me
Will you still love me when I'm down and out
In my time of trials will you stand by me
Would you go away...
Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong would you lay with me
If This Is Just A Game lyric - David Allan Coe
If I give my love to you girl, will I get love in return
Or will I just get a fire, for as long as it will burn?
I'm not looking for a lover, I don't even want a friend
I want this to last forever, and forever never ends.
Don't tell me lies or hypnotize me with your eyes
While saying that you need me
If this is just a one night stand
I'd rather turn around and walk away.
Don't hold me in your arms and run your fingers thought my hair
If you don't love me
If this is just a game, well, honey
I don't think I really care to play.
I've trusted you before, babe (trusted you) and you always let me down
I came back to you believing I was more than just your clown
You say it will be different (this time) this time your love is real
Honey, don't make me believe you, if that ain't the way you feel.
Or will I just get a fire, for as long as it will burn?
I'm not looking for a lover, I don't even want a friend
I want this to last forever, and forever never ends.
Don't tell me lies or hypnotize me with your eyes
While saying that you need me
If this is just a one night stand
I'd rather turn around and walk away.
Don't hold me in your arms and run your fingers thought my hair
If you don't love me
If this is just a game, well, honey
I don't think I really care to play.
I've trusted you before, babe (trusted you) and you always let me down
I came back to you believing I was more than just your clown
You say it will be different (this time) this time your love is real
Honey, don't make me believe you, if that ain't the way you feel.
You Can Count On Me lyrics - David Allan Coe
You can count on me, girl, you can count on me
I won't ever let you down, you can count on me
You say you want a working man
To bring the money home
Someone to be good to you
And never do you wrong
A man that wants to settle down
And put his feet on solid ground
You want a love that's safe and sound
You can count on me.
You say you're looking for a man
To be there when you call
Someone who will stand by you
And never let you fall
A man that you can call your own
A man that you can trust alone
To love when the children's grown
You can count on me.
I won't ever let you down, you can count on me
You say you want a working man
To bring the money home
Someone to be good to you
And never do you wrong
A man that wants to settle down
And put his feet on solid ground
You want a love that's safe and sound
You can count on me.
You say you're looking for a man
To be there when you call
Someone who will stand by you
And never let you fall
A man that you can call your own
A man that you can trust alone
To love when the children's grown
You can count on me.
Mississippi River Queen lyrics - David Allan Coe
Hey, California you don't know me
New York city you can't show me
Anything I haven't seen at least a hundred times before
I still love you, New Orleans, Mississippi river queen
'cause when it comes to loving' you beat all I've ever seen!
And I've seen a lot of ladies in my time
I've had me a few women that were fine
Ah, but I don't need no city woman messing' with my mind
So goodbye San Francisco girl, I'm leaving' you behind.
And I've had some senoritas down in Mexico
I met a few potatoes up in Idaho
I've had a few peaches in Georgia and that San Antoine rose
If the good lord made any better
That you he's the only one who knows
New York city you can't show me
Anything I haven't seen at least a hundred times before
I still love you, New Orleans, Mississippi river queen
'cause when it comes to loving' you beat all I've ever seen!
And I've seen a lot of ladies in my time
I've had me a few women that were fine
Ah, but I don't need no city woman messing' with my mind
So goodbye San Francisco girl, I'm leaving' you behind.
And I've had some senoritas down in Mexico
I met a few potatoes up in Idaho
I've had a few peaches in Georgia and that San Antoine rose
If the good lord made any better
That you he's the only one who knows
Tomorrow Is Another Day lyrics - David Allan Coe
Yes, the roof leaks and the bed she squeak
And the rent is due in just two more weeks
Now I just want to go back to sleep
Tomorrows another day
Oh the palm trees sway to and fro
I think ill just sit and watch the coconuts grow
Its hard to get high when your felling so low
And tomorrows another day
Well the mainsail broke on my fishing boat
And its almost time for my rum and coke
Ill fix it as soon as I have a smoke
Tomorrows another day yeah
So you go at night with your lantern bright
And you sit on the bridge and you get half tight
Ah tonight you cant get the fish to bite
But tomorrows another day, yeah yeah
[Spoken:]
Tomorrows another day
You know what I mean son?
I want to go fishing and swimming
Looking at the pretty girls
On the beaches, son
I don't want to do no work!
And the rent is due in just two more weeks
Now I just want to go back to sleep
Tomorrows another day
Oh the palm trees sway to and fro
I think ill just sit and watch the coconuts grow
Its hard to get high when your felling so low
And tomorrows another day
Well the mainsail broke on my fishing boat
And its almost time for my rum and coke
Ill fix it as soon as I have a smoke
Tomorrows another day yeah
So you go at night with your lantern bright
And you sit on the bridge and you get half tight
Ah tonight you cant get the fish to bite
But tomorrows another day, yeah yeah
[Spoken:]
Tomorrows another day
You know what I mean son?
I want to go fishing and swimming
Looking at the pretty girls
On the beaches, son
I don't want to do no work!
Human Emotions lyrics - David Allan Coe
Lonesome, crying heartaches
That's human emotions
I never knew, lord
Till she went away
Begging, pleading, forgiveness
That's human emotions
Threes nothing as lonesome
As hearing her say
She don't mean to hurt me
She just wants her freedom
Revenge ain't worth having
When it comes so slow
Vie hurt her to much now
For her to get even
Even if leaving
Means no place to go
She packed up her suitcase
Along with the babies
But she left her paintings
They hang on the wall
Its her way of telling me
Just what ill be missing
Missing hers something
I hate most of all
That's human emotions
I never knew, lord
Till she went away
Begging, pleading, forgiveness
That's human emotions
Threes nothing as lonesome
As hearing her say
She don't mean to hurt me
She just wants her freedom
Revenge ain't worth having
When it comes so slow
Vie hurt her to much now
For her to get even
Even if leaving
Means no place to go
She packed up her suitcase
Along with the babies
But she left her paintings
They hang on the wall
Its her way of telling me
Just what ill be missing
Missing hers something
I hate most of all
Love's Cheatin' Line lyrics - David Allan Coe
Yep, she finally crossed over love's cheatin' line
If she mean to hurt me, she's done it this time
My best friend has loved her right out of my mind
She's finally crossed over love's cheatin' line
Yep, she finally crossed over lovers cheatin' line
It's hard to imagine that I've been so blind
Well, nobody could have told me that she was that kind
She finally crossed over lover's cheating line
Now listen to me, girl, it's true that I left her left her alone
And some folks will tell you I done her wrong
And I see the pity from all of my friends
It's hard to believe, Lord, the way true love ends
She finally crossed over love's cheatin' line
Guess I should have noticed those old danger signs
This bottles gonna help me to get her off my mind
She finally crossed over love's cheatin' line
If she mean to hurt me, she's done it this time
My best friend has loved her right out of my mind
She's finally crossed over love's cheatin' line
Yep, she finally crossed over lovers cheatin' line
It's hard to imagine that I've been so blind
Well, nobody could have told me that she was that kind
She finally crossed over lover's cheating line
Now listen to me, girl, it's true that I left her left her alone
And some folks will tell you I done her wrong
And I see the pity from all of my friends
It's hard to believe, Lord, the way true love ends
She finally crossed over love's cheatin' line
Guess I should have noticed those old danger signs
This bottles gonna help me to get her off my mind
She finally crossed over love's cheatin' line
Whiskey And Women lyrics - David Allan Coe
I've got this weakness for women and whiskey
Its something I just cant control
I've tried hard to shake it with out any luck
It keeps burning deep in my soul
I thought you could change things and while you were with me
I never loved no one but you
But its gonna take more that whisky and women
To make me forget that were through
Baby, sometimes at night when I reach out to touch you
I wake up chilled to the bone
There is so many things I cant get used to
Specially being alone
I built my whole world around you and now that your gone
I don't know what to do
But its gonna take more that whisky and women
To make me forget that were through
I found me a woman to lay down beside me
She offered her body and soul
And I took them hoping for some silly reason
Shed help me regain self control
I left like a thief in the night when the first light of dawn
Turned the grey skies to blue
I sobered up knowing shed never be able
To make me forget that were through
Its something I just cant control
I've tried hard to shake it with out any luck
It keeps burning deep in my soul
I thought you could change things and while you were with me
I never loved no one but you
But its gonna take more that whisky and women
To make me forget that were through
Baby, sometimes at night when I reach out to touch you
I wake up chilled to the bone
There is so many things I cant get used to
Specially being alone
I built my whole world around you and now that your gone
I don't know what to do
But its gonna take more that whisky and women
To make me forget that were through
I found me a woman to lay down beside me
She offered her body and soul
And I took them hoping for some silly reason
Shed help me regain self control
I left like a thief in the night when the first light of dawn
Turned the grey skies to blue
I sobered up knowing shed never be able
To make me forget that were through
Jack Daniel's, If You Please lyrics - David Allan Coe
Jack Daniels if you please knock me to my knees
Your the only friend there's has ever been
That didn't do me wrong
Jack Daniels if you please knock me to my knees
You can kill this pain that's driving me insane
Since my babies gone
Cigarettes and whiskey calm my shaking hands
I just lost a lover to a one night stand
Something temporary to late I had to learn
It wasn't meant to last, I lost her to the past
A bridge she couldn't burn
Promises were broken dreams were to die
Empty words were spoken tears were in our eyes
Something temporary those fears will fade away
Please do the best you can to help me understand
These games that people play
Your the only friend there's has ever been
That didn't do me wrong
Jack Daniels if you please knock me to my knees
You can kill this pain that's driving me insane
Since my babies gone
Cigarettes and whiskey calm my shaking hands
I just lost a lover to a one night stand
Something temporary to late I had to learn
It wasn't meant to last, I lost her to the past
A bridge she couldn't burn
Promises were broken dreams were to die
Empty words were spoken tears were in our eyes
Something temporary those fears will fade away
Please do the best you can to help me understand
These games that people play
Suicide lyrics - David Allan Coe
Standing in the bathroom with a gun in my hand
Pulling on the trigger just as fast as I can
I can hear her scream as she reaches for the lover beside her
Married by the bible she was only sixteen
I was fresh from prison trying to follow my dream
Who'd ever thought id be the judge and the jury that tried her?
Blood splattered all over the wall
The gun still smoking as I watch it fall
I run through the door while the sirens blow out on the highway
Maybe they'll catch me and maybe they wont
It really doesn't matter I just had to do things my way
Yeah yeah
I might just commit suicide
Yeah yeah
He's the only man that I trusted with my life
I cant understand why he ran off with my wife
Now that they're dead what's gonna happen to the baby?
The state will have to raise her just the way they did me
Her mother wanted freedom and I just set her free
She should have never let me see that she was no longer a lady
She called out my name just before she died
She swore she loved me and I almost cried
With trembling hands I reached out and tried to save her
Cheating is something I can understand
But not when its cheating with my best friend
She betrayed the love and the baby I gave her
Pulling on the trigger just as fast as I can
I can hear her scream as she reaches for the lover beside her
Married by the bible she was only sixteen
I was fresh from prison trying to follow my dream
Who'd ever thought id be the judge and the jury that tried her?
Blood splattered all over the wall
The gun still smoking as I watch it fall
I run through the door while the sirens blow out on the highway
Maybe they'll catch me and maybe they wont
It really doesn't matter I just had to do things my way
Yeah yeah
I might just commit suicide
Yeah yeah
He's the only man that I trusted with my life
I cant understand why he ran off with my wife
Now that they're dead what's gonna happen to the baby?
The state will have to raise her just the way they did me
Her mother wanted freedom and I just set her free
She should have never let me see that she was no longer a lady
She called out my name just before she died
She swore she loved me and I almost cried
With trembling hands I reached out and tried to save her
Cheating is something I can understand
But not when its cheating with my best friend
She betrayed the love and the baby I gave her
Family Album lyrics - David Allan Coe
On Sunday after church there'd always be a picnic
There'd be kinfolks callin' until dawn
Me I'd play the guitar and my Uncle Merle would sing
And grandpa he'd play that fiddle all night long
Now the women folk they would work out in the kitchen
You could smell that food for miles and miles around
Paw he was prayin' my brother Jack would bring him down some moonshine
Just so's that he could warsh those viddle down
As soon as all the kids got tired of playin' horseshoes
Mama she'd call me over to her side
You know she'd say I'd like to take some pictures
You could see her face light up with pride
And then she'd bring out that worn out family album
Its faded pictures some with corners torn
She'd laugh and poin and tell me funny stories
And look she'd say why that's the day that you were born
And I'd sit and reminisce each picture with her
And I'd listen to her laughter and her sighs
But underneath I knew how much I'd hurt her
For I'd put teardrops in my mama's eyes
In my mama's eyes I've never done a wrong thing
I was still a baby in my mama's eyes
That old family album she'll keep on her night stand
Right next to the Bible until the day she dies
Through all those years in prison she stuck by me
And she came to visit anytime she could
Well I remember at my trial when she testified she loved me
And she told the judge I'd always been so good
Then later through the fame she watched me blossom
From just a local country singer to a great big star
She listened to all my records for the hidden meanings
And she came to hear me sing in all those dim lit bars
And she read all the things they wrote about me
But she knew deep in her heart that it was lies
No she don't hide her head in shame when someone says my name
You'll find no teardrops in my mama's eyes
In my mama's eyes...
Right next to the Bible until the day she dies
There'd be kinfolks callin' until dawn
Me I'd play the guitar and my Uncle Merle would sing
And grandpa he'd play that fiddle all night long
Now the women folk they would work out in the kitchen
You could smell that food for miles and miles around
Paw he was prayin' my brother Jack would bring him down some moonshine
Just so's that he could warsh those viddle down
As soon as all the kids got tired of playin' horseshoes
Mama she'd call me over to her side
You know she'd say I'd like to take some pictures

And then she'd bring out that worn out family album

And look she'd say why that's the day that you were born
And I'd sit and reminisce each picture with her
And I'd listen to her laughter and her sighs
But underneath I knew how much I'd hurt her
For I'd put teardrops in my mama's eyes
In my mama's eyes I've never done a wrong thing
I was still a baby in my mama's eyes

Million Dollar Memories lyrics - David Allan Coe
Those rhinestones turned to diamonds and those diamonds soon got old
I had everything that you could buy to have but not to hold
But all that glitters is not gold and when love's lost it's shine
I had million dollar memories down to my last dime
Million dollar memories down to my last dime
Honky tonks and whiskey Lord they'll do it every time
The day she found another I almost lost my mind
And my million dollar memories are down to my last dime
(Play it Pig)
Those limosines and chauffers they soon fell by the way
Like that mansion down in Dallas Lord I lost the other day
Happiness is gone now there's nothing left but time
And my million dollar memories are down to my last dime
Million dollar memories...
Yes my million dollar memories are down to my last dime
(Think about that honey)
I had everything that you could buy to have but not to hold
But all that glitters is not gold and when love's lost it's shine
I had million dollar memories down to my last dime
Million dollar memories down to my last dime
Honky tonks and whiskey Lord they'll do it every time
The day she found another I almost lost my mind
And my million dollar memories are down to my last dime
(Play it Pig)
Those limosines and chauffers they soon fell by the way
Like that mansion down in Dallas Lord I lost the other day
Happiness is gone now there's nothing left but time
And my million dollar memories are down to my last dime
Million dollar memories...
Yes my million dollar memories are down to my last dime
(Think about that honey)
Divers Do It Deeper lyrics - David Allan Coe
It was too cold to stay
In the north and la
Seemed the most likely place I could stay
Those malibu nights
And those hollywood lights
Were blinding me
I long for a lover
To help me discover
The key to unlock love's door
While diving the reef's for
She changed my beliefs
As we made love on the ocean's floor
Divers do it deeper
Jockeys do it shorter
Brick layers always make just a little bit stronger
Stronger
Sailors do it wetter
Soldiers do it better
But cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer
I moved from la
For a good job with pay
Riding range for the double bar j
Till' the rodeo came
And I put in my name
For the bull riding contest that day
The judges were watching
But they never noticed the girl
Standing close to my chute
She picked me to win
I could tell by her grin
As she reached out
And patted my boot
Divers do it deeper
Pilots do it higher
Brick layers always make it just a little bit stronger
Doctors do it cleaner
Bikers do it meaner
Cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer
Divers do it deeper
Jockeys do it shorter
Brick layers always make it just a little bit stronger
Sailors do it wetter
Soldiers do it better
Cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer
In the north and la
Seemed the most likely place I could stay
Those malibu nights
And those hollywood lights
Were blinding me
I long for a lover
To help me discover
The key to unlock love's door
While diving the reef's for
She changed my beliefs
As we made love on the ocean's floor
Divers do it deeper
Jockeys do it shorter
Brick layers always make just a little bit stronger
Stronger
Sailors do it wetter
Soldiers do it better
But cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer
I moved from la
For a good job with pay
Riding range for the double bar j
Till' the rodeo came
And I put in my name
For the bull riding contest that day
The judges were watching
But they never noticed the girl
Standing close to my chute
She picked me to win
I could tell by her grin
As she reached out
And patted my boot
Divers do it deeper
Pilots do it higher
Brick layers always make it just a little bit stronger
Doctors do it cleaner
Bikers do it meaner
Cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer
Divers do it deeper
Jockeys do it shorter
Brick layers always make it just a little bit stronger
Sailors do it wetter
Soldiers do it better
Cowboys stay in the saddle just a little bit longer
Guilty Footsteps lyrics - David Allan Coe
The key turns in the door the boards squeak on the floor
And guilty footsteps linger on the hall
I'd fight but I'm too weak pretending I'm asleep
While hearing guilty footsteps in the hall
Guilty footsteps always wake me up at night when she comes in
Guilty footsteps tiptoe through my mind they tell me where she's been
True love has no pride but he's not satisfied
Unless he has her at his beck and call
I know now how he works so I'll fight dirt with dirt
To stop those guilty footsteps in the hall
Guilty footsteps always wake me up at night when she comes in
Guilty footsteps tiptoe through my mind they tell me where she's been
The next time she comes home she'll find herself alone
Then she can read the writing on the wall
I wonder if she'll take it or if she'll try to fake it
When she hears my guilty footsteps in the hall
Oh when she hears my guilty footsteps in the hall
Take This Job And Shove It lyrics - David Allan Coe
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Well, I've been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends women
Drownin' in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back
If I had the guts to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman's done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
The foreman is a regular S.O.B.
And the night boss, he's a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he really thinks that's cool
One of these days I'm gonna blow my top
And that's shockin', he's gonna pay it
Well I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Well, I've been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends women
Drownin' in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back
If I had the guts to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it

My woman's done left and took all of the reasons

Houston Dallas Or San Antone lyrics - David Allan Coe
I got drunk in Austin Texas I missed my plane in North Carolina
Spent all of my money on a long distance call
Huntsville Prison walls so high I'm so lonesome I could die
You could make a grown man cry if you wanted to
Say goodbye to Houston for me give my best to San Antone
Tell Dallas there's a change in plans I won't be comin' home
Dallas lives in Winston Salem we got married in West Virginia
Then we moved to Texas on a fifty acre farm
I robbed a bank and shot a man ended up in Birmingham
But I guess I tipped my hand and wound up in the pen
Say goodbye to Houston for me...
Houston is my oldest daughter says she's leaving for New York City
She's gonna make her living reaching for a star
San Antone's my only son please don't tell him what I've done
Or that I had to use my gun for that I killed a man
Say goodbye to Houston for me...
Say goodbye to Houston for me...
Say goodbye to Houston for me...
Spent all of my money on a long distance call
Huntsville Prison walls so high I'm so lonesome I could die
You could make a grown man cry if you wanted to
Say goodbye to Houston for me give my best to San Antone
Tell Dallas there's a change in plans I won't be comin' home
Dallas lives in Winston Salem we got married in West Virginia
Then we moved to Texas on a fifty acre farm
I robbed a bank and shot a man ended up in Birmingham
But I guess I tipped my hand and wound up in the pen
Say goodbye to Houston for me...
Houston is my oldest daughter says she's leaving for New York City
She's gonna make her living reaching for a star
San Antone's my only son please don't tell him what I've done
Or that I had to use my gun for that I killed a man
Say goodbye to Houston for me...
Say goodbye to Houston for me...
Say goodbye to Houston for me...
I've Got To Have You lyrics - David Allan Coe
And I'd like to take you take you away
And if you'd come with me we'd leave here today
There's nothing to hold you as strong as this feeling
And I've got to have you as soon as I can
And I know you're worried about where you stand
The ring that he gave you is still on your hand
You want to be faithful you want to believe
He's easy to lie to but hard to deceive
And you say it's over between you and him
He tells you he needs you but chances are slim
That he even wants you as much as I do
So why don't you go on and tell him you're through
Cause I'd like to take you...
And I'd like to take you...
And I've got to have you as soon as I can as soon as I can
And if you'd come with me we'd leave here today
There's nothing to hold you as strong as this feeling
And I've got to have you as soon as I can
And I know you're worried about where you stand
The ring that he gave you is still on your hand
You want to be faithful you want to believe
He's easy to lie to but hard to deceive
And you say it's over between you and him
He tells you he needs you but chances are slim
That he even wants you as much as I do
So why don't you go on and tell him you're through
Cause I'd like to take you...
And I'd like to take you...
And I've got to have you as soon as I can as soon as I can
Whole Lot Of Lonesome lyrics - David Allan Coe
You put a whole lot of lonesome in me can't you see
You gave me a forest then burnt down the trees
You preached me a serman until I believed
Then you put a whole lot of lonesome in me
I just wanted someone to take me you took me for all that you could
My friends all said you'd try to break me from drinkin'
But I never thought that you would Tammy
You put a whole lot of lonesome...
I bought you that mansion you wanted so much but it never quite felt like home
The dreams that we once shared are shattered in two
And I've had to go on alone Tammy
You put a whole lot of lonesome...
Yes I've got a whole lot of lonesome in me
You gave me a forest then burnt down the trees
You preached me a serman until I believed
Then you put a whole lot of lonesome in me
I just wanted someone to take me you took me for all that you could
My friends all said you'd try to break me from drinkin'
But I never thought that you would Tammy
You put a whole lot of lonesome...
I bought you that mansion you wanted so much but it never quite felt like home
The dreams that we once shared are shattered in two
And I've had to go on alone Tammy
You put a whole lot of lonesome...
Yes I've got a whole lot of lonesome in me

Heavenly Father, Holy Mother lyrics - David Allan Coe
If grandpa was alive right now there ain't no tellin' what he'd have to say
Why he had fifteen wives a living with him all when he finally passed away
And though I've just got two now mama that's enough to keep me satisfied
I haven't had a son yet but the good Lord knows the three of us have tried
Cause the Pennsylvania Dutch that we once spoke has been forgotten
And the Mormon way of life is almost gone
But now and then we gather down in Salt Lake City to raise our voices in a joyful song
And we sing Heavenly Father Holy Mother keeper of our children tiller of the land
Take us to the river in a horse and buggy
Give us our salvation help us make our stand
No ma'am I did not go to see the Reverend Brigham Young while I was there
But I'm sure glad to know you wanted him to mention my name in a prayer
I hope he did not preach about the young folks that refused to make the change
Cause if he did I'm sure I got a little more than my share of the blame
Cause the Pennsylvania Dutch...
Heavenly Father Holy Mother...
Heavenly Father Holy Mother...
Heavenly Father Holy Mother...
Heavenly Father Holy Mother...
Why he had fifteen wives a living with him all when he finally passed away
And though I've just got two now mama that's enough to keep me satisfied
I haven't had a son yet but the good Lord knows the three of us have tried
Cause the Pennsylvania Dutch that we once spoke has been forgotten
And the Mormon way of life is almost gone
But now and then we gather down in Salt Lake City to raise our voices in a joyful song
And we sing Heavenly Father Holy Mother keeper of our children tiller of the land
Take us to the river in a horse and buggy
Give us our salvation help us make our stand
No ma'am I did not go to see the Reverend Brigham Young while I was there
But I'm sure glad to know you wanted him to mention my name in a prayer
I hope he did not preach about the young folks that refused to make the change
Cause if he did I'm sure I got a little more than my share of the blame
Cause the Pennsylvania Dutch...
Heavenly Father Holy Mother...
Heavenly Father Holy Mother...
Heavenly Father Holy Mother...
Heavenly Father Holy Mother...
Just To Prove My Love For You lyrics - David Allan Coe
I'd walk across Kansas in a New York minute climb the Colorado mountains in the fall
Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard if I thought it'd do me any good at all
I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me
Eat a West Virginia coal miner's shoes
Drink the Mississippi River if it took a mouth of Sundays just to prove my love for you
I remember well the first time that I kissed you
Cause the things ain't been the same ever since
You got me thinkin' I could eat a ten penny nail and spit out a barbed wire fence
Now there ain't a livin' creature gonna evert come between us
I'd fight lions snakes and gorillas too
And if that ain't enough we'll start all over just to prove my love for you
I could ride my pony through the eye of a hurricane climb Mount Everest on a string
Jump Niagara Falls in a burnin' barrel and bring you back a hoop smoke ring
Wrestle alligators in the Okefenokee there's nothin' I wouldn't do
If you just say the word I'll catch that Great Speckled Bird and bring it back to you
I remember well the first time...
I'd walk across Kansas in a New York minute...
Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard if I thought it'd do me any good at all
I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me
Eat a West Virginia coal miner's shoes
Drink the Mississippi River if it took a mouth of Sundays just to prove my love for you
I remember well the first time that I kissed you
Cause the things ain't been the same ever since
You got me thinkin' I could eat a ten penny nail and spit out a barbed wire fence
Now there ain't a livin' creature gonna evert come between us
I'd fight lions snakes and gorillas too
And if that ain't enough we'll start all over just to prove my love for you
I could ride my pony through the eye of a hurricane climb Mount Everest on a string
Jump Niagara Falls in a burnin' barrel and bring you back a hoop smoke ring
Wrestle alligators in the Okefenokee there's nothin' I wouldn't do
If you just say the word I'll catch that Great Speckled Bird and bring it back to you
I remember well the first time...
I'd walk across Kansas in a New York minute...
Face To Face lyrics - David Allan Coe
Face to face toe to toe
Where we'll stop heaven knows
Arm in arm cheek to cheek
Whose to blame?
Hand in hand heart to heart
We never should have let this start
But its to late, we shared it all
So we'll just have to share the blame!
I can feel your body tremble
As I hold you in my arms
For you know another woman has my name
Now she knows its you and me
But she don't want to set me free
We've shared it all now its time to share the blame!
Where we'll stop heaven knows
Arm in arm cheek to cheek
Whose to blame?
Hand in hand heart to heart
We never should have let this start
But its to late, we shared it all
So we'll just have to share the blame!
I can feel your body tremble
As I hold you in my arms
For you know another woman has my name
Now she knows its you and me
But she don't want to set me free
We've shared it all now its time to share the blame!
You'll Always Live Inside Of Me lyrics - David Allan Coe
You could sail across the water
Take the kids and set me free
You could die and go to heaven
But you'll always live inside of me
You'll always live inside of me, girl
You'll always live inside of me
Just as long as I am breathing'
You'll always live inside of me
They could take me back to prison
They could throw away the key
Just as long as I am breathing'
You'll always live inside of me
Take the kids and set me free
You could die and go to heaven
But you'll always live inside of me
You'll always live inside of me, girl
You'll always live inside of me
Just as long as I am breathing'
You'll always live inside of me
They could take me back to prison
They could throw away the key
Just as long as I am breathing'
You'll always live inside of me
Play Me A Sad Song lyrics - David Allan Coe
Play me a sad song
Tell me your woman's gone
You know how misery loves company
Sing it just one more time
Before I lose my mind
Tell me how misery loves company
Loneliness surrounds me
Emptiness you found me
I don't think I can go on
Sing me a drinking song
Tell me you done her wrong
You know how misery loves company
Ill put in my last dime
To hear it one more time
Willie, sing misery loves company
Tell me your woman's gone
You know how misery loves company
Sing it just one more time
Before I lose my mind
Tell me how misery loves company
Loneliness surrounds me
Emptiness you found me
I don't think I can go on
Sing me a drinking song
Tell me you done her wrong
You know how misery loves company
Ill put in my last dime
To hear it one more time
Willie, sing misery loves company
Daddy Was A God Fearin' Man lyrics - David Allan Coe
[spoken]
Used to go with my grandpa up to the town square, set him down up there on a picnic bench and he used to play checkers with them other old men up there. they used to tell stories bout when they were kids. grandpa says he shot the chief of police when he was nine years old. n' i believe him, cause they tell me that hazard, kentucky's the baldest place in the world. why, they say they used to sit out there on there front porch, shoot then revenuers when they'd come down the hollow. said they was so young, took two o' them boys to hold the rifle and one to pull the trigger, hymn! well, grandpa , he'd lie a little bit, but i'll tell you, there's a lot of stories in harlan county.
Yea, folks in harlan county, lord, they knew that we were poor
They always called my daddy preacher dan
But daddy weren't no preacher, least ways i don't recollect
Never hear of poppa talk of nothing' but the land
And daddy was a god fearing' farmer yes he was
Could not read nor write, lord, he could barley spell his name
Daddy was a god fearing' farmer all his life
Someday when I'm grown ill be the same.
Well he always grew tobacco though he did not smoke himself
He had the best tobacco crop around
And he never touched a drop of liquor that I can recall
Papa made his living' on the ground.
Yes sunday-go-to-meeting' called for more than he could stand
I guess he felt at home in his old clothes
But he never missed a sunday taking momma to the church
Maybe it was habit, lords, but heaven only knows
Yea, folks in harlan county, lord, they knew that we were poor
They always called my daddy preacher dan
But daddy weren't no preacher, least ways I don't recollect
Never hear of grandpa talk of nothing' but the land

Canteen Of Water lyrics - David Allan Coe
He carries his ids
And his books bound in leather
And a change of clothing
And a picture of anna when she was younger
Lest he forget her.
And in among his papers
Is a list of all the people he knew
And many sent letters
Telling someone that he'd be there
Sometime soon.
Hey stranger! Aren't you the tiredness that remains
When you think freedom cant be measured
By the scuffles on your boots?
Hey hey hey
Now he dreams of anna a life in the time they were together
He was hard and she was supple
Where they lived out in the country
She thought gentle
Like his hands upon her body
And when anna felt the cooling wind
David felt the need to be blown down
And when anna felt the cleansing rain
David fought the fear that he might drown
Hey stranger! And now you wonder through the country
That you hope is much less frightening
When its quicker passing by
Hey hey hey
Now in southern arizona
At the last chance diner counter
Being questioned by the waitress
He prepares for the desert
With his freedom
And a canteen of water
And his books bound in leather
And a change of clothing
And a picture of anna when she was younger
Lest he forget her.
And in among his papers
Is a list of all the people he knew
And many sent letters
Telling someone that he'd be there
Sometime soon.
Hey stranger! Aren't you the tiredness that remains
When you think freedom cant be measured
By the scuffles on your boots?

Where they lived out in the country
She thought gentle
Like his hands upon her body
And when anna felt the cooling wind

And when anna felt the cleansing rain
David fought the fear that he might drown
Hey stranger! And now you wonder through the country
That you hope is much less frightening

Maria Is A Mystery lyrics - David Allan Coe
Maria has a music box she winds up most every day
Once a week is all it takes to make the music play
Melody is just some childhood lullaby her mother
Used to sing to her.
And the road down to the city goes right by maria's door
I often walk right by her house on my way to the store
Up there where those italian mothers
Dress there shivering bambinos
For the rain
She tells me about Jesus and all his gallant men
I tell her about fantasy
Maria she's this lady on the way down to the river
Maria, she's a mystery
Yea passing by this morning I drew a picture in my head
Our bodies in some candlelight that glowed upon our skin
Maybe if I touched her she would disappear
Like angels in a dream.
Once a week is all it takes to make the music play
Melody is just some childhood lullaby her mother
Used to sing to her.
And the road down to the city goes right by maria's door
I often walk right by her house on my way to the store
Up there where those italian mothers
Dress there shivering bambinos
For the rain
She tells me about Jesus and all his gallant men
I tell her about fantasy
Maria she's this lady on the way down to the river
Maria, she's a mystery
Yea passing by this morning I drew a picture in my head
Our bodies in some candlelight that glowed upon our skin
Maybe if I touched her she would disappear
Like angels in a dream.
Just In Time (To Watch Love Die) lyrics - David Allan Coe
Threes a stack of daily papers on her doorstep
And the grass has grown up more than she'd allow
Yes, it seems to me to be a little more like a vacation
Never knew that I'd miss her until now
From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
Guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
Looks like I'm the one that got caught in the middle
Burnt my finger
I got there just in time to watch love die
Yea, I got there just in time to watch love die
There's a change of address blank inside the mailbox
And the key shed usually leave for me not here
Yes, its plain to see that she no longer wants an explanation
Guess I should have known I would not find her here
From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
I guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
Looks like I'm the one that got caught in the middle
Burnt my finger
I got there just in time to watch love die
But I got there much to late to say goodbye.
And the grass has grown up more than she'd allow
Yes, it seems to me to be a little more like a vacation
Never knew that I'd miss her until now
From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
Guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
Looks like I'm the one that got caught in the middle
Burnt my finger
I got there just in time to watch love die
Yea, I got there just in time to watch love die
There's a change of address blank inside the mailbox
And the key shed usually leave for me not here
Yes, its plain to see that she no longer wants an explanation
Guess I should have known I would not find her here
From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
I guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
Looks like I'm the one that got caught in the middle
Burnt my finger
I got there just in time to watch love die
But I got there much to late to say goodbye.
San Francisco Mabel Joy lyrics - David Allan Coe
My daddy was an honest man, just a redneck Georgia farm boy
My momma spent her short life, raisin' kids and bailin' hay
And I was just fifteen when I ached inside to wonder
So I hoped a freight in Waycross and I rode it to L.A.
Well, I met a girl known on the strip as San Francisco's Maybel Joy
Destitutions child, born on a L.A. street called Shane
And sleep came and left this little Waycross Georgia country boy
Maybel Joy was gone, Lord, I'd never see her again
Growin' up came quietly in the arms of Maybel Joy
Laughter found our morning's, brought new meaning to my life
I woke up one day, Lord to find that I was by myself
With dreams of Georgia cotton and California wine
Sunday mornin' found me standin' 'neath the red-light of her door
Right 'cross sent me reelin', laid me face down on the floor
In place of Maybel Joy I found a merchant mad marine
Who said, "Your Georgia neck is red but son you're still green"
Well, I turned twenty one in gray rock federal prison
The judge, he had no mercy on this Waycross, Georgia boy
Sometimes at night in silence, Lord, I'd listen
That same old freight to take me back to Maybel Joy
Cold nights had no pity on this Waycross, Georgia farm boy
Springtime turned to summer and then the winter came
Starin' at those four gray walls in silence, Lord, I'd listen
Somewhere in the distance to the whistle of the train
Sunday morning found me lying 'neath the red light of her door
With a bullet in my side I cried, "Have you seen Maybel Joy?"
Stunned and shaken someone said, "Son, she don't live here no more"
She left this town ten years ago, I heard she's looking for
Some Georgia farm boy"
My momma spent her short life, raisin' kids and bailin' hay
And I was just fifteen when I ached inside to wonder
So I hoped a freight in Waycross and I rode it to L.A.
Well, I met a girl known on the strip as San Francisco's Maybel Joy
Destitutions child, born on a L.A. street called Shane
And sleep came and left this little Waycross Georgia country boy
Maybel Joy was gone, Lord, I'd never see her again
Growin' up came quietly in the arms of Maybel Joy
Laughter found our morning's, brought new meaning to my life
I woke up one day, Lord to find that I was by myself
With dreams of Georgia cotton and California wine
Sunday mornin' found me standin' 'neath the red-light of her door
Right 'cross sent me reelin', laid me face down on the floor
In place of Maybel Joy I found a merchant mad marine
Who said, "Your Georgia neck is red but son you're still green"
Well, I turned twenty one in gray rock federal prison
The judge, he had no mercy on this Waycross, Georgia boy
Sometimes at night in silence, Lord, I'd listen
That same old freight to take me back to Maybel Joy
Cold nights had no pity on this Waycross, Georgia farm boy

Hey Gypsy lyrics - David Allan Coe
Hey gypsy, hey gypsy come on home
Even if its just to paint your wagon.
Old hobo, how long can this go on?
She's mending socks and sitting' home a nagging'
Hey outlaw, lets spend some time together
She said outlaw it doesn't matter whether were alone
Come on home
Hey drifter has your felling for her gone
Have you spent to many nights out on the highway?
Hey loner she said hit the road and sing your songs
It wont be long until I have your baby
Even if its just to paint your wagon.
Old hobo, how long can this go on?
She's mending socks and sitting' home a nagging'
Hey outlaw, lets spend some time together
She said outlaw it doesn't matter whether were alone
Come on home
Hey drifter has your felling for her gone
Have you spent to many nights out on the highway?
Hey loner she said hit the road and sing your songs
It wont be long until I have your baby
Got You On My Mind lyrics - David Allan Coe
Got you on mind
Fellin' kind of sad and low
Wonderin' where you are
Wonderin' why you had to go
Tears began to fall
Every time I hear your name
Tears began to fall
Every time I hear your name
Since you went away
Nothing seems to be the same
No matter how I try
My heart keeps telling me that I
Can't forget you
If it should ever be
That you wanna come back to me
I'm gonna let you
Got you on my mind
Fellin' kind of sad and low
Got you on mind
Fellin' kind of sad and low
Wonderin' where you are
Wonderin' why you had to go
Fellin' kind of sad and low
Wonderin' where you are
Wonderin' why you had to go
Tears began to fall
Every time I hear your name
Tears began to fall
Every time I hear your name
Since you went away
Nothing seems to be the same
No matter how I try
My heart keeps telling me that I
Can't forget you
If it should ever be
That you wanna come back to me
I'm gonna let you
Got you on my mind
Fellin' kind of sad and low
Got you on mind
Fellin' kind of sad and low
Wonderin' where you are
Wonderin' why you had to go
A Satisfied Mind lyrics - David Allan Coe
How many time have
You heard someone say
If i had his money
I could do things my way
But little they know
That its so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind
Onest I was winning
In fortune and fame
Everything that I'd dreamed of
To get a start in life's game
Then suddenly you're a pauper
I lost everything
But I'm richer by far
With a satisfied mind
Money cant buy back
Your years when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a love thats grown cold
The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind
Money cant buy back
Your years when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a love thats grown cold
The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind
How many time have
You heard someone say
If I had his money
I could do things my way
But little they know
That its so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind
Money cant buy back
You heard someone say
If i had his money
I could do things my way
But little they know
That its so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind
Onest I was winning
In fortune and fame
Everything that I'd dreamed of
To get a start in life's game
Then suddenly you're a pauper
I lost everything
But I'm richer by far
With a satisfied mind
Money cant buy back
Your years when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a love thats grown cold
The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind
Money cant buy back
Your years when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a love thats grown cold
The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind
How many time have
You heard someone say
If I had his money
I could do things my way
But little they know
That its so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind
Money cant buy back
Why You Been Gone So Long lyrics - David Allan Coe
Every time it rains Lord
I run to my window
All I do is hang my head and moan
I listen to that thunder roll
And hear lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Ya been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratchin' at my door
And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Somebody said they say you roaring down in Reno
With a big ol' man from San Antone
They say that I'm a fool to pine for you
But what do they know
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Ya been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratchin' at my door
And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Lord there ain't a thing to do well I guess I'll go get stoned
Let the past paint pictures on my head
Drink a fifth of Thunderbird
And smoke my way back home
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Ya been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratchin' at my door
And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
I run to my window
All I do is hang my head and moan
I listen to that thunder roll
And hear lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Ya been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratchin' at my door
And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Somebody said they say you roaring down in Reno
With a big ol' man from San Antone
They say that I'm a fool to pine for you
But what do they know
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Ya been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratchin' at my door
And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Lord there ain't a thing to do well I guess I'll go get stoned
Let the past paint pictures on my head
Drink a fifth of Thunderbird
And smoke my way back home
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Ya been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratchin' at my door
And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Mary Magdeline lyrics - David Allan Coe
Shes a lady of the night
Some say that her profession
Is a low down dirty shame
And some folks say shes just some hippie chick
Thats half insane
She talked to me about someone she called The Son of Man
She told me things I wasn't quite prepared to understand
Perhaps she was a vision of delirium I seen
This prostitute I meet last night named Mary Magdeline
Told a friend about
The strange experience I had
With Benzedrine indifference
He assured me I was mad
His dad had been a Preacher
Quoted scriptures from his head
Disbelief was on his face
Especially when I said
She talked to me about someone she called The Son of Man
She told me things I wasn't quite prepared to understand
Perhaps she was a vision of delirium I seen
This prostitute I meet last night named Mary Magdeline
With hepatitis eyelids
I went tripping down the street
The local Catholic mission
Offered rest for weary feet
The Priest heard my confession
While his breath smelled just like wine
He gave me the impression
I was waisting sacred time
He talked to me about someone he called The Son of Man
He told me things I wasn't quite prepared to understand
He talked to me of vision and things he'd seen in dreams
And he talked about a prostitute named Mary Magdeline
He talked to me about someone he called The Son of Man
He told me things I wasn't quite prepared to understand
Perhaps it was a vision of delirium I seen
That prostitute I meet last night called Mary Magdeline
Some say that her profession
Is a low down dirty shame
And some folks say shes just some hippie chick
Thats half insane
She talked to me about someone she called The Son of Man
She told me things I wasn't quite prepared to understand
Perhaps she was a vision of delirium I seen
This prostitute I meet last night named Mary Magdeline
Told a friend about
The strange experience I had
With Benzedrine indifference
He assured me I was mad
His dad had been a Preacher
Quoted scriptures from his head
Disbelief was on his face
Especially when I said
She talked to me about someone she called The Son of Man
She told me things I wasn't quite prepared to understand
Perhaps she was a vision of delirium I seen
This prostitute I meet last night named Mary Magdeline

While his breath smelled just like wine

Fuzzy Was An Outlaw lyrics - David Allan Coe
Fuzzy was an outlaw swamp rat born and raised
Bought a motorcycle in his younger days
Rode into Kentucky to join the outlaw band
Fuzzy tought me how to make a livin' off the land
Fuzzy ran a tractor in the early mornin' dew
Tought me how to plant the crops, and showed me what to do
Stitch and Stew sat on the porch while Debbie fixed a meal
Turpentine my old brown horse was grazin' in the field
Fuzzy was an outlaw swamp rat born and raised
Fuzzy's hair was longer than the outlaws that I knew
Dirty blonde and curly wearing pants of faded blue
A barefoot bearded swamprat
but a man above all others
Never was the kind to turn his back upon his brothers
Fuzzy was an outlaw swamp rat born and raised
Bought a motorcycle in his younger days
Rode into Kentucky to join the outlaw band
Fuzzy tought me how to make a livin' off the land
Fuzzy ran a tractor in the early mornin' dew
Tought me how to plant the crops, and showed me what to do
Stitch and Stew sat on the porch while Debbie fixed a meal
Turpentine my old brown horse was grazin' in the field
Fuzzy was an outlaw swamp rat born and raised
Fuzzy's hair was longer than the outlaws that I knew
Dirty blonde and curly wearing pants of faded blue
A barefoot bearded swamprat
but a man above all others
Never was the kind to turn his back upon his brothers
Fuzzy was an outlaw swamp rat born and raised
Ride Me Down Easy lyrics - David Allan Coe
Say I'm easy come
Easy go
And easy to love when I stay
This old highway
Is hotter than nine kinds of hell
And the rice is as scarce as the rain
When you're down to you last shuck
With nothing to sell
And you're too far away from the train
It's been a good month of Sundays
And a guitar ago
I had a tall drink of yesterday's wine
Left a long line of friends
Some sheets in the wind
And some satisfied women behind
Hey ride me down easy Lord
Ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come
Easy go
And easy to love when I stay
Alright…
I've seen fire on the mountain
I raised hell on the hill
I locked horns with the devil himself
I've been a rodeo bum
I'm a son of a gun
And a hobo with stars in his crown
So won't you ride me down easy Lord
Ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come
Easy go
And easy to love when I stay
Well won't you ride me down easy Lord
Ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come
Easy go
And easy to love when I stay
Well won't you ride me down easy Lord
Easy go
And easy to love when I stay
This old highway
Is hotter than nine kinds of hell
And the rice is as scarce as the rain
When you're down to you last shuck
With nothing to sell
And you're too far away from the train
It's been a good month of Sundays
And a guitar ago
I had a tall drink of yesterday's wine
Left a long line of friends
Some sheets in the wind
And some satisfied women behind
Hey ride me down easy Lord
Ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come
Easy go
And easy to love when I stay
Alright…
I've seen fire on the mountain
I raised hell on the hill
I locked horns with the devil himself
I've been a rodeo bum
I'm a son of a gun
And a hobo with stars in his crown
So won't you ride me down easy Lord
Ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come
Easy go
And easy to love when I stay
Well won't you ride me down easy Lord
Ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come
Easy go
And easy to love when I stay
Well won't you ride me down easy Lord
Willie, Waylon And Me lyrics - David Allan Coe
I heard the burritos out in California
Could fly higher than the birds
Roger McGuinn had a 12-string guitar
It was like nothing I'd ever heard
And the Eagles flew in from the West Coast
Like the birds they were trying to be free
While in Texas the talk turned to outlaw
Like Willie and Waylon and me
Heyyy
Well they say Texas music in the making
And we been making music that is free
Doing one night stands, playing with our bands
Willie, Waylon and me
Oh Mad Dog
They say the Beatles were just the beginning
Of everything music could be
Just like the stones I was rolling along
Like a ship, lost out on the sea
And Joplin would die for the future
And Dillon would write poetry
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaw
Like Willie, Waylon and me
Heyyy
My name is David Allen Coe and I'm from Dallas Texas
They say Texas music's in the making
And we been making music that is free
Doing one night stands, playing with our bands
Willie, Waylon and me
Big Jim
I heard the burritos out in California
Could fly higher than the birds
Roger McGuinn had a 12-string guitar
It was like nothing I'd ever heard
And the Eagles flew in from the West Coast
Like the birds they were trying to be free
While in Texas the talk turned to outlaw
Like Willie, Waylon and me
Could fly higher than the birds
Roger McGuinn had a 12-string guitar
It was like nothing I'd ever heard
And the Eagles flew in from the West Coast
Like the birds they were trying to be free
While in Texas the talk turned to outlaw
Like Willie and Waylon and me
Heyyy
Well they say Texas music in the making
And we been making music that is free
Doing one night stands, playing with our bands
Willie, Waylon and me
Oh Mad Dog
They say the Beatles were just the beginning
Of everything music could be
Just like the stones I was rolling along
Like a ship, lost out on the sea
And Joplin would die for the future
And Dillon would write poetry
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaw
Like Willie, Waylon and me
Heyyy
My name is David Allen Coe and I'm from Dallas Texas
They say Texas music's in the making
And we been making music that is free
Doing one night stands, playing with our bands
Willie, Waylon and me
Big Jim

It was like nothing I'd ever heard
And the Eagles flew in from the West Coast
Like the birds they were trying to be free
While in Texas the talk turned to outlaw
Like Willie, Waylon and me
House We've Been Calling Home lyrics - David Allan Coe
Jessie she stares like a cat with a bird that has fallen and broke its wing
Terri she puts on her make-up and wonders what promise the new day will bring
Debbie stays home with the baby while I work my hands to the bone
Yeah I make a living they do the giving in a house we've been calling home
Just a house we've been trying to live in just a place we've been calling our own
Me and my wives have been spending our lives in a house we've been calling home
Jessie's the youngest she always needs answers to questions that I just don't know
Terri she can't sit still for a moment she's always in some hurry to go
Debbie's been with me the longest we spend most of our time on the phone
Talking in rhymes with no reasons in mind for this house we've been calling home
Just a house we've been trying to live in...
Young Dallas Cowboy lyrics - David Allan Coe
Well, I've hiked through the sage brush,
I ran up some rail
I slept on the bench in a few county jails
And they laugh as they knocked all the wind from my sail
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
I've tried hard to tackle the problems at hand
I've kicked a few habits, and I've marched to the band
I tried hard to follow the lady of the land
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
I've made a few passes that weren't incomplete
I stumbled through yards on my way to the street
Running from beds where I did more than sleep
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
[Talk]
Well, he tackled the bottle and he fumbled the ball
And he'd touchdown in alleys along where he'd fall
Just wait for his son to make up for it all
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
When I was a baby, he broke up the team
Divorcing my Mama to live with a dream
He had back in college when he was still green
And I was a young Dallas Cowboy
Now the footballs I held did not fit in my hand
Got me a guitar and I've got me a band
So don't put me down when I'm taking my stand
Be proud of this young Dallas Cowboy
Yeah I'm proud I'm a young Dallas Cowboy
Be proud of those young Dallas Cowboys
I ran up some rail
I slept on the bench in a few county jails
And they laugh as they knocked all the wind from my sail
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
I've tried hard to tackle the problems at hand
I've kicked a few habits, and I've marched to the band
I tried hard to follow the lady of the land
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
I've made a few passes that weren't incomplete
I stumbled through yards on my way to the street
Running from beds where I did more than sleep
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
[Talk]
Well, he tackled the bottle and he fumbled the ball
And he'd touchdown in alleys along where he'd fall
Just wait for his son to make up for it all
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
When I was a baby, he broke up the team
Divorcing my Mama to live with a dream
He had back in college when he was still green
And I was a young Dallas Cowboy
Now the footballs I held did not fit in my hand
Got me a guitar and I've got me a band
So don't put me down when I'm taking my stand
Be proud of this young Dallas Cowboy
Yeah I'm proud I'm a young Dallas Cowboy
Be proud of those young Dallas Cowboys
A Sense Of Humor lyrics - David Allan Cee
Every night another woman
Every day a different town
If I'm not accused of speeding
I'm accused of coming down
With a legal dose of something
That you heard was going 'round
And you wondered why I lost my sense of humor
Every song another record
Every day just like a clock
Knowing well I've had to take it
Till I make it to the top
With the devil right behind me
And my heart about to stop
Then you wondered why I lost my sense of humor
Twenty years I was in prison
More than that I was alone
Some lily-white reporter
Thinks it's time that I was stoned
Without sin, he wrote the story
And it chilled me to the bone
Then he wondered why I lost my sense of humor
I shaved my beard and cut my hair off
It don't matter anyhow
It was truth that told the answers
To the questions up till now
"Crucify him," someone shouted
From the safety of the crowd
Then they wondered why I lost my sense of humor
Hey, take them crosses from my doorstep
There's no reason to my rhyme
Everybody knows somebody
Will take care of me in time
I made friends of all you stand for
But the blind can't lead the blind
Just be glad I haven't lost my sense of humor
Just be glad I haven't lost my sense of humor
'Cause if I ever catch you I'm gonna kick your ass
Every day a different town
If I'm not accused of speeding
I'm accused of coming down
With a legal dose of something
That you heard was going 'round
And you wondered why I lost my sense of humor
Every song another record
Every day just like a clock
Knowing well I've had to take it
Till I make it to the top
With the devil right behind me
And my heart about to stop
Then you wondered why I lost my sense of humor
Twenty years I was in prison
More than that I was alone
Some lily-white reporter
Thinks it's time that I was stoned
Without sin, he wrote the story
And it chilled me to the bone
Then he wondered why I lost my sense of humor
I shaved my beard and cut my hair off
It don't matter anyhow
It was truth that told the answers
To the questions up till now
"Crucify him," someone shouted
From the safety of the crowd
Then they wondered why I lost my sense of humor
Hey, take them crosses from my doorstep
There's no reason to my rhyme
Everybody knows somebody
Will take care of me in time
I made friends of all you stand for
But the blind can't lead the blind
Just be glad I haven't lost my sense of humor
Just be glad I haven't lost my sense of humor
'Cause if I ever catch you I'm gonna kick your ass
Punkin Center Barn Dance lyrics - David Allan Coe
He came from Kentucky least ways that's what I've been told
Me and fate had left that state before his corpse got cold
He'd been killed for gold hhen California could be sold
To any fool who had been told bbout the Punkin Center Barn Dance
Mama had the fever and my daddy sold his soul
To someone called the devil that he'd met along life's road
Dad would stop to drink a toast and mom was looking like a ghost
Was gonna beat us to the coast and the Punkin Center Barn Dance
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance that's where everyone would be
Dancing to Virginia's reel and the waltz of Tennessee
When the roll is called up yonder you can hear the angels sing
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance God is gold the grass is green
Yeah I left California just before the Grateful Dead
Told the truth about the gold I'd searched for in my head
Like my Dad I'd roamed the land and Mom could never understand
How Lucifer could bring a man to the Punkin Center Barn Dance
Well times are changin' poets say since mom and dad both passed away
But some things in this life will never change
The poets write of things to come the earth will melt into the sun
And you and I will be the ones at the Punkin Center Barn Dance
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance...
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance...
Me and fate had left that state before his corpse got cold
He'd been killed for gold hhen California could be sold
To any fool who had been told bbout the Punkin Center Barn Dance
Mama had the fever and my daddy sold his soul
To someone called the devil that he'd met along life's road
Dad would stop to drink a toast and mom was looking like a ghost
Was gonna beat us to the coast and the Punkin Center Barn Dance
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance that's where everyone would be
Dancing to Virginia's reel and the waltz of Tennessee
When the roll is called up yonder you can hear the angels sing
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance God is gold the grass is green
Yeah I left California just before the Grateful Dead
Told the truth about the gold I'd searched for in my head
Like my Dad I'd roamed the land and Mom could never understand
How Lucifer could bring a man to the Punkin Center Barn Dance
Well times are changin' poets say since mom and dad both passed away
But some things in this life will never change
The poets write of things to come the earth will melt into the sun
And you and I will be the ones at the Punkin Center Barn Dance
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance...
At the Punkin Center Barn Dance...
Willie, Waylon And Me (Reprise) lyrics - David Allan Coe
They say The Beatles were just the beginning of everything music could be
Just like The Stones I was rolling along like a ship lost out on the sea
And Joplin would die for the future and Dylan would write poetry
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws like Willie and Waylon and me
Hey well that they say Texas music is in the make
And we've been making music that is free
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands Willie Waylon and me
Just like The Stones I was rolling along like a ship lost out on the sea
And Joplin would die for the future and Dylan would write poetry
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws like Willie and Waylon and me
Hey well that they say Texas music is in the make
And we've been making music that is free
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands Willie Waylon and me
Lately I've Been Thinking Too Much Lately lyrics - David Allan Coe
Lately I've been thinking too much lately
I've been stayin' kinda stoned
Maybe I need someone who can make me
Feel like I'm not making it alone
Lately you've been colder than the weather
Whether love was right or love was wrong
Once you told me there was no one better
Now you say you're better off alone.
Yesterday has ran into tomorrow
Wrecking every dream we've ever known
Even though we're lying here together in this bed
I believe we're laying here alone.
Lately I've been thinking too much lately
Lately I've been drivin' myself crazy
Lately this old house ain't been no home
I thought you were something to hold on to
When I could not make it on my own
Lately you've been more than I can handle
Lately I can't handle being stoned
Maybe I need someone who can make me
Feel like I'm not making it alone.
I've been stayin' kinda stoned
Maybe I need someone who can make me
Feel like I'm not making it alone
Lately you've been colder than the weather
Whether love was right or love was wrong
Once you told me there was no one better
Now you say you're better off alone.
Yesterday has ran into tomorrow
Wrecking every dream we've ever known
Even though we're lying here together in this bed
I believe we're laying here alone.
Lately I've been thinking too much lately
Lately I've been drivin' myself crazy
Lately this old house ain't been no home
I thought you were something to hold on to
When I could not make it on my own
Lately you've been more than I can handle
Lately I can't handle being stoned
Maybe I need someone who can make me
Feel like I'm not making it alone.
