Son Of The South lyrics - David Allan Coe

I like to play Hank Williams Jr. records
Just as loud as they will go
I'm into Lynyrd Skynyrd
The Allman Brothers an' David Allan Coe

I like Willie, Waylon, George an' Merle
An' a lot of ZZ Top
They play country, soul with some rock 'n' roll
An' I hope they never stop

'Coz I'm a redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
I don't like no new wave disco bands around

I'm gonna drink a couple dozen beers
An' go out an' jam some gears
I'm a long haired redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south

I've got a 1965 Harley chopper
It sure makes those women stare
I got a dead flamingo wrapped around
This cowboy hat I wear

Well, I can cuss, fight, spit, belch
An' raise all kinds of hell
If you ride to live like I live to ride
Let me hear that rebel yell

'Coz I'm a redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
I don't like no new wave disco bands around

I'm gonna drink me a couple dozen beers
An' go out an' jam some gears
'Coz I'm a long haired redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south

I like my whiskey straight up
Daqueris makes me ill
If someone touches my Stetson hat
I get mad enough to kill

I got a rifle rack in my pickup truck
I'm a four wheelin' maniac
If you wanna race, you just name the place
An' I'll show you where it's at

'Coz I'm a redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
I don't like no new wave disco bands around

I'm gonna drink a couple dozen beers
An' go out an' jam some gears
'Coz I'm a long haired redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south

Yeah, I'm a long haired redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south
Yeah, I'm a long haired redneck
Rock 'n' roll son of the south

I'm Gonna Hurt Her On The Radio lyrics - David Allan Coe

I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
She’s gonna hear me everywhere she goes
I’ll get to her the only way I know
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio.

Take these pieces of my broken heart
And watch ‘em climb the country music chart
She’s gonna pay me back in royalties
For bringin’ me down to my knees.

I’ll tell the world the way she done me wrong
And make a million while she sings along
She thinks she’s heard the last of my love songs
But she won’t feel that way for long.

I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
She’s gonna hear me everywhere she goes
She’s gonna feel it deep inside her soul
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio

I’m gonna hurt her on the radio
I’m gonna get to her in stereo
She’s gonna feel it deep inside her soul
I’m gonna hurt her on the radio

Ain't Worth The Powder lyrics - David Allan Coe

I came up the hard way
And fought with my back to the wall
Sometimes down to nothin'
But right now, babe, we've got it all
Looking back now
When it comes down to facing the truth
Ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you

That's my Silver Eagle
And my name up in lights
And those big blue white diamonds
They can't keep me warm late at night
Here in the spotlight
My dreams have come true
But I ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you

Well, you know if the time ever comes, babe
When it's down to just win, lose or draw
I don't Carewhat they take
They can take what they want to
As long as they leave you
'cause you're the most precious thing of all

Take my Silver Eagle
And my name up in lights
And those big blue diamonds
they can't keep me warm late at night
Here in the spotlight
My dreams have come true
But I ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you
No I ain't worth the powder
To blow me to hell without you

Would They Love Me Down In Shreveport lyrics - David Allan Coe

If they saw me riding in long hair flying in the wind
Would They Love Me Down in Shreveport today
If I only sang the blues, and wore patent leather shoes
Would They Love Me Down in Nashville today
If they saw me talk with ease to the drunkard and the thieves
Would They Love Me out in Wichita today
Would the rich me think it's funny, if I said give up your money
Would They Love Me up on Wall street today
If I made the wine from water, gave it to there sons and daughters
What would the saints in Salt lake City say
If I talked of brotherhood walking through there neighborhoods
Would They Love Me up in Boston today
If I said love those how use you, and forgive those how abuse you,
and turn the other cheek what would you say
If you saw me riding in long hair flying in the wind
Would you Love Me Down in
Would you Love Me Down in

Snowblind Friend lyrics - David Allan Coe

You say it was this mornin' when you last saw your good friend
Lyin' on the sidewalk with the misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall

He only had a dollar to live on till next Monday
But he spent it all on comfort for his mind
Did you say you think he's blind?

Someone should call his parents or a sister or a brother
And they'll come and take him back home on a bus
But hell always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
And hell always be another one of us

He said he wanted heaven but prayin' was too slow
So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low

You say it was this mornin' when you last saw your good friend
Lyin' on the sidewalk with the misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall

Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low
Dyin' slow, blinded by snow

Southern Man lyrics - David Allan Coe

Southern man better cool your head
Don't forget what your good book says
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast

Southern man

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

Southern man

Southern man better cool your head
Don't forget what your good book says
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast

Lilly pelle your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man comin round
Swear to God, I'm gonna cut him down
I heard screaming and ooh whips cracking and
How long how long, how long

Southern man

Southern man better cool your head
Don't forget what your good book says
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast

Even After Forever lyrics - David Allan Coe

Yeah the snapshot must have been taken,
Back in 1922
But it's scary how the faces,
Look so much like me and you
Maybe there are some things in this life we just keep goin through
Did it again

Sometimes when we're talkin,
You've heard it all before
Maybe we're just echoes in this life and nothin more
Makes me wonder why we make the same mistakes,
And slam the doors
Did it again

Even after forever I still love you
Even after tomorrow's yesterday
Even if you never ever
Hold me close again
Somethings even the winds of time
Just can't blow away
Love never fades

I'm watchin some old Humphrey Bogart flick
In the middle of the night
When suddenly i smell the popcorn
And I see the billboard lights
Ah, but that could be cause all of this
Came long before my life
But maybe I'm wrong

There are things the lawyers and the preachers
Still cannot explain
Ah, they don't even know what to call it
If it even has a name
Well they say there's no such thing as magic
Isn't that a shame
Well, maybe they're wrong

Even after forever I still love you
Even after tomorrow's yesterday
Even if you never ever
Hold me close again
Some things even the winds of time
Just can't blow away
Love never fades
Ahh, love never fades

She Used To Love Me A Lot lyrics - David Allan Coe

I saw her through the window today
She was sittin' in the Silver Spoon cafe
I started to keep going
But something made me stop
She used to love me a lot

She looked lonely and I knew the cure
Old memories would win her heart for sure
I thought I'd walk on in there
And give it my best shot
She used to love me a lot

I sat down beside her and she smiled
She said where have you been it's been awhile
She seemed so glad to see me
Lord, I could read her thoughts
She used to love me a lot

She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
Looking at her now I can't believe i said good-bye
It would only take a minute to turn back the clock
She used to love me a lot

Well I reminded her how good it was back then
I said you know it's not to late to start again
We could spend a night together
Take up where we left off
She used to love me a lot

Then I panicked as she turned to walk away
As she went out the door I heard her say
Yes I'm in need of something
But it's something you ain't got
But I used to love you a lot

She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
Looking at her now I can't believe she said good-bye
It would only take a minute to turn back that ol' clock
She used to love me a lot
She used to love me a lot
She used to love me a lot...

My Elusive Dreams lyrics - David Allan Coe

I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I followed you to Alabam', things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on

I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams

I had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on

And now we've left Alaska, because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moves on
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone

I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams

Don't Cry Darlin' lyrics - David Allan Coe

Drunk.
Totally drained.
On the verge of going crazy.
On the edge of insane.
I know you'd prayed I'd make it.
But I never pulled through.
I gave up on going on girl
just like I gave up on you.

But don't you cry darlin'.
Though it's a cryin' shame.
I was hooked on that whisky so bad,
I didn't know my name when I died,
but don't cry darlin'.
You know it's not you're fault.
I was stealin' time from the devil and I
just got caught.

[Spoken:]
You know Hon,
David left you so long ago
He didn't want to darlin,
aw but his dying words told you so
But that strong stuff,
aww, it was always his weakness
But hell, any man can be a fool
And I know that he was so ashamed and sorry
For all those bad things that he did to you

But don't you cry darlin'.
Though it's a cryin' shame.
I was hooked on that whisky so bad,
I didn't know my name when I died,
but don't cry darlin'.
Well it's not you're fault.
I was stealin' time from the devil and I
just got caught.

don't you cry darlin'.

Though it's a cryin' shame.
I was hooked on that whisky so bad,
I didn't know my name when I died,
but don't cry darlin'.
Well it's not you're fault.
I was stealin' time from the devil and I
just got caught.

My Girl lyrics - David Allan Coe

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooh

I don't need no money, fortune, or fame
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl

I've even got the month of May
With my girl

Call Me The Breeze lyrics - David Allan Coe

Call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
Well there ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
And I ain't hidin' from nobody
Nobody's hidin' from me
Oh, that's the way it's supposed to be

Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well I might go out to california
Might go down to georgia
I don't know

Well I dig you georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
Well now I dig you georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
But I don't love me no one woman
So I can't stay in georgia long

Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load
Oooh mr breeze

For Lovers Only lyrics - David Allan Coe

The last verse was the hardest the hardest to get through
This verse for old lost lovers this song I wrote for you
She's at the point of no return there's no more candles left to burn
She's broken every chain that bound her to your soul
She doesn't care what's right or wrong you've been her victim for too long
She knows you're too weak to be strong you'll lose control
Nothing seems to bother her she's as cool as cool has ever been
She knows she can handle you you've been her fool since God knows when
There's no more chances left to take you're just another heart she'll break
You're not the first one or the last to come along
She knows exactly how you feel you think you got a dirty deal
You left your heart where she could steal it for a song
