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

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

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

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

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

Gotta Serve Somebody lyrics - David Allan Coe
You may be an ambassador
To England or France
You might like to gamble
You might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight
Champion of the world
You might be a socialite
With a long string of pearls
But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
You might be a rock and roll star
Prancin’ on a stage
Plenty of drugs at your command
Women in a cage
You might be a business man
Or some high D grade thief
They may call you Doctor

The Ride lyrics - David Allan Coe
Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery had my guitar on my back
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
Now he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow-eyed
Said, "It's a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son?"
Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio
And them sad old songs comin' out of them
Speakers was solid country gold
Then I noticed the stranger was
Ghost-white pale when he asked me for a light
And I knew there was something strange about this ride
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
Then he cried just south of Nashville and he turned that car around
He said, "This is where you get off boy I'm goin' back to Alabam"
As I stepped out of that Cadillac I said, "Mr., many thanks"
He said, "You don't have to call me Mr., Mr.
The whole world called me Hank
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
If you're big star bound let me warn ya it's a long, hard ride
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
Now he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow-eyed
Said, "It's a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son?"
Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio
And them sad old songs comin' out of them

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

He's a fuckin' liar.

Oh, no, that ain't the way I wanna go.

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

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...
