Long Haired Redneck 2001 Version

David Allen Coe

I've always been a non conformist

I never told to march or walk the line

Just like Jonny Cash

I told them all to kiss my ass

That was back in 1969



Hey radio they hardley play my music

And you won't see my face on MTV

And it must have been a shock

When I toured with Kid Rock

And Uncle Crakcer sang a song with me



Oh Waylon died and now there's one less outlaw

But Willie's still in Austin don't ya know

And they say I still look like Merle Haggard

And I sound a lot like David Allen Coe



And my long hair still can't cover up my redneck

And I still won every fight I ever fought

Yes and I still hate those assholes

Tellin me that I'm too country

Sayin I ain't worth the damned 'ol ticket that they bought



Because I can sing songs I wrote about Texas

And I still do all the sad songs that I know

Well I play a lot of rock

And sometimes I play hip hop

And I may do a couple songs without my band...who knows?



But my long hair still won't cover up my redneck
