Chords for David Allan Coe - Close Ties [A Live at Billy Bob's Texas Short]

_ That my son can go anywhere I go
Anywhere I go
So I don't know if I want him to come be raised in that lifestyle said, you know, he's been in Christian school
I said it's just the thing he needs
Is to come from that Christian school and get on this bus and learn about real fucking life lady
You know because that's what he's gonna be living in his real life
_ So my son coming with 15.
He's 17 years old now never been one minutes problem to me
I've never had a problem out of that boy
Like I said when I was his age I was on death row. _
So as far as I'm concerned
He's he is a great kid a talented kid smart kid.
He's not interested in drugs
He's all the things that you you worry about
He has no interest in that he drinks a little bit, but I think that's fine
I don't think that'll hurt him, you know cusses a lot
But he's had a bad example as a father as far as cussing is concerned
So I don't hold that against him either, but he tells you what he thinks what's on his mind
He doesn't beat around the bush about nothing if you ask him something
He's gonna give you a direct answer if you don't like it.
Fuck you.
That's too bad
_ [E] being in this band in particular is quite an experience [Eb] because
_ I'm really learning a lot because we had great musicians in this band and
We don't know what we're gonna play
[B] Like he told me how to play some chords threw me on the stage and said just watch what I'm doing
And I got to do that and that's cool because it's not it's not just teaching me scales or anything.
It's
Knowing how to be able to pick up on [G] something and just go with it.
And that's what you need to know
_ I've only been actually doing the touring playing thing for four months
But I've been the touring thing for like two years and I've been like on the road my whole life
And it's not easy, but I couldn't do anything else because I don't know anything else.
_ _ [E] I
Appreciate the fact that he can be my dad.
He [G] doesn't really
He's not business with me.
He can we can just sit and talk or we can sit and not talk.
It's fine.
Did you know? _
sometimes it's better just to sit not talk because
[E] Talking gets old [Eb] sometimes, you know, _ I'm happy with the arrangement that we have _
_ [B] That little monkey there's a thing that I got going on with my girlfriend
You know, like if I'm trying to write or something and she comes by to try to talk to me
I'll point to the monkey which means don't monkey
_ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
My [N] son likes to tell everybody that I'm not responsible
you know once I become David Allen Co the singer _ on stage and it's probably true because I
_ _ I don't know what happens, but I've always if I had an argument with my wife or something, you know
And I'd get on stage and start doing my show.
I might I might just stop in the middle thing
So, you know bitch, I've been just thinking about what you were saying _
You know and that ain't right.
It's you all just wait a minute here.
I [E] got to get something straight with this woman, you know
And I just go off in on the deep end, you know
_ I have the biggest problem with women that are my girlfriends and they'll say to me
Like I'll be somewhere and she'll say okay, I'm going to the bathroom
What two hours later the bitch still ain't back.
So I know Shane in the bathroom
Okay _
now
What I try to explain to them is this now if you and I are robbing a bank _ and I tell you
Sit in the goddamn car till I come out and I come out and you're over here looking at dresses in the shop down the street
I'm a dead motherfucker
You know what?
I mean?
You got to be in the car, bitch
If you said he was gonna be in the car, you got to be in the car, you know what I mean?
So now, you know, you know what I say, I tell my girlfriend I said today
This is what I'm gonna do if you want to do it with me
That's fine.
And if you don't then that's fine, too
You can find you something else to do but I don't give a fuck what you want to do.
I'm not interested in that
I'm only interested in what I want to do because this is about me
See if I die tomorrow, you're still gonna be living
_ _ So, you know and I'll tell you something
I got to be David Allen Coe in the morning when I wake up.
You don't have to be
You can get on a bus you can ride out of here.
You can catch a plane
I said, but I got to get up in the morning and I got to go out there and I got to do a show
Tonight it don't matter if my father died
20 minutes ago if my mother died if one of [B] my kids is in the hospital have an operation
I got to go out here and saying because that's what I said.
I would do I signed a contract to do that
That's what I got to do. _ _
_ I said so now in order for me to do that, you know
I got to be in the right frame of mind and there's certain things I want to do
Okay, and I said I like to gamble if you don't like to gamble that's fine
You find yourself something else to do, you know, but don't fuck with me
Don't come down and say are you gonna put any more money in that machine or don't you think you ought to get something to?
Eat or don't you think you know, I'll tell you when I want to eat
I'll tell you what I want to do whatever I want to do, you know
Now if I turn to you and say hey today's your day, huh?
What do you want to do?
You need to have your list.
I'll do whatever you want to do, you know
But I am through living my life
for other fucking [N] people
