But I'm just an old man now covered with [Eb] scars
Most of my guys fighting in [D] redneck bars
And [C] a bunch of brand-new tattoos this French [Bb] put on me
You know he covered up the ones I got years ago
[Eb] Back in prison when I was just a go
[Fm] And I wasn't famous then [Bb] and I wasn't free
You know I grew up in a three-room run-down shack [Eb] at the foot of the hill by the railroad track
[F]
Where decent folks don't go [Bb] when the sun goes down
My daddy worked at the Goodriton Rubber Company and he worked on [Eb] cars
My mama went to church and my daddy went to bars
[Fm] Most people just called it the hillbilly part [Bb] of town
Had a 55 Chevy when I was 15
[Eb]
I painted red because I was still [Fm] green
Hell I couldn't even afford the diet [Bb] gas
[G] Had a .410
rifle and a Bowie knife [Bb] too
Red men the banger that I [Eb] liked to chew
[Cm] We counted cars when the trains went past
If that ain't country [Bb] I'll kiss your ass
If that [Eb] ain't country
[Bb] Who the hell is it for?
If that ain't country
[F] It's a [Bb] damn good joke
[Eb] I live on the [F] ground
Hold on [Bb] fast
I know [Eb] Johnny Cash
And if he [F] ain't country
[Bb] I'll kiss your ass
You know one of my sisters was a lady of the night
[Eb] And then one day she saw the light
[C] Now she don't do those things that she [Bb] used to do
She never made the funeral when my daddy died
[Eb] I said I'd forgive her but I guess I lied
[Fm] Cause there ain't no way to hide
The way that [Bb] I feel
Now me and my brothers took our sister Diane
Down to [Eb] the funeral home to see the old man
[Bb] [Fm] Jimmy was the oldest and Diane she was [Bb] the youngest one
Jack and Ray was in the middle
And then there was me
[Eb] And I'm the one that turned 23
[Fm] And grew up to be
That Yankees [Bb] rebel son
Times are changing I heard Bob Dylan say
[Eb] It's been 15 years now since my father passed away
[F]
But I can still picture him in his [Bb] overalls
Standing around the house where he made his deals
Around the porch there was a bunch of old wheels
[C] And some used Harley Davidson parts
That he [Bb] sold for cash
There [Eb] was 50 holes in an [C] old gen rear
[Bb] Me and my [Eb] family was living through
[Cm] And everybody called us old poor white trash
That ain't country [Bb] I'll kiss your eye
That [Eb] ain't country
[F] You'd have heard it [Bb] before
That ain't country
[F] They say [Bb] damn good joke
I've [Eb] been on the grand [F] old offer
[Bb] I know Johnny [Eb] Cash
And if [F] he ain't country What?
[Bb] And if that [F] ain't country What?
[Bb] [F] And if that ain't country What?
