But I'm just an old man now covered with [Eb] scars
And most of my guys fighting in the [C] redneck bars
And a bunch of brand new tattoos this [Bb] wrench put on me
You know, he covered up the ones I got years ago
[Eb] Back in prison when I was just Dave Cole
[C] And I wasn't famous then and [Bb] I wasn't free
You know, I grew up in a three-room run-down [Eb] shack
At the foot of the hill by the railroad track
[Fm] Where decent folks don't go when the sun goes [Bb] down
My daddy worked at the Goodreturn River Company and he worked on [Eb] cars
My mama went to church and my daddy went to [Fm] bars
Most people just called it the hillbilly [Bb] part of town
Had a 55 Chevy when I was 15
[Eb]
I painted red cause I was still [F] green
Hell, I couldn't even [Bb] afford the diet gas
I had a .410
rifle and a Bowie knife too
Red men the banger that I liked to [Cm] chew
And we counted cars when the trains went past
If that ain't country, [Bb] I'll kiss your ass
If that ain't [F] country, get a hair and [Bb] let's smoke
If that ain't country, [F] it's a [Bb] damn good joke
I've been on the ground the whole time, babe
I know [Eb] Johnny Cash
And [F] if he ain't country, [Bb] I'll kiss your ass
You know, one of my sisters was a lady of [Eb] the night
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 [Eb] died
I said I'd forgive her, but I guess I [Fm] lied
Cause there ain't no way to hide [Bb] the way that I feel
Now me and my brothers took our sister [Eb] Diane
Down to the funeral home to see the old man
[Fm] Jimmy was the oldest and Diane, [Bb] she was the youngest one
Jack and Ray was in the middle and then there was [Eb] me
And I'm the one that turned 23
[Fm] And grew up to be that Yankees [Bb] rebel's son
Times are changing, I heard Bob Dylan say
[Eb] It's been 15 years now since my father passed [F] away
But I can still picture him in his [Bb] overalls
Standing around the house where he made his deals
[Eb]
Around the porch there was a bunch of old wheels
[C] Some used Harley-Davidson parts [Bb] that he sold for cash
[Eb] There was 50 holes in an old tin roof
[Bb]
Me and my family was living [Cm] proof
And everybody called us old poor white trash
That ain't country, I'll teach you how
That ain't country, [F]
put a hair in it before
That ain't country, [Bb] it's a damn good joke
[Eb] I've been on the ground all my life
[Bb] I know [Eb] Johnny Cash
[F] And if he ain't country, what?
[Bb] Everybody [F] ain't country, what?
[Bb] Everybody [F] ain't country, what?
[Cm]
