Country DJ's knows that I'm an outlaw
 They'd [bad word] to see me in this dive
 Where bikers stare at cowboys
 Who are laughing at the hippies
 Who are praying they'll get outta here alive
 The loud mouth in the corner's gettin' to me
 Talking 'bout my earrings and my hair
 I guess he ain't read the signs that say I been to prison
 Someone ought to warn him 'fore I knock him off his chair

 Cause my longhair just can't cover up my red neck
 I've won every fight I've ever fought
 Hey I don't need some turkey telling me that I ain't country
 And sayin' I ain't worth the damned ol' ticket that he bought

 Cause I can sing all them songs about Texas
 And I still do all the sad ones that I know
 They tell me I look like Merle Haggard
 And sound a lot like David Allen Coe

 And the bar maid in the last town that we played in
 Knew the words to every song I'd wrote
 She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album
 Just about the time the jukebox broke
 Yeah Johhny Cash helped me get out of prison
 Long before Rodriguez stole that goat
 I've been the Rhinestone Cowboy for so long I can't remember
 And I can do you every song Hank Williams ever wrote

 Cause I can sing all them songs about Texas
 And I still do all the sad ones that I know
 I can't help it, I look like Merle Haggard
 And I sound a lot like David Allen Coe

 But the country DJ's all think I'm an outlaw
 And they'd [bad word] to see me in this dive
 Where bikers stare at cowboys
 Who are laughing at the hippies
 Who are praying they'll get out of here alive
 The loud mouth in the corner's gettin' to me
 Talking 'bout my earrings and my hair............
