If That Ain't Country
In the style of
Lyrics
the old man
was covered with
tattoos and scars
he got some in prison
and others in bars
the rest
he got workin' on
old junk cars
in the daytime
they looked like
tombstones
in our yard
and i never seen him
when he wasn't
tired and mean
he sold used parts
to make ends meet
covered with grease
from his head
to his feet
cussin' the sweat
and the texas heat
and mosquiters
and the
neighbors said
we lived like hicks
but they brung
their cars
for paw to fix
anyhow
he was veteran proud
tried and true
he'd fought
till his heart
was black-and-blue
didn't know how
he'd made it through
the hard times
he'd bought our house
on a g.i. bill
but it wasn't worth
all he had to kill
to get it
he drank pearl
in a can and
jack daniel's black
chewed tobacco
from a mailpouch sack
had an old dog that
was trained to attack
sometimes
he'd get drunk and
mean as a rattlesnake
and there wasn't
too much that
he would take
from a stranger
there were
thirteen kids
and a bunch of dogs
house full
of chickens
and a yard full
of hogs
i spent the summertime
cuttin' up logs
for the winter
tryin' like the devil
to find the lord
workin' like a dog
for my room and board
coal burnin' stove
no natural gas
if that ain't country
i'll kiss your ass
if that ain't country
it'll harelip the pope
if that ain't country
it's a damn good joke
i've seen
the grand ole opry
and i've met
johnny cash
if that ain't country
i'll kiss your ass
mama sells eggs
at a grocery store
my oldest sister
is a first-rate whore
dad says
she can't come home
anymore
and he means it
ma just sits and
keeps her silence
sister she left
'cause dad got violent
and he knows it
mama she's old
far beyond her time
from choppin' tobacco
and i seen her cryin'
when blood started
flowin' from
her calloused hand
and it hurt me
she'd just
keep workin'
tryin' to help
the old man
to the end of one row
and back again
like always
she's been
through hell
since junior
went to jail
when the lights
go out
she ain't never failed
to get down
on her knees and pray
because she loves him
told all
the neighbors
he was off in the war
fightin' for freedom
he's good to the core
and she's proud
now our place
was a graveyard
for automobiles
at the end of
the porch
there was
four stacks of wheels
and tires for sale
for a dollar or two
cash
there was fifty holes
in the old tin roof
me and my family
was livin' proof
the people
who forgot about
poor white trash
and if
that ain't country
i'll kiss your ass
if that ain't country
it'll harelip the pope
if that ain't country
it's a damn good joke
i've seen
the grand ole opry
and i've met
johnny cash
if that ain't country
i'll kiss your ass
i'm thinkin' tonight
of my blue eyes
concerning
the great speckled
bird
i didn't know
god made
honky-tonk angels
and went back to
the wild side of life
