COUNTRY DEEJAYS KNOWS THAT I'M AN OUTLAW

THEY'D NEVER COME 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



LOUDMOUTH IN THE CORNER'S GETTING' TO ME

TALKIN' 'BOUT MY EARRINGS AND MY HAIR

I GUESS HE AIN'T READ THE SIGNS THAT SAY I'VE BEEN TO PRISON

SOMEONE OUGHT TO WARN HIM

'FORE I KNOCK HIM OFF HIS CHAIR



'CAUSE MY LONG HAIR JUST CAN'T COVER UP MY REDNECK

I'VE WON EVERY FIGHT I'VE EVER FOUGHT

AND I DON'T NEED SOME TURKEY TELLING' ME THAT I AIN'T COUNTRY

SAYING' I AIN'T WORTH DAMNED

OLD 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 ALLAN COE

AND THE BARMAID 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 JUKE BOX BROKE



YEAH, JOHNNY 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



AND 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 ALLAN COE



BUT THE COUNTRY D.J.'S ALL THINK I'M AN OUTLAW

AND THEY'D NEVER COME 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 LOU
