G
[Verse 1]
C D G
Country DJs knows that I'm an outlaw
G C
They'd never come to see me in this dive
C G D/F# Em
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughing at the hippies
Am D
Who are praying they'll get out of here alive
[Verse 2]
C D G
The loud mouth in the corner's getting to me
G C
Talking about my earrings and my hair
C G D/F# Em
I guess he ain't read the signs that say I've been to prison
Am D
Someone ought to warn him before I knock him off his chair
[Verse 3]
C D G
Cause my long hair just can't cover up my redneck
G C
I've won every fight I've ever fought
C G D/F# Em
Hey, I don't need some turkey telling me that I ain't country
Am D
And sayin' I ain't worth the damned old ticket that he bought
[Chorus]
G C
Cause I can sing all them songs about Texas
D G D
And I still do all the sad ones that I know
G C
They tell me, I look like Merle Haggard
Am D
And sound a lot like David Allan Coe
[Verse 4]
C D G
And the barmaid in the last town that we played in
G C
Knew the words to every song I'd wrote
C G D/F# Em
She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album
Am D
Just about the time the jukebox broke
[Verse 5]
C D G
Yeah, Johnny Cash helped me get out of prison
G C
Long before Rodriguez stole that goat
C G D/F# Em
I've been the Rhinestone Cowboy for so long I can't remember
Am D
And I can do you every song Hank Williams ever wrote
[Chorus]
G C
And I can sing all them songs about Texas
D G D
And I still do all the sad ones that I know
G C
I can't help it, I look like Merle Haggard
Am D
And I sound a lot like David Allan Coe
[Verse 6]
C D G
But the country DJs all think I'm an outlaw
G C
And they'd never come to see me in this dive
C G D/F# Em
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughing at the hippies
Am D
Who are praying they'll get out of here alive
[Outro]
C D G
The loud mouth in the corner's getting to me
G C
Talking about my earrings and my hair
