And the barmaid in the last town that we played in.

Ya Jonny Cash helped me get out of prison.
Long before Rodriquez stole that goat.

And I can do you every song Hank Williams ever wrote.

And I still do all the sad one's that I know.

And sound alot like David Allen Coe.

And the barmaid in the last town that we played in
Knew the words to every song I wrote
She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album
Just about the time the jukebox 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 still do all the sad ones that I know
I can't help it, I look like Merle Haggard
I sound a lot like David Allan Coe

But the country DJ'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 prayin' they'll get out of here alive
The loudmouth in the corner's gettin' to me
Talkin' 'bout my earrings and my hair...
