THE OLD MAN
WAS COVERED WITH

TATTOOS AND SCARS
HE GOT SOME IN PRISON
AND OTHERS IN BARS

THEREST
HE GOT WORKIN' 0N

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 l

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 l

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
JACKDAMEUSBLACK
CHEWED TOBACCO
FROM A MAILPOUCH SACK
HADANOLDDOGTHAT
WAS TRAINED T0 ATTACK

SOMETIMES l

HE'D GET DRUNK AND
MEAN AS A RATTLESNAKE
AND THERE WASN'T
TOO MUCH THAT
HE WOULD TAKE
FROM A STRANGER

g

(SUNG)
THERE WERE

THIRTEEN KIDS
AND A BUNCH OF DOGS

HOUSE FULL
OF CHICKENS
AND A YARD FULL
OF HOGS

(SPOKEN)

I SPENT THE SUMMERTIME
CUTTIN' UP LOGS
FOR THE WINTER

(SUNG)
TRYIN' LIKE THE DEVIL

TO FIND THE LORD
WORKIN' LIKE A DOG
FOR MY ROOM AND BOARD

(SUNG)
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

(SPOKEN)
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY
I'LL KISS YOUR Ass

(SPOKEN)
MAMA SELLS EGGS

AT A GROCERY STORE

KEEPS HER SILENCE

SISTER SHE LEFT
'CAUSE DAD GOT VIOLENT
AND HE KNOWS IT

MAMA SHE'S OLD

FROM CHOPPIN'TOBACCO
AND I SEEN HER CRYIN'
WHEN BLOOD STARTED
FLOWN FROM
HER CALLOUSED HAND

AND IT HURT ME I

SHE'D JUST
KEEP WORKIN'
TRYIN' TO HELP

THE OLD MAN

TO THE END OF ONE ROW
AND BACK AGAIN
LIKE ALWAYS

WHEN THE LIGHTS
GO OUT
SHE AIN'T NEVER FAILED
TO GET DOWN
ON HER KNEES AND PRAY
BECAUSE SHE LOVES HIM

g

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 0F WHEELS
AND TIRES FOR SALE
FOR A DOLLAR OR TWO
CASH

(SUNG)
THERE WAS FIFTY HOLES

INTHE OLD TIN ROOF
ME AND MY FAMILY
WAS LIVIN' PROOF

(SUNG)
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

(SPOKEN)
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY
I'LL KISS YOUR Ass

(SUNG)
I'M THINKIN' TONIGHT
OF MY BLUE EYES

CONCERNING
THE GREAT SPECKLED

GOD MADE

HONKY-TONK ANGELS
AND WENT BACK TO
THE WILD SIDE OF LIFE
