Another Pretty Country Song
By David Allan Coe and T. ClarkI BOUGHT THIS RHINESTONE SUIT IN CALIFORNIA
THESE BOOTS CAME ALL THE WAY FROM MEXICO
THIS CADILLAC AIN'T NOTHING', SON
YOU OUGHT TO SEE THE GREYHOUND
I BOUGHT TO TAKE MY BAND FROM SHOW TO SHOW
SEEN MY FACE A THOUSAND TIMES ON TV
AND HEARD ME ON YOUR LOCAL RADIO
AND IN YOUR EYES I SEE THE ADMIRATION THERE FOR ME
BUT, SON, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT OUGHT TO KNOWWELL, I'VE GOT TO TAKE A DRINK TO KEEP FROM SHAKEN'
MOTEL ROOMS AIN'T NOTHING LIKE A HOME
MONEY CAN'T MAKE LOVE GROW ANY STRONGER
WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR WOMAN HOME ALONE
SHE CAN'T RAISE THE CHILDREN WITH NO DADDY
SHE CAN'T LOVE A MAN THAT'S ALWAYS GONE
IT TAKES A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN PRIDE
TO KEEP YOUR FEELINGS LOCKED INSIDE
WHILE YOU SING ANOTHER PRETTY COUNTRY SONGI'VE SEEN YOUR FACE A THOUSAND TIMES ON TV
I'VE HEARD YOU ON MY LOCAL RADIOIT'S TRUE I TOOK SOME PILLS TO STAY AWAKE, SON
AND THIS DIAMOND RING I WEAR IS JUST FOR SHOW
I'VE GOT A LITTLE CABIN IN THE COUNTRY
WHEN I'M NOT ON THE ROAD THAT'S WHERE I GO
TRY AND PUT MY FEELINGS DOWN ON PAPER
RIGHT OR WRONG THE SHOW HAS TO GO ON
I CAN CRY DEEP DOWN INSIDE AND KEEP ON SMILING'
WHILE I SING ANOTHER PRETTY COUNTRY SONGBUT I'VE GOT TO TAKE A DRINK TO KEEP FROM SHAKEN'
