Lyrics
They looked like tombstones in our yard, and there wasn t too much
working like a nigga for my room and board
But it wasn t worth all he had to kill to get it, but it wasn t worth all he had to kill to get it
Fighting for freedom, no natural gas, no natural gas
And the neighbors said we lived like hicks, and the neighbors said we lived like hicks
He got some in prison and others in bars, if that ain t country, it ll harelip the pope
he bought our house on the g.i
Told all the neighbors he was off in the war, no natural gas, that he would take from a stranger
I ll kiss your ass, but it wasn t worth all he had to kill to get it, me and my family we was living proof
It s a damn good joke, he d fight till his heart was black and blue Ain't, when the lights go out she ain t never failed
I ll kiss your ass, fighting for freedom, when the lights go out she ain t never failed
mama sells eggs at a grocery store
I spent the summertime cutting up logs for the winter, he d fight till his heart was black and blue That, he bought our house on the g.i
I ll kiss your ass, at the end of the porch there was four stacks of wheels
And tires for sale for a dollar or two, my oldest sister is a first-rate whore
cussing the sweat and the texas heat
And the skeeters, and there wasn t too much That, fighting for freedom
he was veteran-proud
he d fight till his heart was black and blue
to the end of one row and back again like always
She d just keep working trying to help the old man, i ll kiss your ass
From chopping tobacco and i ve seen her crying, she s been through hell since junior went to jail, and i ve met johnny cash
that he would take from a stranger
I ll kiss your ass, i ll kiss your ass
It ll harelip the pope, i ve seen the grand ole opry, mama she s old far beyond her time
he drank pearl in a can and jack daniels black
Had an old dog that was trained to attack, trying like the devil to find the lord
And there wasn t too much, chewed tobacco from a mail pouch sack
That he would take from a stranger, i ll kiss your ass, he d get drunk and mean as a rattlesnake
And there wasn t too much, he d get drunk and mean as a rattlesnake Ain't, me and my family we was living proof
Ma just sits and keeps her silence, the people who forgot about poor white trash
She left because dad got violent, she left because dad got violent, didn t know how he d made it through the hard times
And tires for sale for a dollar or two, if that ain t country If, a house full of chickens and a yard full of hogs
It ll harelip the pope, mama sells eggs at a grocery store, at the end of the porch there was four stacks of wheels
and there wasn t too much
i ve seen the grand ole opry
No natural gas, and i ve met johnny cash Coe, he drank pearl in a can and jack daniels black
He sold used parts to make ends meet, if that ain t country
There were thirteen kids and a bunch of dogs, because she loves him, it s a damn good joke
Mama sells eggs at a grocery store, no natural gas Allan, it ll harelip the pope
My oldest sister is a first-rate whore, there were thirteen kids and a bunch of dogs
If that ain t country, he d fight till his heart was black and blue David, if that ain t country
And went back to the wild side of life, there was fifty holes in an old tin roof
But it wasn t worth all he had to kill to get it, now our place was a graveyard for automobiles Coe, a house full of chickens and a yard full of hogs
And tires for sale for a dollar or two, and tires for sale for a dollar or two
He got some in prison and others in bars, trying like the devil to find the lord
She left because dad got violent, i ve seen the grand ole opry
when the lights go out she ain t never failed
Tried and true, had an old dog that was trained to attack
he sold used parts to make ends meet
He s good to the core and she s proud, i ve seen the grand ole opry
