Verse 1
Well, the (G major) old man was covered
with tattoos and scars
(C major) He got some in prison and others in bars
(D major) And the rest he got workin'
on old junk cars in the daytime (G major)
they looked like like tombstones in our yard
(C major) And I never seen him
when he wasn't (D major) tired and mean
(G major)

Verse 2
Well, he (G major) sold used parts to make ends meet
(C major) Covered with grease
from his head to his feet
(D major) Cussing the sweat
and the Texas heat and mosquitoes (G major)
And the neighbors said we lived like hicks
(C major) But they brum their cars
for my (D major) pa to fix anyhow (G major)
Verse 3
While (G major) he was veteran proud, tried and true
(C major) He fought 'til his heart was black and blue
(D major) And I don't know how
how he made it through the hard (G major) times
He bought our house on the GI Bill
(C major) But it wasn't worth
all (D major) he had to kill to get it (G major)
Verse 4
He drank (G major) Pearl in a can, Jack Daniel's black
(C major) Chewed tobacco from a mail pouch sack
(D major) And he had an old dog
that was trained to attack sometimes (G major)
While he'd get drunk
and mean as a rattlesnake
(C major) Never wasn't too much
(D major) that he would take from a stranger (G major)
Pre-chorus 1
I was (C major) 13 kids and a (D major) bunch of dogs
A (G major) house full of chickens and a (C major) yard full of hogs
(D major) I spent the summertime
(C major) cuttin' up (D major) logs for the (G major) winter
(C major) Tryin' like the devil to (D major) find the Lord
(G major) Working like a slave for my (C major) room and board
(A minor) Cold burning stoves, no natural gas
And if that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass (G major)
Chorus 1
If that ain't country, (C major) (D major) it'll hair lift the (G major) pope
If that ain't country, (C major) (D major) it's a damn good (G major) joke
I've been on the (C major) grand old (D major) Opry
And (G major) I know Johnny Cash (C major)
And if he ain't country, (D major)
I'll kiss your (G major) ass
Verse 5
Well, my (G major) mama sold eggs at a grocery store
And (C major) my oldest sister was a first-rate whore
My (D major) daddy said she couldn't come
home anymore, and he meant (G major) it
Now, mama, she was old, far beyond her time
And her (C major) hair was gray,
and I've seen her crying
She was (D major) talking about Junior,
said he was dying in prison (G major)
Verse 6
Why, she (G major) told all the neighbors
he was off to the war
He was (C major) fighting for courage,
he was (D major) good to the core, and she was (G major) proud
Now, our house
was a graveyard for automobile
(C major) And around the porch
was a bunch of old wheels
And some (D major) used Harley-Davidson parts
that we sold for cash (G major)
Pre-chorus 2
There was (C major) 50 holes and an (D major) old tin roof
(G major) Me and my family was (C major) living proof
And (A minor) everybody called me old poor white trash
And if that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass (G major)
Chorus 2
If that ain't country, (C major) (D major) it'll hair lift the (G major) pope
If that ain't country, (C major) (D major) it's a damn good (G major) joke
I've been on the (C major) Grand Ole (D major) Opry
And (G major) I know Johnny Cash, (C major) mmm
And if he ain't country, (D major)
I'll kiss your (G major) ass
Outro 1
And I'm (G major) dreaming tonight of my (C major) blue eyes
Con (D major) cernin' the great speckled (G major) birds
I didn't know God made honky-tonk (C major) angels
And went (D major) back to the to the wild side of life (G major)
That a little late
(G major) (G major) (C major) (C major)
(D major) (D major) (G major) (G major)
(G major) (G major) (C major) (C major)
(D major) (D major) (G major) (G major)
