I 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 KNOW
WELL, 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 SONG
I'VE SEEN YOUR FACE A THOUSAND TIMES ON TV
I'VE HEARD YOU ON MY LOCAL RADIO
IT'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 SONG
BUT I'VE GOT TO TAKE A DRINK TO KEEP FROM SHAKEN'
David Allan Coe è un cantautore e chitarrista statunitense nato nel 1939, considerato uno dei pilastri della musica country outlaw degli anni '70. Conosciuto per il suo stile diretto, le canzoni provocatorie e la personalità irriverente, Coe ha sfidato le convenzioni del genere country tradizionale, abbracciando temi controversi come l'alcolismo, la violenza e la vita al limite. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "You Never Even Call Me By My Name", "Longhaired Redneck" e "The Ride". Coe ha collaborato con artisti di spicco come Willie Nelson e Johnny Cash, contribuendo a definire l'estetica del country outlaw. La sua influenza si estende fino ai giorni nostri, ispirando generazioni di musicisti country che hanno seguito le sue orme.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
