THE DOLD MAN WAS COVERED WITH TATOOS AND SCARS, HE GGOT SOME IN PRISON AND SOME IN THE BARS. 
THE AREST HE GOT WORKIN' ON OLD JUNK CARS IN THE DDAY TIME. 
THEY DLOOKED LIKE TOMBSTONES IN OUR YARD 
AND I GNEVER SEEN HIM WHEN HE AWASN'T TIRED AND DMEAN. 
HE DSOLD USED PARTS TO MAKE ENDS MEET, GCOVERED WITH GREASE FROM HIS HEAD TO HIS FEET, 
ACUSSIN' THE SUN AND THE TEXAS HEAT, AND THE DSKEETERS. 
AND THE DNEIGHBORS SAY WE LIVE LIKE HICKS, 
BUT THEY GBRING THEIR CARS FOR APA TO FIX DANYHOW. 
HE WAS DVET'RIN PROUD, TRIED AND TRUE, HE'D GFIGHT TILL HIS HEART WAS BLACK AND BLUE, 
ADIDN'T KNOW HOW HE'D MAKE IT THROUGH, THE DHARD TIMES. 
DBOUGHT OUR HOUSE ON THE G.I. BILL,  
BUT IT GWASN'T WORTH ALL HE AHAD TO KILL TO DGET IT. 
HE DRANK DPEARL IN A CAN AND JACK DANIELS BLACK, GCHEWED TOBACCO FROM A MAIL-POUCH SACK, 
AHAD AN OLD DOG THAT WAS TRAINED TO ATTACK, DSOMETIMES. 
DHE'D GET DRUNK AND MEAN AS A RATTLESNAKE,  
AND THERE GWASN'T TOO MUCH THAT AHE WOULD TAKE, FROM A DSTRANGER. 
THERE WAS G13 KIDS AND A ABUNCH OF DOGS, DHOUSE FULL OF CHICKENS AND A GYARD FULL OF HOGS, 
ASPENT THE SUMMERTIME GCUTTIN' UP LOGS FOR THE DWINTER. 
GTRYIN' LIKE THE DEVIL TO AFIND THE LORD, AND DWORKIN' LIKE A N---- FOR MY RGOOM AND BOARD, 
ACOAL BURNIN' STOVE, NO NATURAL GAS, AND IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR DASS. 
DIF THAT AIN'T GCOUNTRY, IT'LL HAIRLIP THE DPOPE, 
IF THAT AIN'T GCOUNTARY, IT'S A DAMN GOOD DJOKE. 
I'VE SEEN THE GGRAND 'OLE AOPRY AND DI MET JOHNNY GCASH, 
AND IF THAT AIN'T ACOUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR DASS. 
WELL, DMOMMA SOLD EGGS AT THE GROCERY STORE, MY GOLDEST SISTER WAS A FIRST-RATE WHORE, 
ADAD SAYS SHE CAN'T COME HOME ANY MORE, AND HE DMEANS IT. 
DMA JUST SITS AND KEEPS HER SILENCE 
GSISTER SHE LEFT 'CAUSE ADAD GOT VIOLENT, AND SHE DKNOWS IT. 
DMOMMA SHE'S OLD, FAR BEYOND HER TIME, FROM GCHOPPIN' TOBACCO 
AND I SEEN HER CRYIN WHEN ABLOOD STARTED FLOWIN' FROM HER CALLOUSED HANDS, AND IT DHURT ME. 
DBUT SHE'D JUST KEEP WORKIN' TRYIN' TO HELP THE OLD MAN,  
FROM THE GEND OF ONE ROW AND ABACK AGAIN,LIKE DALWAYS. 
SHE'D DBEEN THROUGH HELL SINCE JUNIOR WENT TO JAIL, AND WHEN THE GLIGHTS GO OUT SHE AIN'T NEVER FAILED, 
TO AGET DOWN ON HER KNEES AND PRAY, 'CAUSE SHE DLOVES HIM. 
DSHE TOLD ALL THE NEIGHBORS HE WAS OFF IN THE WAR, 
GFIGHTIN' FOR FREEDOM, HE'S AGOOD TO THE CORE, AND SHE'S DPROUD. 
DOUR PLACE WAS A GRAVEYARD FOR AUTOMOBILES, AT THE GEND OF THE PORCH WERE 4 STACKS OF WHEELS, 
AND ATIRES FOR SALE FOR A DOLLAR OR TWO, DCASH. 
THERE WERE G50 HOLES IN THAT AOLD TIN ROOF. 
DME AND MY FAMILY WAS GLIVIN' PROOF, 
OF APEOPLE WHO FORGOT ABOUT POOR WHITE TRASH 
AND IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY I'LL KISS YOUR DASS. 
DIF THAT AIN'T GCOUNTRY, IT'LL HAIRLIP THE DPOPE, 
IF THAT AIN'T GCOUNTARY, IT'S A DAMN GOOD DJOKE. 
I'VE SEEN THE GGRAND 'OLE AOPRY AND DI MET JOHNNY GCASH, 
AND IF THAT AIN'T ACOUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR DASS.
