I grew up as number 5 of six boys. We damn sure worked our asses off cutting up logs for the winter. Had a tin roof that had so many holes every year I’d be up there with my pops and brothers helping bring tools and roofing nails and water from the time I was five years old till the day I left. Splitting all that wood along with everything else that comes with living off the land was sure hard work, but I’m so thankful for it today at 36 years old. If that ain’t country…..

, “If That Ain’t Country (I’ll Kiss Your Ass),” finds Coe uttering a racial slur on record for the first time, singing the line “Workin’ like a nigger for my room and board.” The song paints a picture of a Texas family that verges on caricature, with the narrator describing his tattooed father as “veteran proud” and deeming his oldest sister “a first-rate whore.” While comparatively tame next to the pair of underground X-rated albums he would record later, the song further alienated Coe from the country mainstream and kick-started accusations that he was a racist, a charge he always vehemently denied. In 2004 he remarked: I am a songwriter, you know, and to me it has always bothered me that actors in the movies can say whatever they want to say, kill people, rape people and do things and no one ever accuses them personally of being that way. But when you write a song and then all of a sudden you are being accused of something. To me, songwriting is painting a picture and all you have to work with is words… I grew up with all my life hearing, “lazy as a Mexican,” “stingy as a Jew,” “working like a nigger,” or “dumb as a Polock.” It’s stereotype stuff that you hear growing up that immediately puts a picture in your head

The old man was covered with tattoos and scars He got some in prison and others in bars The rest he got working on old junk cars In the daytime They looked like tombstones in our yard And I never seen him when he wasn't tired and mean He sold used parts to make ends meet Covered with grease from his head to his feet Cussing the sweat and the Texas heat And mosquitos And the neighbors said we lived like hicks But they brung their cars for pa to fix anyhow He was veteran-proud, tried and true He'd fought 'till his heart was black and blue Didn't know how he'd made it through the hard times He bought our house on the G.I. bill But it wasn't worth all he had to kill to get it He drank Pearl in a can and Jack Daniels black Chewed tobacco from a mail pouch sack Had an old dog that was trained to attack Sometimes He'd get drunk and mean as a rattlesnake There wasn't too much That he would take from a stranger There were thirteen kids and a bunch of dogs A house full of chickens and a yard full of hogs I spent the summertime cutting up logs for the winter Tryin' like the devil to find the lord Workin' like a nigger for my room and board Coal-burnin' stove, no natural gas If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass If that ain't country It'll hair lip the pope If that ain't country It's a damn good joke I've seen the Grand Ole Opry And I've met Johnny Cash If that ain't country I'll kiss your ass Mama sells eggs at a grocery store My oldest sister is a first-rate whore Dad says she can't come home anymore He means it Ma just sits and keeps her silence Sister, she left 'cause dad got violent And he knows it Mama she's old, far beyond her time From chopping tobacco and I've seen her cryin' When blood started flowin' from her calloused hand And it hurt me She'd just keep working, tryin' to help the old man To the end of one row and back again like always She's been through hell since Junior went to jail When the lights go out she ain't never failed To get down on her knees and pray Because she loves him Told all the neighbors he was off in the war Fighting for freedom He's good to the core and she's proud Now our place was a graveyard for automobiles At the end of the porch there was four stacks of wheels And tires for sale for a dollar or two Cash There was fifty holes in an old tin roof Me and my family we was living proof The people who forgot about poor white trash And if that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass If that ain't country It'll hair lip the pope If that ain't country It's a damn good joke I've seen the Grand Ole Opry And I've met Johnny Cash If that ain't country I'll kiss your ass I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes Concerning the great speckled bird I didn't know god made honky-tonk angels And went back to the wild side of life
