"Missin' The Kid"

"Missin' The Kid"



I can’t believe after all of these years I still miss you
Why won’t your memory leave me the same way you did
Taking all but my pride honey one things for certain
Missing you’s nothing compared to missing the kid

She was the light of my life she could brighten the darkness
If not for her we’d have nothing to show for it all
You took what’s left of what once was my reason for livin’
Livin’ without her is no reason for living at all

Someday shell ask you to answer a lot of old questions
What will you tell her about me if she wants to know
She was too young to remember the reason you left me
If you found a reason to tell her I’d sure like to know

I tell myself that it’s all for the best if I don’t try to see her
Seeing her now would not make up for all she’s been through
Watching two people she once called her mother and father
Acting like stranger that’s something I just could not do

I can’t believe after all of these years I still miss you
Why won’t your memory leave me the same way you did
Taking all but my pride one things for certain
Missing you is nothing compared to missing the kid

"Mississippi River Queen"

"Mississippi River Queen"



Hey, California you don't know me
New York city you can't show me
Anything I haven't seen at least a hundred times before
I still love you, New Orleans, Mississippi river queen
'cause when it comes to loving' you beat all I've ever seen!

And I've seen a lot of ladies in my time
I've had me a few women that were fine
Ah, but I don't need no city woman messing' with my mind
So goodbye San Francisco girl, I'm leaving' you behind.

And I've had some senoritas down in Mexico
I met a few potatoes up in Idaho
I've had a few peaches in Georgia and that San Antoine rose
If the good lord made any better
That you he's the only one who knows

"Mississippi Woman"

"Mississippi Woman"



With your lips so tender baby,and your eyes so bright.
Thought I'd write a letter, just to let you know,
Mississippi Woman, baby, that I love you so, child.

Got into some trouble, down in Mexico.
Robbed a man in San Juan, and I shot a guy called Joe.
Now I'm being hunted and the law is on my trail.
Next time I write you woman, I guess I'll be in jail.
Mississippi Woman, try to understand,
Please don't sit around and wait for this lonely man.

Caught me in Kentucky, the judge gave me a dime,
Bought a hacksaw from a trustee and I got away that time.
Right now, I'm in Florida, on my way to Tennessee.
Mississippi Woman, baby, save your love for me, child.

Mississippi Woman, with your long black hair,
Gee, I really miss you baby and I wish that you were here.
Oh, how you used to love me woman, every lonely night,
With your lips so tender baby, and your eyes so bright.
Thought I'd write a letter, just to let you know,
Mississippi Woman, baby, that I love you so, child.

Mississppi Woman...

Mississippi Woman!

Mississippi Woman...

"Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile"

"Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile"



Mona Lisa lost her smile
The painter's hands are trembling now
And if she's out there running wild
It's just because I taught her how

The masterpiece that we had planned
Is laying shattered on the ground
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now

And the eyes that used to burn for me
Now they no longer look my way
And the love that used to be
Why, it just got lost in yesterday

And if she seems cold to the touch
Well there used to burn a flame
I gave too little, took too much
Till I erased the painter's name

Mona Lisa lost her smile
The painter's hands are trembling now
And if she's out there running wild
It's just because I taught her how

The masterpiece that we had planned
Is laying shattered on the ground
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now

Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now
And if she's out there running wild
It's just because I taught her how

And the masterpiece that we had planned
It's laying shattered on the ground
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now

"My Elusive Dreams"

"My Elusive Dreams"



I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I followed you to Alabam', things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on

I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams

I had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on

And now we've left Alaska, because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moves on
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone

I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams

"My Girl"

"My Girl"



I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooh

I don't need no money, fortune, or fame
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl

I've even got the month of May
With my girl

"N.Y.C. Streets"


[Spoken:]

[David Allan Coe:]
I thought what was cool, was... uh, rockin' Rita
Looking for a Dimebag, like, people who don't
Know who you are think it's some chick lookin'
For dope.

[Dimebag:]
Exaclty.

[David Allan Coe:]
[Laughs]

[Dimebag:]
You know it's all about the lyrics.

[David Allan Coe:]
You know what I mean?

[Dimebag:]
Yeah, man.

[David Allan Coe:]
Yeah, I hear ya.

[Dimebag:]
Here we go...

[Sung:]

Cowboy junkies on the radio
Singin' some ol' funky tune
Time to change the station
He says: Stop the car
Let me out

I say hey, dude
What's that all about
The artist formally known as
Man, that's insane
Purple Rain, hey dude
Cut me some slack
What's his real name

Bridge, man

New York City streets
Horns blowin'
I don't care
People goin' God knows where

Freaks on the corner
Hair dyed blue
Lookin' at me
But I'm lookin' at you

I wonder
What am I doin' here
What am I doin' here

Whiskey signs
Fashion in my mind
Time to get loaded
And get out of this town

Pantera on the Marquee
Better stay one more day
Iron Maiden, Motorhead
Fuck, heavy metal ain't dead

Hey dude
What's that you said
Rockin' Rita
Lookin' for a Dimebag
What's up with that dude
Ah, turn the music up
Turn the music up

Go to the bridge, now

New York City streets
Horns blowin'
I don't care
People goin' God knows where
I don't care

Freaks on the corner
Hair dyed blue
Lookin' at me
And I'm lookin' at you

What am I doin' here
God, what am I doin' here
You say your name is

[Spoken:]
Hey dude, check it out. I got this tape by some
Friends of mine, called Punk Jack. Ey, good, you
Gotta hear these guys. They ain't got no record
Deal. What difference does that make? You don't
Need a record deal, motherfucker - listen to the
Music, dude.

Fuckin' A, dude

"Nigger Fucker"

"Nigger Fucker"



She said someday I'd understand
What love was all about
She said I could have the kids
She was movin out
Said she'd finally found a man
Who's dick was so much bigger
Then that scumbag motherfucker
Ran off with a nigger

And to think I'd ate the pussy
Where that big, black dick had been
And kissed the lips that sucked him off
Time and time again
It's enough to make a man throw up
Sure is hard to figure
How any decent girl could ever fuck
A greasy nigger

He treated her just like a queen
She gave him all my money
It looks like the joke's on me
But I don't think it's funny
That pussy ain't worth payin for
As far as I can figure
Cause there's nothing quite as worthless
As a white girl with a nigger

And to think I'd ate the pussy
Where that big, black dick had been
And kissed the lips that sucked him off
Time and time again
It's enough to make a man throw up
Sure is hard to figure
How any decent girl could ever fuck
A God damn nigger
So for all you nigger lovin whores
This song is just for you

"Niggerhatin' Me"

"Niggerhatin' Me"



I like sugar, and I like tea
But I don't like niggers
No Siree
Theres two long things
that will make me puke
thats a hog eatin slop
and a big black spook

you know it cause I show it
like a barn yard rooster I crow it
And the NAACP
would sure like to get a hold of niggerhatin' me

Roses are red,
and Violets are blue,
and niggers are black
you know thats true
they don't mind
cause what the heck
you gotta be black to get a welfare check
and I'm broke no joke
I ain't gotta nickel for a coke
and I ain't black you see
so Uncle Sam won't help poor Niggerhatin' me

Jiggaboo Jiggaboo where are you
Out here in the woodpile watching you
Jiggaboo Jiggaboo come out
no sir I scard of the White man way down south
you know it cause I show it
stick your black head out and I'll blow it
and The NAACP can't keep you away from little ol niggerhatin' me

Mirror Mirror
on the wall
who is the blackest of them all
a man named King it ain't no dought
he's causin' lots of trouble with his Baboon mouth
Through it hes a doin' its caused by the trouble hes a brewin'
And the NAACP can't win if the white man stick with Niggerhatin' me

Hey mister president what do you say
when are we whites gonna have our day
niggers had theirs such a long long time
I'm white and its time that I have mine
you know it and I show it stick your black head out and I'll blow it
and the NAACP can't win if the white man stick with Niggerhatin' me

"No Compromise"

"No Compromise"


[Spoken:]
This is David Allan Coe and the Cowboys From Hell,
And everything we do, we do 110%. That's the
Bottom line, and that means no compromise.

I'm guilty, nut I'll drink myself innocent
Recklessly honest, but I'm content
I ain't scared of nothin', I'm in control
I am my own master, nobody owns my soul

No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise

I'm innocent, but I'll drink till I'm guilty
You live in a state of confusion
I live in ahe state of Texas
You follow some leader, I follow my mind
That's what happens, my friend
When the blind leads the blind

No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise

When it comes, just break it
Ow, bottom's up

No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
Never!
