Another Pretty Country Song Lyrics

Artist: David Allan Coe
Album: Once Upon a Rhyme

By David Allan Coe and T. Clark

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'
