I usually hear Country Music and just laugh at how dumb it is, but D.A.C really knocked my socks off. He has this delicious voice, and these unbelievable lyrics and when you match that up with his badass persona, you have pure magic. I know I can't be the only person here whose life has been changed by D.A.C, what do you guys think of ole D.A.C?
Talk about opening up a can of worms
I think it depends on the song. I refuse to admit on this site that I was in any way highly amused by some of his racist songs.
Yeah, I just laugh at his openness about it. He will drop N-bombs like it ain't nothing
. Although I don't agree with his use of it, I can't help but to laugh.
I just learned how to play "Living on the Run" and "Long Haired Redneck" on guitar, and even in those songs he kills a women in Tennesee and nearly knocks a loudmouth off his chair. Gotta love it.
Child, we share a similar sense of humour, considered seriously sick by others.
Very seriously sick. I've scared off many a women with it, but if they can't accept it, F them.

In a locked basement or an alley?
Hah
Just last night my lady said something like this "There is nothing like a good joke about a penis or a fart." I swear she is perfect for me.
Sweet...good luck to both of you.

Thanks, but back on topic...What is your favorite D.A.C song?
Erm, if I post it here, it will most likely be censored.
I've got a whole CD burned of his stuff...
Not all of his is racist... he sang that song called "The Ride" talking about the ghost of Hank WIlliams that is really cool... and the one about his wife running off with a ... well with someone else lol
You have to check out Johnny Rebel's song She ran off with a .... It has a funny little twist to it that will make you laugh.
"Young Dallas Cowboy", which was on "Rides Again". His website --
http://www.davidallancoe.com/index.htm -- indicates that album was released in 1977, but that isn't accurate. I was listening to this song in 1974 or 5, prior to graduating HS in '76. Here are the lyrics (my favorite stanzas I put in red):
Well, I've hiked through the sage brush,
I ran up some rail
I slept on the bench in a few county jails
And they laughed as they knocked all the wind from my sails
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
I've tried hard to tackle the problems at hand
I've kicked a few habits, and I've marched to the band
I tried hard to follow the lay of the land
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
I've made a few passes that weren't incomplete
I stumbled through yards on my way to the street
Running from beds where I did more than sleep
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
Well, he tackled the bottle and he fumbled the ball
And he'd touchdown in alleys along where he'd fall
Just waitin' for his son to make up for it all
When I was a young Dallas Cowboy
When I was a baby, he broke up the team
Divorcin' my Mama to live with a dream
He had back in college when he was still green
And I was a young Dallas Cowboy
Now the footballs I held did not fit in my hand
Got me a guitar and I've got me a band
So don't put me down when I'm taking my stand
Be proud of this young Dallas Cowboy
Yeah I'm proud I'm a young Dallas Cowboy
Be proud of those young Dallas Cowboys
He mentions his stay in prison a lot, what's the story behind that?
From the biography on the website:
Quote:From the age of nine, Coe was in and out of reform schools, correction centers and prisons. According to his publicity handout, he spent time on Death Row after killing a fellow inmate who demanded oral sex. When Rolling Stone magazine questioned this, Coe responded with a song, 'I'd Like To Kick The **** Out Of You'. Whatever the truth of the matter, Coe was paroled in 1967...
Lyrics from "If That Ain't Country" (sorry abut the all-caps). It's a song that's mostly spoken as well:
THE OLD MAN WAS COVERED WITH TATTOOS AND SCARS
HE GOT SOME IN PRISON AND OTHERS IN BARS
THE REST HE GOT WORKIN' 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
CUSSIN' THE SWEAT AND THE TEXAS HEAT
AND MOSQUITERS
AND THE NEIGHBORS SAID WE LIVED LIKE HICKS
BUT THEY BRUNG THEIR CARS FOR PAW 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
AND 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 CUTTIN' UP LOGS FOR THE WINTER
TRYIN' LIKE THE DEVIL TO FIND THE LORD
WORKING' LIKE A NIGGER FOR MY ROOM AND BOARD
COAL-BURNIN' STOVE, NO NATURAL GAS
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
MAMA SELLS EGGS AT A GROCERY STORE
MY OLDEST SISTER IS A FIRST-RATE WHORE
DAD SAYS SHE CAN'T COME HOME ANYMORE
AND 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 WORKIN' 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 CORPS
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 WAS LIVIN' 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
(sung)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
Hmm, I just saw the titles of a lot of his X-Rated songs and they really made me laugh. "Nothing Like a Blow Job In The Morning" "Leroy The Big Lipped..." "Anal Sex". HAH, is he still alive?
