Especially if it's a certain kind of dive redneck bikere bar, you know, the kind "Where bikers stare at cowboys, who are laughing at the hippies, who are praying they'll get out of here alive.." The one I used to visit had a sign on the door. "We've LOWERED our standards.. UP YOURS !!"
Absolutely, im only 24 so people never think in a million years id play stuff like this on touchtunes but when I did it's a heart filling feeling seeing all the old guys singing along. And then someone's got to ruin it with some new era rap or country.
My parents owned a bar for 15 years in CHICAGO. And this was/is the "BAR SONG" when it came on all the regulars would go crazy. Everyone knows the words to this day. We get into it late. And when someone new is around they are absoutly shocked. Imagine 25 people all jusy knowing a song most havent heard before sadly IMO. EVERY WORD!! HAHA LOVE it. last time was my brothers bday.
@@KevXRDukeDavid Allen Coe is a member of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club I'd say he probably did some pretty wild stuff in his days. Nah, he's the real deal. I actually know a couple of Outlaws and when David sings " Country DJs knows that I'm an Outlaw" I actually asked if that was true and was told yes, David is definitely an Outlaw, a real Outlaw.
Saw him at the White Elephant Saloon in Ft. Worth in the 80's and he sang the lyrics at the end 'I wonder why you don't ball me, you never even called me by my name' the crowd went wild!
Was stationed in TX decades ago. In one of the many dive bars off base, this song was a big hit with everybody, an was in heavy rotation on the juke box. Everytime it played, everybody stopped to sing along.
@@MarthaMyDear6 .....C Co 1/41 INF 2 A.D. Ft. Hood, Tx...... 11B and 11M10..... Sand Hill, Ft.Benning, GA...... Spirit of the Bayonet...I left Tx. in a hurry and like Ray and Willie say.........🦂
back in the day, i burned a CD for my huband with this song and he stopped loving her today, along with 10 others. usually these are the only two songs he ever listened to on that CD......as a matter of fact, i'd usually listen to only those two!!! great songs!
I saw a David Allan Coe T-shirt in the speakeasy in Peterborough, Ontario, on George Street, on a man's back. Thank goodness I started listening to David Allan Coe! I love old country music. My parents raised me on Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr., Jim Reeves, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Willie Nelson, and many more.
The closing song almost nightly at the bar/ nightclub I ran down in Larose, LA. It also was the signal to get your girl and get ready to make some serious love.oh yeah, we were usually stoned/drunk out of our minds singing this to the top of our lungs too
Wild because I was just thinking how this came on a lot in Hammond, La when I was in the bars there. Of course the final song at our bar was always Dinosaur by Hank Jr but this one brings me back to a smoky Louisiana bar as much as any. Well…Maybe “Get Low” by the Ying Yang Twins
Wonder if DAC... oh excuse me, I mean David Allan Coe... knows that he's still being worshiped for his rendition of one of the greatest ever country songs!! 🤩😍💖
Monday group on Facebook David had Covid at 81 I sure hope the man pulls out of it he's a tough man but so is that crap my prayers go out to him cause there will never be another DAC !!
Years ago lived in New York City. Bar downtown, East Village called “ The Village Idiot”.Man, every Friday. and Saturday night, near closing , this would be on the jukebox, over and over again. What a song.!!!!! This dude was the craziest of all the “Country Outlaws”. Just did not give a Rat’s Ass.!!!That song is incredible!!!!! 😂😂😢😢🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Love this SONG*...saw him in Concert many, many years ago at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri* STILL..hold this as one of the Finest Country Western songs EVER made!!!
This was our "Tree Song" at the "Wranger" back in the 80's in Nashville! We All Loved it! It got Everyone on the dance floor dancing in line around the "tree" in the middle of the dance floor!! Such Great Memories!!💕
Fucking Legend right there. Saw him many many years ago in Ft Worth, TX. RECENTLY, it came to my attention that some no name nobody Casino security guards roughed up DAC. must have been 10 years ago, all the same, there was a time he could damn sure stand his ground. Taking advantage of elders is never good. Especially someone like DAC.
That makes me uncomfortably angry. DAC is the very soul of outlaw country, without him it wouldn't exist. Time was it would take 4-5 to have the balls to ask him to leave.
If you're a man and you stand on your own feet Make your own Way in this world vineyard that he likes you color doesn't matter when it comes to that bein big fan me years ago in mountain home Arkansas I was 17 and 54 now it's still a fan
Boy !! You got that right !... I don't recognize the weak lame-ass garbage that passes for C&W these days.. Hank Jr kinda sums it up in his song "Those Days Are Gone" from a couple years back..
How can you put this guy up there as a legend when people knows what he is. A writer not. Oh maybe 2 songs to boot. Other then that a floating druggie. He lied constantly to make himself look good. So please dont put him up there with merle george jones marty waylon hank and so on.
There was Hank Williams, then there was Johnny Cash, but David Allan Coe is country for all people. The greatest of them all. I think that even David Bowie, who hated country, might have been won over had he heard David's body of work.
I rode from River Grove to Joliet, Illinois, in a 1956 Buick in a steady drizzle. And I can identify with these lyrics. My buddy's Mom was in the back seat. Cigarette ashes went out the vent and worked their way across the window.
Steve Goodman wrote this song, a good Chicagoan and Cubs fan. He died way too young. He also wrote "City of New Orleans", recorded by Woodie Guthrie and covered by Willie Nelson -- which you need to listen to, if you haven't already. It's sad to think of all the great songs Steve would have written, that we will never hear, because he was taken too soon. I guess it's true, only the good die young.
DAC is a country rebel. I think he is the grossest dude who writes the most awesome songs. I'd love to go to one of his concerts and throw down way too many beers.
That's gotta be the Longhorn Ballroom cuz he says Dallas, Texas at the end & the Longhorn was in its heydey in 74. The Sex Pistols would play there 4 years later right after Merle Haggard played there.
Now this is a perfect country and western song.
distracty distracterson Absolute truth. 🦄🦄🦄
Made me laugh. Blessings
Best impressionist new to David Allen coe march 2021 and love him
Jimmie Rogers
It ain't the perfect country and western song...cause you ain't said nothin about mama...
the quickest way to get an entire bar singing is to play this song on the juke box.
Especially if it's a certain kind of dive redneck bikere bar, you know, the kind "Where bikers stare at cowboys, who are laughing at the hippies, who are praying they'll get out of here alive.." The one I used to visit had a sign on the door. "We've LOWERED our standards.. UP YOURS !!"
...or "Willin' " by Little Feat...

more than a couple of times i've seen everyone in a bar standing in their chair singing along with this song at the top of their lungs
Absolutely, im only 24 so people never think in a million years id play stuff like this on touchtunes but when I did it's a heart filling feeling seeing all the old guys singing along. And then someone's got to ruin it with some new era rap or country.
When I finish building my time machine, I will be going to this show.
Can I tag along?

David Allan Coe, at his best. We need more Outlaws in Country Music

Why don't you ever call me by my FUCKIN NAAAAMEEEE hell yeah. sing it DAC.
That part is what makes it the perfect country and western song.
I laughed my ass off when he said fucking. I would have cried laughing if he would have said mother fucking name.
What makes this even cooler is that this performance is from before the song was released in 1975.
David Allan Coe my favorite !
Really? Cool indeed. Thanks.
Nice observation.
This show is actually in 1975
He's a real honest to god outlaw with a perfect country voice and he writes some great songs, and still kicking last I heard.
This is by far my favorite version of this song
this show is off the charts
Amazing
This guy kills it!!!!
I mean DAVID ALLEN COE kills it,gotta call him by his name!!!!
my dad once sat next to him in a bar& they chatted for a WHILE before dad even caught on
This and He stopped loving her today are the two finest songs written and recorded.
Dude, that's the song I just listened to before this one. So fucking true
