I'm a cosmic cowboy
A big time player
I like Pantera, Kid Rock, and Slayer
I like Ice-T the rapper I mean
When it comes to drinkin' I like Jim Beam
I play well strung guitars with a rebel flag
But I don't wear make-up or dress in drag
I smoke a lot, I'm a whiskey drinker
I ain't no hick songwriter 
I'm a pretty neat thinker
I'm glad you came to see me put on a show
My name is David Allan Coe I came to let you know that..

[Chorus]
I've been tryin' to have a real good time
Forget about thinkin' tryin' to free my mind
I've been tryin' to have a real good time
Forget about thinkin' tryin' to free my mind

I own my own limosuine and a Cadillac
I got a million dollar tour bus and that's a fact
I ain't broke but I ain't rich
I call women honey not hoe or bitch
I'm into Tanya Tucker, Twisted Brown Truck
The Allman Brothers Band and Marshall Tucker
I'm not in this for money I do it for fun
And I don't shoot dope but I will shoot my gun

I ain't no phony dude 
I'm the real thing baby
Just like Rob Zombie just like Slim Shady

[Chorus]
And I've been tryin' to have a real good time
Forget about thinkin' tryin' to free my mind
I've been tryin' to have a real good time
Forget about thinkin' tryin' to free my mind

I like Prince Purple Rain, Henry's Purple Haze

I like Pete Seeger, Bob Seeger, Motorhead

You know I tri
