A life-long renegade, singer/songwriter David Allan Coe was one of the most colorful and unpredictable characters in country music history. One of the pioneering artists of the outlaw country movement of the '70s, he didn't have many big hits — only three of his singles hit the Top Ten — but he was among the biggest cult figures in country music throughout his career. Born in Akron, OH, Coe first got into trouble with the law at age nine. As a result, he was sent to reform school. For the next 20 years, he never spent more than a handful of months outside of a correctional facility — he spent much of his twenties in the Ohio State Penitentiary.

Blue Grass Morning Lyrics

David Allan Coe

She packed her bags and moved to Florida I've been blue since she's been gone
And this bowling green motel room is now my old Kentucky home
All she left me was some whiskey and these funny cigarettes she rolled
It must have been her main intention to watch our dreams go up in smoke
It's another blue grass morning I'm gonna blow my mind away
In this smoke old motel room looks like it's gonna be another blue grass day
[ guitar ]
She's soakin' up the sun in Florida I'm smokin' up this motel room
She's sippin' drinks down by the ocean I'm guzzlin' blue Kentucky moon
It's another blue grass morning...
[ guitar - banjo ]
