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.

Hank Williams Junior - Junior Lyrics

David Allan Coe

I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Jr Jr anymore
Even though I know what all his daddy done before
Hank weighs close to two hundred pounds and he stands about six foot four
And it's hard to call Hank Williams Jr Jr anymore

Just a little bit of Waylon sure goes a long way
But old Tex Ritter rode his horse and that was hell to pay
Willie said don't nobody lay a hand on the bay
Jimmie Rodgers is the only reason that I'm standin' here today
And I ain't gonna call Hank Williams...
[ guitar ]
Hank sang it all right from the heart took the whole world by surprise
Stood right next to Elvis in Memphis and looked him straight in the eyes
Ten years later young Bocephus busted through the door
And I just can't call Hank Williams Jr Jr anymore
I ain't gonna call Hank Williams...
Ten years later young Bocephus...
