David Allan Coe — Another Pretty Country Song

[Verse 1] I bought this rhinestone suit in California These boots came all the way from Mexico This Cadillac ain't nothin' son you oughta see the Greyhound I bought to take my band from show to show [Verse 2] Seen my face a thousand times on TV And heard me on your local radio And in your eyes I see the admiration there for me But son there's something that you ought to know [Verse 3] Well I've got to take a drink to keep from shakin' Motel rooms ain't nothing like a home Money can't make love grow any stronger When you leave your woman home alone [Verse 4] She can't raise the children with no daddy She can't love a man that's always gone It takes a whole lot more than pride To keep your feelings locked inside While you sing another pretty country song [Bridge] (I've seen your face a thousand times on TV I've heard you on my local radio) [Verse 5] It's true I take some pills to stay awake son And this diamond ring I wear is just for show I've got a little cabin in the country When I'm not on the road that's where I go [Verse 6] Try and put my feelin's down on paper Right or wrong the show has to go on I can cry deep down inside and keep on smilin' While I sing another pretty country song But I've got to take a drink to keep from shakin'
