David Allan Coe did not write the song he himself admits this...."A good friend of mine name Steve Goodman wrote this song..." der...listen to it sometime!!

Seriously? Number 6? For the *perfect* country and western song. Tsk, tsk, tsk to the list makers who lack both a sense of humor and apparently, a sense of history.

This should be number one. It is the perfect country/western song.

Not only should it be #1, but "If That Ain't Country" by DAC makes my list too.

It's not "mom" in this song, it's "I was drunk the day my MAMA got out of prison." Every good Southern boy calls his mother "Mama."

No, no, no. David Allan Coe sang the song, and would like to pretend that he wrote it, BUT HE DID NOT WRITE IT!!!! It was written by Steve Goodman and John Prine.

DAC did NOT pretend he wrote the song, he even give Steve Goodman credit for writing the song IN the song.

I still miss the Lone Star..It was so much fun always. Even Mike Culvert as the chickenman was a class act.
