Acid Country Lyrics
by Tim Wilson
Mama made us listen to Pink Floyd and Floyd Kramer.
We had three square meals of mushrooms and cornbread.
Mama's kitchen smelled a lot like inscents and cathead biscuits.
We'd watch Porter and Dolly and throw on the Grateful Dead.
Born and raised on, Acid Country
Eatin' turnip greens and a handful of Nembutal
Yeah daddy couldn't take it he had to go
You can't play Hendrix on a banjo
Mama "walked the floor" and laid "another brick in the wall"
Our heroes were Roy Acuff and Abby Hoffman
We grew up outside of Woodstock Tennessee
Listenin' to Farron Young and a side of Inna Godda Davida
Mama made a well rounded outcast out of me
Born and raised on acid country
Eatin' cold ham hocks and a handful of Placidyl
Yeah daddy couldn't take it he had to go
Playin Alice Cooper on a dobro
Wearin' leather hip huggers and workin in the cotton mills
Bridge:
And "if you don't eat your meat you can't have any pudding"
And son your "walkin' on the Fightin' side of me"
Yeah "excuse me while I kiss the sky", "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die"
And Chet Adkins playin' the guitar on the MTV
Ohh Ooo Ohh
Born and raised on, Acid Country
Makin' "smoke on the water" sound a lot like "Uncle Pen"
And daddy couldn't take it he had to go
You can't mix Deep Purple with Bill Monroe roe roe hey!
And "sunshine of your love" while yodeling.
