To move your song (or bourbon) to the front of the list, please bribe us by sending a bottle of bourbon, preferably one we haven't had on the channel yet, to: BCR 484 E. Carmel Dr. Suite 155 Carmel, IN 46032
@ Bourbon country reacts he has made songs with blatantly racist lyrics. Including a song titled N***** Lover. And he used the n word in another one of his songs as well. It's very cringe worthy. 😬 some of his songs like the one in this video are good but don't be fooled.
My favorite part is that he changed his singing voice to imitate Merle, Charlie etc. This is just a classic! Even this 63year old silver haired lady can’t resist singing that last verse.. Loudly.
Oh my gosh! I have never heard of anyone over 14 that had not heard this song before. I wonder if they have heard of Grandma got run over by a reindeer?
"...she got runned over by a damned ole train." Used to drink and play cards with a group of friends and we often played this song, singing loudly and loving life. Good times.
I remember my parents and friends playing the farming game. I didn't understand why they played a game about what they did in real life until I was much older, lol. My first taste of whiskey(that I remember) was while they played that game. None of the kids were supposed to bother the adults, but my tooth hurt. My Dad's solution was whiskey. Damned if it didn't work, but I still have a taste for it
For a more serious David Allen Coe I'd suggest "The Ride" Many of his songs did not get radio play because of controversy with his lyrics and with some of his statements. Also let me suggest another song similar to your discussion at the start of this song. Alan Jackson's "I don't even know your name" A fun reaction.
They should for sure listen to DAC's "Would You Lay With Me?" , this one, live. I mean , the man has some controversial views , but he *is* a lyrical genius. ruclips.net/video/gPrzgQwpOVg/видео.html
This is a classic! When this plays everyone starts singing. There's also special "extra" words inserted but I can't say them here. :-). Love the reaction.
Actually David Allan Coe was not and never has been Outlaw Country..You need to know what Outlaw Country is, or understand the movement..Even Waylon stopped DAC from claiming he was Outlaw..
this is a staple in almost every dance hall, biker bar, country club or bar & the everyone know the chorus & stand up & joins in the singing!!!! Love me some David Allen!!! I still listen to him at 74!!!!
DAC came in the 7-Eleven where I was working graveyard shift. He looked so old and tired, and I was so busy thinking “Is that really him? In my store?” That I couldn’t even talk to him. He has written some of the most beautiful, and also some of the raunchiest, I’ve ever heard.
David Allan Coe did record the now infamous “Tennessee Whiskey” first and is considered the OG Outlaw. Yeah, he’s definitely used some ballsy lyrics in his songs. This song is a classic!
The XXX album is where most of all his controversial songs are. It was only available by mail order from a biker magazine if I’m not mistaken. We used to listen to it back in the early 90s when I was in high school. It’s wild to say the least.
It's not as well known because he requested not to be on the credits, but this was actually co written by John Prine. John Prine (recently lost to Covid) was an american song writing legend. That third verse is some CLASSIC John Prine lyrics. Hes written more serious stuff too but he NEVER loses that cheeky, humorous touch here and there.
Steve Goodman wrote it with John Pryne . Crazy enough Steve Goodman also wrote and performed a song about Chicago cubs before his death and a verse is sung at Wrigley field after every home win. He also wrote City of New Orleans (Willy Nelson) and Banana Republics ( made famous by his friend Jimmy Buffett who he met in Chicago ) .
I'm a little older than the both of you. I grew up w Country Music coming out the stereo in the barn while we milked cows & did chores. When I was older, we used to punch this up on the juke box, told you I'm older, and sing along with All the "echos"!! Those were some great times...
I listened to this song in college and the entire bar would sing….thanks for the memory…this is such an awesome song….and I loved when you got to the last verse
I am 37 and I am a huge metal and rock fan and I knew David Allan Coe when I was like 5 years old. I am glad y'all enjoy it it. I have to idea how this song slipped past you guys all these years.
Went with some friends one night to see him at some little bar in Jax Beach. He has the ac turned off because he says it affects his voice. The place was packed and we were SWEATING, lol, but we all about lifted the roof singing along to this one. Great bar song.
Great,great reaction! It is hilarious, the only thing better is when you're in a honkytonk and they play it on the jukebox and everyone starts singing it. It is an echo song and if you don't know what that means, then ask someone who listens to country on a regular basis. Thanks!☺☺☺
I read somewhere that this song was kind of a tribute to his early days when he was playing gigs and covering songs by Waylon, Merle, and Charlie. If you listen closely to the first verse, you can hear how he changes up his voice to imitate each of them.
Haven't heard this in years...he is actually from Akron Ohio...when I was in my late teens back in the 70s we use to sing this in the bar I frequented...a few others too like Mickey Gilley's The girls all get prettier at closing time, Waylon Jennings ..Ive always been crazy and his song Good Hearted Woman. ..there are other songs like that ..a lot of funny and good music from all genres back in the day...most of these guys have passed away or are in their 80s now
Great video, of a country classic. Steve Goodman wrote this song, along with John Prine, they were buddies. John told Steve to take the writing credits, cause he didn't think he wrote much of it. DA Coe had a big hit of it. Steve Goodman bought John a jukebox for his help. Truly a great moment in country song writing. Lol
This is a classic no doubt. My dad got me hooked on it when I was younger. I still listen to it now even though he's passed away. It's a great party song cause everyone sings that last verse lol! And I'm sure everyone knows it well enough to karaoke to it. I could I know that. You like that one check out Alan Jackson's I don't even know your name it's a funny song too.
What you probably heard about is a DAC album called XXX. There are a lot of "questionable" lyrics on that and are not for people who are easily offended.
Saturday night. 1 light country town. Nothing to do so we would all meet down a dirt road around a bon fire to jam out in the middle of a field. Homemade wine being passed around and David Allen Coe blaring on either an 8 track or cassette. And yes. He has some very explicit lyrics to some of his songs. But that was half the fun. Making me homesick for my best friend now but damn, those were some good times.
I hear that... definitely takes me back to the dirt roads and bon fires. Or a bar full of people singing this song at the top of their drunken lungs lol .. I can hear it in my head. Great song.
my old friend!!! My ex wrote a few songs for him!!! David \'s song is played in almost every bar & honky-tonk out there in Texas!!! We always shout it out - the song is then followed by Hank Jr's Family Tradition - bar version!!!! Love DAC
If you never heard this song you've obviously never been to a country party, wedding or bar. this was the standard song for every damn party I have been too
Written by the great Steve Goodman, and an uncredited John Prine (LEGEND). D.A.C also pulls off impeccable impersonations of all the great country singers he mentions. His Merle Haggard is bang-on, imo.
Wow! I can't believe you've never heard of him! I'm from Alabama, and from going out to bars and being a bartender for years, this song is karaoked EVERYWHERE!!!
I saw him at bike week in Daytona. The song is about music listeners not knowing who David Allan Coe was. When his songs would come on, people thought he was Waylon, Merle or some other mainstream artist.
One of my favorite songs. My favorite time hearing this was before a Chris Ledoux concert at Billy Bob's Texas and you had 10,000 people singing along with the recorded version of this song.
This is the kind of country my Dad played. This is definitely a classic. He had to be selective about when to do the last verse according to where they were playing.
Every single time I have been drinking in a bar and this song comes on, everyone sings it, loudly and drunkly (is that even a word?) Best drinking song ever.
@@BourbonCountryReacts if your schedules line up, try to make it up to Starkville for some Mississippi State Baseball! Defending national champs, and they have the best ballpark in college baseball. It rivals some Triple A parks…20 of the top 25 on-campus attendance records in NCAA history! Not to mention, coached by former Indiana University coach Chris Lemonis. Either way, hope y’all enjoy your trip to the magnolia state!
There was two other endings that songwriter, Steve Goodman, added to the song: 1. This first one he included dead dogs, farms, and Christmas (along with getting drunk, mother, prison, trucks and trains) and it goes like this: Ever since the dog got drunk and died and Mama went to prison Why nothing ‘round this farm has been the same And John, you know when Mom broke out last Christmas She drove that whole get away laundry truck right into a train 2. This one, Goodman only included: Mother, prison, farms, trucks, and trains. And it goes like this: Ever since the day my mama went to prison Ain’t nothing ‘round this farm has been the same And you know that when they let her out last Tuesday She drove her goddamn truck into a train
They played this at parties when I went to college in Kentucky. And we would always add after “I’ll hang around as long as you will let me,” LET ME LET ME LET ME LET ME. A hoot!
Oh my goodness had to rewind y’all laughing a few times love it ….. Lordy y’all guys take me back to my childhood sitting on my great granddaddies porch singing these songs
So, I've enjoyed so many of David Allan Coe songs over the years. He has lots of really good mainstream songs. Having said that, I stumbled accross some of his really nasty stuff last year. And I mean really nasty! Hey, I'm 72 years old, a Vietnam Vet, and I'm a retired police officer. Some of his stuff goes beyond the pale. But, I still laugh at this
This was the official song of my senior class of 1980 ,we sang it at every pep rally and every time we even thought about it.It’s still funny even now 42 years ago.😂😂😂😎😎🤪
DAC was such a wild uncontrollable dude. He actually became very good friends with Dimebag and Vinnie. They did a great album together called Rebel meets Rebel. I remember DAC telling a story about how his dad was a drunk and his mom showed up at the bar and told him to get his ass home and grabbed his drink and before taking a swig said "jack daniels if you please, knock me to my mf'n knees", and that's the name of one of his songs, haha
I can remember hearing this while sitting somewhere in a bar in 1975 and when the verse that made this a "perfect country and western song" came on, everyone would loudly sing with it and everyone would YELL, "She got runned over by a damned old train!" I don't know who Steve Goodman is but he sure has received a lot of publicity through this song. BTW, Coe was also the person who first recorded Tennessee Whiskey. He recorded it in 1981 and George Jones recorded it in 1983. The version by Jones made it nearly to the top of the charts but it took Chris Stapleton to blow it right into the stratosphere. I loved your reaction to She Never Even Called me by my Name. I watched one reaction to this where the guy totally didn't get it. He maintained a solemn face throughout that entire nonsensical verse and then his reaction was "what happened here? Did his mother get killed??? That's really sad. Why the up-tempo music?" That comment made me want to bang my head against a wall. Good grief. He had no concept of how ludicrous the verse is when Goodman just crammed all the elements of a country song into one verse which made him come out with something as stupid as "I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison." Thank heavens, you are among those who reacted to it and actually got it!
How can you call yourself "Country" and have never listened to David Allen Coe??? Hell, even when my kids were little they knew the words to this song, thanks to my hubby and I! Great reaction guys. I was laughing my ass off watching you two laugh your asses off!!! You really should listen to more DAC!! He is the ultimate Outlaw Country dude!! "Instant playlist", I love it!!
I ABSOLUTELY loved your reaction! Haha. Btw there is a popular chain steak restaurant in Illinois where years ago, all the waitress staff would just stop serving and all would dance to this one song only in the isles. So fun!!
I didn’t read all the comments, but where the other “names” were, that was the actual artists singing them…Waylon Jennings, Charlie Pride, and Merle Haggard
I was so waiting for y'all to get to the end last verse and your reaction didn't let me down. LOL There's a song by Tracy Byrd called "the truth about men". I'd love to see your reaction 💜
I have seen him live twice. Awesome both times. Best part was they were both in a bar setting, not a big stadium show, you would have thought he was playing for tens of thousands of people though.
This song is an absolute classic. Thanks for reacting to it. The term racist is dramatically overused today but it absolutely applies to a lot of David Allen Coe's music and comments. That is why this is the only one of his song most people have ever heard
We always just called it The Train Song. That is much easier to say (and to remember) when you have consumed a large amount of bourbon. All the local bands knew it and the entire bar would sing along as loudly as possible! A great time was had by all.
Idk if you'll ever see this but this is a southern bar song with the crowd doing ad libs. It's known by every southern man and woman and it's the most fun to sing with all your barmates. After every "let me" the crowd yells "let me, let me let me " and After that the whole song is sung by everyone. If I get the chance I'll tape it and send it to you.
To move your song (or bourbon) to the front of the list, please bribe us by sending a bottle of bourbon, preferably one we haven't had on the channel yet, to:

Back in the day when I was a bartender, this song was played almost every night. Everyone would join in and sing along! Definitely a great song!
Yep. Had to be drunk to enjoy it. LOL
@@robinmcpherson7981 im 28 and Ive been enjoying this song drunk and sober since i first heard it in 2011.
I was one of those sing-alongs at the club called Kalija in Tyler Texas back in the 80's! Great fun was had!
Oh my gosh! I have never heard of anyone over 14 that had not heard this song before. I wonder if they have heard of Grandma got run over by a reindeer?

DAC did not write Tennesee Whiskey, it was written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove. He did record it first however.
He did write "Take This Job and Shove It," "Would You Lay With Me," and "Willie, Waylon, and Me." He is a great song writer ❤
He was not an outlaw. Waylon even ripped on DAC a little for claiming that.

Good songs on it but you couldn't do a video on them .but you should give them a listen
THIS…..THIS. Is the best drinking and sing along song and that’s what we did back in the 70s!!!

So much fun singing this song! Love classic country!
There was two other endings that songwriter, Steve Goodman, added to the song:
1. This first one he included dead dogs, farms, and Christmas (along with getting drunk, mother, prison, trucks and trains) and it goes like this:
Ever since the dog got drunk and died and Mama went to prison
Why nothing ‘round this farm has been the same
And John, you know when Mom broke out last Christmas
She drove that whole get away laundry truck right into a train
2. This one, Goodman only included: Mother, prison, farms, trucks, and trains. And it goes like this:
Ever since the day my mama went to prison
Ain’t nothing ‘round this farm has been the same
And you know that when they let her out last Tuesday
She drove her goddamn truck into a train
It's awesome you got to finally get to David Allen Coe. You want another one of his check out The Ride.

"Wood and Steel" by him is great.
They played this at parties when I went to college in Kentucky. And we would always add after “I’ll hang around as long as you will let me,” LET ME LET ME LET ME LET ME. A hoot!

He maintained a solemn face throughout that entire nonsensical verse and then his reaction was "what happened here? Did his mother get killed??? That's really sad. Why the up-tempo music?" That comment made me want to bang my head against a wall. Good grief. He had no concept of how ludicrous the verse is when Goodman just crammed all the elements of a country song into one verse which made him come out with something as stupid as "I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison." Thank heavens, you are among those who reacted to it and actually got it!
We try. We really do. - Keith
DAC RIDES AGAIN is one of my favorite albums.
There are a few of your reactions that I watch over and over again. This is, by far, my favorite. Thank you!
Thanks!
David Allen Coe is the Ozzy of country music 😂
Classic... glad yall found it
How can you call yourself "Country" and have never listened to David Allen Coe??? Hell, even when my kids were little they knew the words to this song, thanks to my hubby and I! Great reaction guys. I was laughing my ass off watching you two laugh your asses off!!! You really should listen to more DAC!! He is the ultimate Outlaw Country dude!! "Instant playlist", I love it!!
I think you guys would enjoy If That Ain't Country by David Allen Coe. It is a classic country song.
Love it
I ABSOLUTELY loved your reaction! Haha. Btw there is a popular chain steak restaurant in Illinois where years ago, all the waitress staff would just stop serving and all would dance to this one song only in the isles. So fun!!
You should go to a country bar and see the echo reaction the crowd does. They really get into it
He was saying he was always compared to all those other singers but he was willing to hang around and sing anyway.
Reasonable interpretation. - Keith
I didn’t read all the comments, but where the other “names” were, that was the actual artists singing them…Waylon Jennings, Charlie Pride, and Merle Haggard
Used to sing this every weekend at a place called skippys !!! Before my hubby passed away 😢 we went out every weekend
Such a great tribute song. Last verse is so funny!
I was so waiting for y'all to get to the end last verse and your reaction didn't let me down. LOL
There's a song by Tracy Byrd called "the truth about men". I'd love to see your reaction 💜
Added a vote for that one -Dustin
Love it!❤️ Grew up on this shit!🤣
I have seen him live twice. Awesome both times. Best part was they were both in a bar setting, not a big stadium show, you would have thought he was playing for tens of thousands of people though.
One of my favorites from my playlist.
Have seen many reactions to this song, but you guys have had the BEST one! Thanks for the laughs!
This song is an absolute classic. Thanks for reacting to it. The term racist is dramatically overused today but it absolutely applies to a lot of David Allen Coe's music and comments. That is why this is the only one of his song most people have ever heard
We always just called it The Train Song. That is much easier to say (and to remember) when you have consumed a large amount of bourbon. All the local bands knew it and the entire bar would sing along as loudly as possible! A great time was had by all.
Where I live- this was always the final song as the bar closed! Drunk people singing at the top of their lungs- fun times!
David Allen Coe also recorded "Tennessee Whiskey".
Idk if you'll ever see this but this is a southern bar song with the crowd doing ad libs. It's known by every southern man and woman and it's the most fun to sing with all your barmates. After every "let me" the crowd yells "let me, let me let me
" and After that the whole song is sung by everyone. If I get the chance I'll tape it and send it to you.
Tanya Tucker's version of "Would You Lay with Me in a Field of Stone," penned by David Allen Coe.
They use to play this at the bar all the time.
This has been my go to song at karaoke for the last 15 years 😂
Apparently, it's the go-to for a few of you. - Keith
