Acid Country Lyrics by Tim Wilson

0

[1st Verse]
Mama made us listen to Pink Floyd and Floyd Cramer
We had three square meals of mushrooms and cornbread
Mama's kitchen smelled a lot like incense and cathead biscuits
We'd watch Porter and Dolly and then throw on The Grateful Dead
[Chorus]
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
[Second Verse]
Our heroes were Roy Acuff and Abbie Hoffman
We grew up outside of Woodstock, Tennessee
Listenin' to Faron Young and a side of In-a-Gadda-da-Vida
Mama made a well-rounded outcast outta me
[Chorus]
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, workin' in the cotton mill
[Bridge]
And if you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding
Son, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
I shot a man in Reno just to watch 'im die
And Chet Atkins playin' the guitar on the MTV
[Chorus]
Born and raised on Acid Country
Makin' Smoke on the Water sound a lot like Uncle Pen (that's a bluegrass song)
Yeah, Daddy couldn't take it, he had to go
You can't mix Deep Purple and Bill Monroe (roe, roe, roe)
And Sunshine of Your Love while yodelin'
Whoo-hoo, yodelayeehee, yayeehee, yayee
