If anyone knows David Allen Coe, they know he can do some questionable stuff, but this song is fantastic.
"The perfect country and western song", images of a modern west:
Well I was drunk the day my momma got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in the pick-up truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.
