Pretty much anything from when Jello Biafra went country

"Are you drinkin' with me Jesus?"

"Where are we gonna work when the trees are gone?"

"Will the foetus be aborted?"

You must have been the one who inspired the song "There's a turd Floating in the Toilet Bowl".

How about Mary Chapin Carpenter? I have a feeling you could like her.

There is a decent grindcore band from here that has a shirt that has that famous picture of Johnny Cash giving the camera the finger on the front...

On the back is says:

"If it ain't Johnny Cash, then it ain't country."

I can't believe no one mentioned "Family Tradition"

They wanna know, Hank, why do you drink?
Hank, why do you blow smoke?
Why must you live by the songs that you wrote?

Uh Slappy, you got a little confused on the lyrics there. The second line should be "Why do you roll smoke?" not "why to you blow smoke". The meaning is rolling joints referring to his rampant drug and alcohol problems.

The next line is "why must you live out the songs that you wrote?"

For what it is worth.

"Sam Stone" and "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore" by John Prine.

That song by Patsy Cline about walking after midnight, out in the moonlight, searching for you.

Johnny Cash's "Cocaine Blues", obviously.
