David Allan Coe (born September 6, 1939) is an American singer and songwriter. He began his musical career after spending time in reform schools and prisons, initially gaining attention by busking in Nashville. Coe started with a blues-oriented style before transitioning to country music, becoming a prominent figure in the 1970s outlaw country movement. His notable songs include "You Never Even Called Me by My Name," "Longhaired Redneck," "The Ride," "Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile," and "She Used to Love Me a Lot." Several of Coe’s compositions became hits for other artists, including Tanya Tucker’s number-one single "Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone)" and Johnny Paycheck’s "Take This Job and Shove It," which inspired a film of the same name. Coe’s rebellious persona and unconventional lifestyle contributed to both his popularity among fans and a more limited mainstream success. He remains active as a performer on the country music circuit.
