"If This Is Just a Game" is a prominent country song written and recorded by outlaw country pioneer David Allan Coe. The track was released in December 1978 as part of his conceptually unique studio album, Human Emotions. Human Emotions is famously split into two thematic halves: the "Happy Side" (songs tracked before his wife left him) and the "Su-I-Side" (tracks capturing his emotional brokenness after her departure). Fueled by Coe's signature vulnerable yet raw delivery .
