I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight

Well, I could live my whole life, without a phone call

The likes of which I got today.

It was only my wife, said “hello” then “goodbye”.

And told me she's going away.

Well I didn't cry, It was all cut and dried.

I hung up before I realized.

Turned up my stereo, I walked to the window,

Stared at the storm clouds outside.

And I play classical music when it rains,

I play country when I am in pain.

But I won't play Beethoven, the mood's just not right –

Oh, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.

There's no explanation, not even a reason,

No talk of the good times we had.

Was it me, was it her, I don't know for sure,

And that's why I'm feelling so bad.

Hey, I play jazz when I am coufused,

I play country whenveer I lose.

Bird's saxaphone, it just don't seem right

Now, I feel like Hank Williams toight.

Lately I've been thinkin', I just might quit drinkin'.

Now I don't know all-in-all.

I just might stay home, get drunk all alone,

And punch a few holes in the wall.

But when I'm rel high I plyay rock'n'roll,

I play country when I'm losing control.

I don't play Chuck Berry quite as much as I'd like,

Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
