I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight - Jerry Jeff Walker

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 goin' away

I didn’t cry

It was all cut and dry

I hung up before I realized

I turned up my stereo

I walked to the window

And stared at the storm clouds outside

I play classical music when it rains

I play country when I am in pain

I won’t play Beethoven, 'cause the mood’s just not right

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

That’s why I’m feeling so bad

Hey, I play jazz when I am confused

I play country whenever I lose

Bird’s saxophone

Just don’t seem right

I fell like Hank Williams tonight

Lately I’ve been thinkin'

I just might quit drinkin'

Now I don’t know all in all

I just might stay home

And get drunk all alone

And punch a few holes in the wall

'Cause when I’m real high I play rock and roll

I play country when I’m losin' control

I don’t play Chuck Berry

Quite as much as I’d like

I feel like Hank Williams tonight

I feel like Hank Williams tonight
