I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight. Lyrics - Singles - Jerry Jeff Walker

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. 

Chorus: 

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. 

Chorus: 

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. 

Chorus: 

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.
