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

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 shes going away.

Well I didnt 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 wont play Beethoven, the moods just not right
Oh, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.

Theres no explanation, not even a reason,
No talk of the good times we had.
Was it me, was it her, I dont know for sure,
And thats why Im feelling so bad.

Chorus:
Hey, I play jazz when I am coufused,
I play country whenveer I lose.
Birds saxaphone, it just dont seem right
Now, I feel like Hank Williams toight.

Lately Ive been thinkin, I just might quit drinkin.
Now I dont know all-in-all.
I just might stay home, get drunk all alone,
And punch a few holes in the wall.

Chorus:
But when Im rel high I plyay rocknroll,
I play country when Im losing control.
I dont play Chuck Berry quite as much as Id like,
Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
