Hank Williams Jr. Conversation Lyrics

Conversation Lyrics

Hank, let's talk about your daddy

Tell me how your mama loved that man

Well, just break out a bottle, hoss

I'll tell you bout the driftin' cowboy band



We won't talk about the habits

Just the music and the man, that's all



Now Hank, you just got to tell me

Did your daddy really write all them songs? Did he?

That don't deserve no answer, hoss

Let's light up and just move along



Do you think he wrote 'em about your mama

Or about the man who done her wrong, you know that



Yeah, back then they called him crazy

Nowadays they call him a saint

Now the ones that called him crazy

Are still ridin' on his name



Well, if he was here right now, Bocephus

Would he think that we were right? Do you think he might?

Don't you know he would Watasha

Be right here by our side



If we left for a show in Provo

He'd be the first one on the bus and ready to ride, [Incomprehensible]



Wherever he is I hope he's happy

You know I hope he's doin' well, yes I do

He is 'cause he's got one arm around my mama now

And he sure did love Miss Audrey and raisin' hell



I won't ask you no more questions

To the stories only Hank could tell

[Incomprehensible]



Back then they called him crazy

Nowadays they call him a saint

Most folks don't know that they fired him from the Opry

And that caused his greatest pain



I loved to tell you about lovesick

How Miss Audrey loved that man

You know I've always loved to listen

To the stories about that driftin' cowboy band and the man



You know when we get right down to it

Still the most wanted outlaw in the land, yeah, woh
