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 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.
