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 |
|
Now Hank if you just got to tell me did your daddy really write all them songs |
|
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 |
|
Well back then they called him crazy now a days 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 walk tall sir be right by our side |
|
If we left for a show in Provo he'd be the first one on the bus and ready to ride |
|
Wherever he is I hope he's happy and I hope he's doin' well yes I do |
|
He is cause he's got one arm around my mama now |
|
How he sure did love Miss Audrey and raisin' hell |
|
I wont ask you no more questions to the stories only Hank could tell |
|
Well back then they called him crazy now a days they call him a saint |
|
Most folks don't know that they fired him from the Opry |
|
And that caused him the greatest pain |
|
I loved to tell you about lovesick and how Miss Audrey loved that man |
|
You know I've always loved to listen |
|
To the stories about the driftin' cowboy band |
|
You know when we get right down to it still the most wanted outlaws in the land |
