i feel like hank williams tonight

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 goin' away

i didn't cry

it was all cut and dry

i hung up before i realized

i turned up my stereo

i walked to the window

and stared at the storm clouds outside

i play classical music when it rains

i play country when i am in pain

i won't play beethoven

'cause the mood's just not right

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

that's why i'm feeling so bad

hey

i play jazz when i am confused

i play country whenever i lose

bird's saxophone

just don't seem right

i fell like hank williams tonight

lately i've been thinkin'

i just might quit drinkin'

now i don't know all in all

i just might stay home

and get drunk all alone

and punch a few holes in the wall

'cause when i'm real high i play rock and roll

i play country when i'm losin' control

i don't play chuck berry

quite as much as i'd like

i feel like hank williams tonight
