I could live my whole life

With out 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, cuz 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



I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
