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 going away
                                                        
I didn t cry, it was all cut and dried, I hung up before I realized
                                      
I turned up the 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.
                                                          
Now 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
                                                   
I play jazz when I am confused. I play country whenever I lose.
                                           
But Byrd s saxophone just won t sound right.
                                             
I feel like Hank Williams tonight.

                                         
Lately I ve been thinking I just might quit drinking,
                            
but now I don t know all and all.
                                       
I just might stay home and get drunk all alone,
                           
and punch a few holes in the wall
                                                             
When I m real high I play rock&roll, I play country when I m losing control
                                                 
I don t play Chuck Berry quite as much as I like
                                                
But I sure feel like Hank Williams tonight
                                             
I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
