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.
