I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight

[Verse 1]
                                        
Well, 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.
                                  
Well I didn t cry, It was all cut and dried.
                    
I hung up before I realized.
                                 
Turned up my stereo, I walked to the window,
                                      
Stared at the storm clouds outside.


[Chorus]
                                          
And I play classical music when it rains,
                          
I play country when I am in pain.
                                            
But I won t play Beethoven, the mood s just not right
                              
 Oh, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.


[Interlude 1]
                
           


[Verse 2]
                               
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,
                                      
And that s why I m feeling so bad.


[Chorus]
                                     
Hey, I play jazz when I am confused,
                        
I play country whenever I lose.
                                  
Bird s saxophone, it just don t seem right
                               
 Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.


[Interlude 2]
                     
                     


[Verse 3]
                                         
Lately I ve been thinkin , I just might quit drinkin .
                       
 Now I don t know all-in-all.
                                   
I just might stay home, get drunk all alone,
                                     
And punch a few holes in the wall.


[Chorus]
                                        
But when I m real high I play rock n roll,
                                
I play country when I m losing control.
                                          
I don t play Chuck Berry quite as much as I d like,
                                                  
 Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.


[Coda]
                          
I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
