The Conversation - Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings

Hank let’s talk about your daddy

Tell me how your momma loved that man.

Well, just break a bottle hoss

I’ll tell ya' about the drifting cowboy band.

We wont talk about the habits.

Just the music and the man thats all.

Now Hank, you just gotta tell me Did your daddy really write all them songs, did he.

That don’t deserve no answer hoss

Let’s light up and just move along.

Do you think he wrote 'em about your momma

Or about the man who done her wrong

You know that.

Yeah, back then they called him crazy

Nowadays they call him a saint

Now the ones that call him crazy

Are still riding on his name.

Well, if he was here right now Bocephus

Would he think that we were right?

Do you think he might?

Don’t you know he would Watusy

Be right here by our side.

If we left for a show in Provo

Be the first one on the bus and ready to ride

Last one to go hoss.

Wherever he is I hope he’s happy

You know, I hope he’s doing well.

Yes, I do.

He is

'Cause he’s got one arm around my momma now

And her sure did love Miss Audrey and raising hell.

I wont ask you no more questions

To the stories only Hank could tell

And he could tell’em.

Back then they called him crazy

Now days they call him a saint.

Most folks don’t know that

They fired him from the Opry

And that 'caused his greatest pain.

I’d love to tell you about lovesick

How Miss Audrey loved that man.

You know, I’ve always loved to listen to The stories about that drifting cowboy band.

That man.

You know when we get right down to it Still the most wanted outlaw in the land…
