Hank's Song

(album: Green Green Grass Of Home - 1970)

I just don't like this kind of living
Hen nobody's lonesome for me
I'm heading down the long lost highway
May you never be alone like me

Your cold cold crazy cheating heart
Gave me the lovesick blues
I can't help it if you win again
You know I still want you

I'd like to turn back the years
When we heard the wedding bells chime
When I was howling at the moon
And your cheating heart was mine

A mansion on the hill is a house without love
Why don't you love me like you used to do
You're gonna change or I'm a gonna leave
But I could never be ashamed of you

I hear that lonesome whistle blowing
Never again will I knock on your door
I'm so sorry for you, my friend
But why should we try anymore

Jambalaya and ol' Kaw-Liga
Go on and set the woods on fire
From now on you'll be moaning the blues
For I'm a long gone daddy now
