Little Hank

(album: Riley Green - 2013)

I was raised in the Bible Belt, strictly by the Book
Mom and Daddy kept a real close eye on every step I took
I was told right from wrong, in the eyes of society
One day I sat Daddy down, said you know it just seems to me
All these things that we look down on
Hell to me just ain't all wrong

What's wrong with a little Hank?
What's wrong with a couple drinks?
What's wrong with going mud riding in my truck
Just as long as we don't get stuck?
What's wrong with a long night?
What's wrong with a bar fight?
What's wrong with skipping class
Even if it's just catch a bass?
What's wrong with driving fast, if I buckle up?
What's wrong with talking trash, if I knuckle up?
What's wrong with causing a little bit of raucous
If I make it to Sunday service?
It's the way I wanna live my life and my country bloodlines would think
What's wrong with a little Hank?

I said Daddy can't you remember being my age?
He said let me tell you son, seems like just yesterday
That your grandpa sat me down, and tried his best to straighten me out
He said let me tell you son I'll tell you what life is all about
Don't tell your Mama but its alright to have a little fun
I remember back in '65 and all the crazy things I done

There's nothing wrong with a little Hank
There's nothing wrong with a couple drinks
There's nothing wrong with spinning tires
There's nothing wrong with lighting bonfires
There's nothing wrong with a little smoke
There's nothing wrong with country folk
There's nothing wrong with getting stoned every know and then
As long as you know how to say when
There's nothing wrong with sitting 'round with your buddies, sipping on something in a mason jar
Theres nothing wrong with getting cuddled up with a pretty young thing as long as you don't go too far
It's the way you oughta live your life boy, and your country bloodlines will think
There's nothing wrong with a little hank

Who make the rules of right and wrong?
What if I wanna live my life like an old Bocephus song?
There nothin wrong with a little hank
There's nothing wrong with a couple drinks
There's nothing wrong with causing a little bit of raucous
If I make it to Sunday service
It's the way I wanna live my life and my country bloodlines will think
There's nothing wrong with a little Hank

There's nothing wrong with a little Hank
