Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way

(专辑： Rowdy - 1981)

Lord, it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do you take it from here?
I have rhinestone suits, I have new shiny cars
I've had it all for years
I'd like a change

Somebody told me, when I lived up in Nashville
Boy, you finally got it made
Your daddy struck it rich
But I don't believe you will if you don't start doing it like I say
Hey, I don't think Hank had done it this way

I've been twenty years on the road, making 'em one night stand
Speeding my young life away
But just tell me one more time just so 's I understand
Are you sure Hank done it this way?
Was you standing there back in '48?

Lord, I've seen this world with a five piece band
Staring at the backside of little Bocephus
I was singing every one of his songs, not many of mine back then
But I don't think Hank been all that for us
No, I don't think Hank has been all that for us

Lord, it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do you take it from here?
I had to go to Alabama, but it wasn't very far
To find the sound I want to hear
And I love the change

And if I don't think Hank'd done it this way?
Waymore, your song had a whole lot to say
I wasn't around in '48
Lord, I don't think Hank had done it this way
