I could live my whole life
Am Em
With out a phone call

The likes of which I got today

It was only my wife

Said hello then goodbye

And told me she's goin' away.

It was all cut and dry

I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
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
That's why I'm feeling so bad
Hey I play jazz when I am confused
I play country whenever I lose
Bird's saxophone
Just don't seem right
I fell like Hank Williams tonight
Lately I've been thinkin'
I just might quit drinkin'
Now I don't know all in all
I just might stay home
And get drunk all alone
And punch a few holes in the wall
'Cause when I'm real high I play rock and roll
I play country when I'm losin' control
I don't play Chuck Berry
Quite as much as I'd like
I feel like Hank Williams tonight
I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
