I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight
Composer(s): Chris Wall
Performer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker; Alice Stuart; Chris Wall



Well, I could live my whole life, without a phone call
The likes of which I got today
It was only my wife, said “hello” then “goodbye”
And told me she’s going away

Well I didn’t cry 
It was all cut and dried
I hung up before I realized
Turned up my stereo, I walked to the window
Stared at the storm clouds outside

And I play classical music when it rains
I play country when I am in pain
But I won’t play Beethoven, the mood’s just not right 
Oh, 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
And that’s why I’m feelling so bad

Hey, I play jazz when I am confused
I play country whenveer I lose
Bird’s saxaphone, it just don’t seem right
Now, I feel 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, get drunk all alone
And punch a few holes in the wall

But when I’m rel high I play rock ’n’ roll
I play country when I’m losing control
I don’t play Chuck Berry quite as much as I’d like
Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight
