The Conversation
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings & Hank Williams Jr.



Hank let's talk about your daddy
Tell me how your momma loved that man
Well just break out a bottle hoss
I'll tell you bout the driftin' cowboy band

We won't talk about the habits
Just the music and the man
(That's All)

Now Hank, you just gotta tell me
Did your daddy really write all them songs
(Did He?)
That don't deserve no answer hoss
Let's light up and just move along
Do you think he wrote 'em about your momma
Or about the man who done her wrong
(You know that)

Yeah back then they called him crazy
Now a days they call him a saint
Now the ones that called him crazy
Lord, are still riding on his name

Well if he was here right now Bocefus
Would he think that we were right
(Do you think he might?)
Don't you know he would Waltalja
Be right here by our sides
If we left for a show in Grover
He'd be the first one on the bus and ready to ride
(That's wantin' to go hoss)

Wherever he is I hope he's happy
You know I hope he's doing well
(Yes I do)
He is cuz he's got one arm around my momma now
And he sure did love Miss Audrey and raising hell
I won't ask you no more questions
Cuz there stories only Hank can tell

Well back then they called him crazy
Now a days they call him a saint
Most folks don't know that they fired him from the opry
And that caused his greatest pain

Let me tell you about lovesick
How Miss Audrey loved that man
You know I've always loved to listen
So the stories about that driftin' cowboy band (and the man)
Know when we get right down to it
Still the most wanted outlaw in the land
