I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight

Chris Wall

[Verse 1]
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 goin' away
Well, I didn't cry
It was all cut and dry
I hung up before I realized
I turned up my stereo
I walked to the window
And stared at the storm clouds outside

[Chorus]
And I play classical music when it rains
I play country when I am in pain
But I won't play Beethoven 'cause the mood's just not right
Oh, I feel like Hank Williams tonight

[Verse 2]
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 feeling so bad

[Chorus]
Hey, I play jazz when I am confused
I play country whenever I lose
Bird's saxophone, it just don't seem right
And I feel like Hank Williams tonight

[Verse 3]
Well, 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
Punch a few holes in the wall

[Chorus]
'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
But I feel like Hank Williams tonight
I feel like Hank Williams tonight
