Hank let's talk about your daddy

Tell me how your mama loved that man

Well just break out a bottle hoss

I'll tell you bout the drifting cowboy band

We won't talk about the habits

Just the music and the man

Now Hank if you just got to tell me

Did your daddy really write all them songs

That don't deserve no answer hoss

Let's light up and just move along

Do you think he wrote em about your mama

Or about the man who done her wrong

Well back then they called him crazy

Now a days they call him a saint

Now the ones that called him Lord crazy

Still riding on his name

Well if he was here right now Bocephus

Would he think that we were right

Don't you think he might

Don't you know he would

Walk tall sir be right by our side

If we left for a show in Provo

He'd be the first one on

The bus and ready to ride

Wherever he is I hope he's happy

And I hope he's doing well yes I do

He is cause he's got one arm around my mama

How he sure did love Miss Audrey

And raising hell

Guess I've asked you too many questions

To the stories only Hank could 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 him the greatest pain

I loved to tell you about lovesick

And how Miss Audrey loved that man

You know I've always loved to listen

To the stories about the drifting cowboy band

You know when we get right down ti it

Still the most wanted outlaws in the land
