Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way

Lord, it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar

Where do you take it from here?

I have rhinestone suits, I have new shiny cars

I've had it all for years

I'd like a change

Somebody told me, when I lived up in Nashville

Boy, you finally got it made

Your daddy struck it rich

But I don't believe you will if you don't start doin' it like I say

Hey, I don't think Hank had done it this way

I've been twenty years on the road, making 'em one night stand

Speeding my young life away

But just tell me one more time just so 's I understand

Are you sure Hank done it this way?

Was you standing there back in '48?

Lord, I've seen this world with a five piece band

Starin' at the backside of little Bocephus

I was singin' every one of his songs, not many of mine back then

But I don't think Hank been all that for us

No, I don't think Hank has been all that for us

Lord, it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar

Where do you take it from here?

I had to go to Alabama, but it wasn't very far

To find the sound I want to hear

And I love the change

And if I don't think Hank'd done it this way?

Waymore, your song had a whole lot to say

I wasn't around in '48

Lord, I don't think Hank had done it this way
