Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Just Enough To Get In Trouble

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Just Enough To Get In Trouble

I've been down my share of
Country roads, boulevards, and interstates
I kinda know my way around
A little bout a lot of things
I know what the cards say
Sometimes the hard way
It looks so easy

My curiosity always gets me in a ditch
What really happens if
You turn that knob
Or flip that switch
Something I shouldn't do
Why you already knew
Thats all been taught to me

[Chorus]
I know just enough to get in trouble
And thats just enough to understand
That the more I know
The more I'm sure
Someday it's gonna do me in
Yeah when my time comes
And I'm dead and gone
Let em put it on my tombstone
He knew just enough to get in trouble
But not enough to leave it alone

They got a book somewhere
On everything a woman wants
Bout how and when and where
And why they will
And why they won't
Thats complicated stuff
And when it comes to love
I'm still learning

[Chorus]

Waylon always told me
Son everybody makes mistakes
And how come it's always me
Standing there when something breaks

Yeah I know just enough to get in trouble
And thats just enough to understand
That the more I know
The more I'm sure
Someday it's gonna do me in
Yeah when my time comes
And I'm dead and gone
Let em write it on my tombstone
Here lies just enough to get in trouble
But not enough to leave it alone
He knew just enough to get in trouble
But not quite enough to leave it alone

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - I Really Like Girls

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - I Really Like Girls

Well, well
I really, really, really, really, really, really like girls
Yeah, I really, really, really, really, really, really like girls
I like girls (3x)
I like the way that they giggle,
When they walk up and ask you to dance
I like the way that they wiggle,
Wrapped up in the skin tight pants
They got style
They got smiles
They drive me wild!
Yeah, I really, really, really, really, really, really like girls
Yes, I really, really, really, really, really, really like girls!
I like them small
I like 'em tall
I like 'em all!
Now it don't bother me,
If a girl don't know how to cope
Because the things that they know,
How to do can't be learned in a book!
They got smarts
They got hearts
They got my heart!
That's why I really, really, really, really, really, really like girls
Yeah, I really, really, really, really, really, really like girls!
I want 'em small
I want 'em tall
I want 'em all!
Every day in every way they're here to stay
They're really really neat
They're really sweet
They're real petite
I like girls!

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - I Saw The Light

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - I Saw The Light

I wandered so aimless life filed with sin
I wouldn't let my dear savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the lord I saw the light.

[Chorus]
I saw the light I saw the light
no more darkness no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the lord I saw the light.

Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the lord I saw the light.

[Chorus]

I was a fool to wander and astray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the lord I saw the light.

[Chorus]

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Family Tradition

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Family Tradition

Country music singers, have always been a real close family,
But lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me.
I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction.
Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition.

They get on me and want to know Hank why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Over and over everybody makes my predictions.
So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old family tradition.

I am very proud of my daddy's name
All though his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same.
Stop and think it over. Put yourself in my position.
If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition.

So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk some ole slick's trying to give me friction.
I said leave me alone I'm singing all night long it's a family tradition.

Lord I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill me in 1973.
When that doctor asked me, "son how did you get in this condition?"
I said, "hey sawbones, I'm just carrying on an ole family tradition."

So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink?
Hank, why do roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Stop and think it over, try and put yourself in my unique position.
If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family tradition!

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - I Can Take Anything

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - I Can Take Anything

I can take anything cause I'm different from the rest
Your lying lips don't bother me they still bring me happiness
And I don't see all the things other people say you do
I can take anything but losing you
I can take anything cause I'm living for that day
You get tired of running round and come back in my arms to stay
I don't care how long you treat me like you do I can take anything but losing
you
I can take anything cause my heart's learned to live
Oh what you used to be and the love you used to give
How do I take it now knowing I'm just a fool I can take anything but losing
you

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Everything Comes Down To Money And Love

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Everything Comes Down To Money And Love

Sitting at the kitchen table Monday afternoon
House is so quiet
I spent the morning looking for a job
But the job markets pretty tight

And I'm wondering
Just what I'm gonna do
Someone to hold and the rent
I owe are long overdue

Seems like everything comes down
To money and love in my life
It seems like everything comes down
To money and love in my life

I'm used to having a woman around
Cooking for me and when I lay down to love
I got used to having a woman around
Looking to me to rise above

I've got a lonely heart, two open arms
And a pillow I never use
I know it ain't much to offer
But it's the best I can do

Seems like everything comes down
To money and love in my life

I've loved a lot of good women
And I could sure love one now
I've had more than enough money
In my bank account

But where they went and how they got spent
Isn't really clear
They just left me here
And it all disappeared

Sitting in another office Tuesday morning
Application filled
I doubt they'll ever call me
But I can't keep from hoping that they will

I know I need to keep my chin up
But I'm telling you the truth
If there's no one else to live for
Is there anything left to lose?

It seems like everything comes down
To money and love in my life
Seems like everything comes down
To money and love in my life, in my life

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Eyes Of Waylon

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Eyes Of Waylon

When it comes to real rounders, there's only one
That was better than I was at havin' some fun
Now it's true he shows grey in his beard
Does that mean he's history, or is he a pillar and a peer
This music called country, somethin' we all make
No, it didn't just happen cause of the latest rage
Soon he was the biggest thing to come along in Nashville in those days
He sang his song called "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way"
I don't know if he did or not but I sure know what I saw
The 1st triple platinum in that town was hanging on his wall
Radio will play him until the end of time
Because he's a real legend not the phony kind

And I looked in the eyes of Waylon
And there I saw things that I'd never seen before
I saw a father and a brother and a friend
I saw the nights we spent while out on the road
It's not the money, it's not the fame, it's not the ladies
And the eyes of Waylon just told me so
Yes, I looked in the eyes of Waylon
There I learned things that I better know
And if I doubted there is a hillbilly heaven
The eyes of Waylon just told me so

And if I doubted there is a hillbilly heaven
The eyes of old Waylon just told me so

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - I'd Rather Be Gone

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - I'd Rather Be Gone

I feel like a stranger in this home I built for you.
And I can't understand this awful change you're goin' through.
And lately I've been watchin' you grow colder everyday.
And I'd rather be gone than in your way.

I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather see someone else here in my place.
And if I decide on leavin' my world will end today.
But I'd rather be gone than in your way.

I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather see someone else here in my place.
And if I decide on leavin' my world will end today.
But I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way.

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Getting Over You

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Getting Over You

I sold my car to buy more wine
I hocked my watch, I've lost track of time
Days with you went by so fast now I'm trying to relive the past
You don't know what I've been through getting over you

I've tried to love other women but I can't
You've really made a mess out of what used to be a man
I thought I drowned the fire in others but you're still my only lover
You don't know what I've been through getting over you

Bridge:
I got some pills from a ol' doctor friend
The bottle said one every 12 hours for pain
But this pain I feel aint small that's why I took them one and all
It was something I had to do to get over you

No, the pain I feel ain't small
Lord I took them one and all
It was something I had to do to get over you

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Blues My Name

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Blues My Name

Well you walked in here and took that stool right next to me
And you just got through your sad life's history
I'd like a few words before you start again friend

Blues my name, heartbreak is my next of kin

I'm living in a world of misery
Life ain't been peaches and cream for me
And I ain't smiled since I don't know when friend

Blues my name, heartbreak is my next of kin

Yes I know what it's like to love and loose
I've stood and watched my golden dreams turn to blue
I've lost my love to someone I called my best friend

Blues my name, heartbreak is my next of kin
Blues my name, heartbreak is my next of kin

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Always Loving You

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Always Loving You

The evening is lonesome babe,
And the dead of night is cruel.
And I recall all the things we done.
Ya know I'm always loving you.

Sometimes I think that my trains done gone.
The way all old things must do.
Yet I still wait for it's return,
Just like I still wait for you.

And I still hear that old whipperwill.
I've seen the ghost of the midnight train.
And I still love to walk alone,
Down by the old union station in the rain.

Now I don't know where you are tonight,
But I feel you across the miles.
Am I still standing there inside your mind,
Just behind a pretty smile.

Hey babe, can ya hear that old whipperwill?
Have ya seen the ghost on the midnight train?
Do you still love to go alone,
Down by the old union station in the rain?
Down by the old Montgomery station in the rain.

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Between Heaven And Hell

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Between Heaven And Hell

Well I've seen the devil
And I've seen the light
And I know the difference
Between wrong and right
But there still are times
When it's so hard to tell
If I'm going the wrong way
To heaven or hell

Cause I've been a sinner
And I've been a saint
There's a few things I ain't done
And a few things I can't
I was this close to heaven when I slipped and fell
Between a rock and a hard place
Between heaven and hell

Cause I have been lost
And I have been found
I've been a square
And I've been around
I'm down on my knees
At the heartbreak hotel
Begging for directions
Between heaven and hell

Cause I've been a sinner
And I've been a saint
There's a few things I ain't done
And a few things I can't
I was this close to heaven when I slipped and fell
Between a rock and a hard place
Between heaven and hell

Lord I'm down here on my knees
At some old hotel
Asking for directions
To heaven or hell

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Promises

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Promises

I don't care if you never come home.
I don't mind if you just
Keep on rolling away on a distant sea,
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me.

You cause a commotion when you come to town.
You give 'em a smile and they melt.
And your lovers and friends is all good and fine.
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.
La la la la la la la

I don't care what you do late at night.
No, and I don't care how you get your delights.
I'll leave you alone,
I'll just let you be.
I don't love you and you don't love me.

I got a problem, can you relate?
I got a woman callin' love hate.
We made a vow that we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?
La la la la la la la

I tried to love you for years upon years.
You wouldn't take it for real.
It's time you saw what I wanted you to see,
And I'd still love you and you'd still love me.

I got a problem, can you relate?
I got a woman callin' love hate.
Aw, we made a vow that we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?
La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Honky Tonkin'

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Honky Tonkin'

When you are sad and lonely and have no place to go
Call me up, sweet baby, and bring along some dough
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
Honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town.

When you and your baby have a fallin' out
Just call me up sweet mama and we'll go steppin' out
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
Honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town.

We're goin' to the city, to the city fair
If you go to the city then you will find me there
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
Honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town.

When you are sad and lonely and have no place to go
Call me up, sweet baby, and bring along some dough

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Come And Go Blues

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Come And Go Blues

People say you're no good I couldn't cut to loose babe if I could
Well I seen this thing down on the ground
Baby I'm too far gone to start turnin' around
Well if only you make up your mind
Take me where you go or just leave me here to pine

Lord you got those come and go blues woman you got those come and go blues
Got me feeling like a fool just like a fool

Round and round round to go
Don't ask me why I stay here cause I do know
Maybe I'm a fool to care baby without your sweet love I would be nowhere
Here I'll stay lost in your will until that day I find someone else
But I don't know just when that will be
I don't know I can't say and I can't see

Lord you got those come and go blues woman you got those come and go blues
Got me feeling like a fool just like a fool

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Both Sides Of Goodbye

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Both Sides Of Goodbye

When you pack your clothes tonight don't pack up all the blame.
Your not the first to walk away and leave someone in pain.
I know how much its hurting you, hurting me this way.
Believe me I've been in your shoes and I know you can't stay.


I've been on both sides of goodbye. I know there ain't no easy side. I've
loved and I've been loved but not at the same time. I've been on both sides of
goodbye.


Don't feel so bad for doing what you've got to do.
You can't make your heart love me if it don't want to.
When love just don't work both ways and someones got to go.
So close that door and don't look back, believe me girl I know.


I've been on both sides of goodbye and I know there ain't no easy ride. I've
loved and I've been loved but not at the same time. I've been on both sides of
goodbye.
I've loved and I've been loved but not at the same time I've been on both
sides of goodbye,
goodbye!

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Blood's Thicker Than Water

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Blood's Thicker Than Water

Death bells are ringing in Wichita town
Two brothers will meet when the sun's going down
Blood's thicker than water poor mother cry
Which son will live which son will die

Jimmy Laredo a man with a dream
Sent his young brother Johnny to old Abilene
To bring back his true love by name
Katy Lee the girl he attended his bride to be

The trip was along when they both came to know
That sometimes from friendship a sweet love would grow
He's bringing her back in a new weddin' gown
And there'll be a show down in Wichita town

Jimmy's not worried his six gun's tied down
And no one outdraws him in Wichita town
But can he do it can he kill his kin
Blood's thicker than water his, ma, cries again

The stage made it stop at the Last Chance Saloon
The crowd all stepped back to give both brothers room
Young Johnny stepped down there was fear in his eyes
But for lover pity he'd gladly die

They still tell the story to this very day
How their, ma, jumped between them when Jim made it play
She cried out in anguish oh sons are you blind
If you must take a life oh Lord let it be mine

Death bells are ringing in Wichita town
They mourn for a mother whose son's shot her down
And there in the Wichita's street where she lay
Blood's thicker than water her smile seemed to say

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Hamburger Steak, Holiday Inn

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Hamburger Steak, Holiday Inn

Hamburger Steak Holiday Inn that's the kinda world that I live in

Play a different town most every night

Lovin' your woman write a new song that's my life

That's my life and I love it that's my life

There ain't nothin' else in the world above it

I see people all alone pickin' their guitars and singin' their songs

But I tell 'em forget it cause you can't fake it

If you're gonna make it you've gotta live it

I got a big bus with a tv and a bar

And a little room in the back for me and my ole guitar

Gotta stop and fuel up every five hundred miles

Give a picture to the waitress eat a little breakfast country style

That's my life and I love it...

We get home to Nashville on a Monday night

Record songs on Tuesday and on Wednesday take out the wife

But then on Thursday night it's back on the road

I don't care if it's Montana or down in Louisiana just as long as I go

That's my life and I love it...

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Free Born Man

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Free Born Man

I was born in the Southland! Twenty some odd years ago.
Now I ran away for the first time when I was about four years old.
I'm a free born man. My home is on my back.
Lord, I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile
from a railroad track.
I got a gal in Cincinatti, got a woman in San Antone.
But I always love that girl next door and any ole place is home.
I'm a free born man. My home is on my back.
Lord, I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile
from a railroad track.
I've got me a worn out guitar. I carry an ole tote sack.
I've hocked it about two-hundred times but I always get it back.
I'm a free born man. My home is on my back.
Now I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile from
a railroad track.
You May not like my appearance. You may not like my song,
You might not like the way I am but you sure like the way I'm gone
I'm a free born man. My home is on my back.
Lord, I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile
from a railroad track.

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Howlin' At The Moon

Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. - Howlin' At The Moon

I know there's never been a man in the awful shape I'm in
I can't even spell my name my head's in such a spin
Today I tried to eat a steak with a big old table spoon
You got me chasin' rabbits walkin' on my hands and howlin' on the moon
Well Sug I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad
And then I even want and lost what little sense I had
Now I can't tell the day from night I'm crazy as a loon
You got me chasin' rabbits pullin' out my hair and howlin' at the moon

Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree
Cause there ain't a hounddog in this state that can hold a light to me
I ate three bones for dinner today I tried to tree a coon
You got me chasin' rabbits I'm cratchin' fleas and howlin' at the moon

I rode my horse to town today and a gaspump we did pass
I pulled him up and I hollered whoa and I said fill him up with gas
The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham he changed my tune
You got me chasin' rabbitts spittin' out teeth and howlin' at the moon
I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard
But honey baby when I fell the whole world must have jarred
I think I'd quit my doggish ways if I'd take me for your goom
You got me chasin' rabbitts pickin' out rings and howlin' at the moon
