Hank Williams (All Three) The Conversation lyrics

Hank, let's talk about your daddy<br />
Tell me how your mama loved that man<br />
Well, just break out a bottle hoss<br />
I'll tell you 'bout the driftin' cowboy band<br />
<br />
We won't talk about the habits<br />
Just the music and the man<br />
Now Hank, if you just got to tell me<br />
Did your daddy really write all them songs<br />
<br />
That don't deserve no answer hoss<br />
Let's light up and just move along<br />
Do you think he wrote 'em about your mama<br />
Or about the man who done her wrong<br />
<br />
Well, back then, they called him crazy<br />
Nowadays they call him a saint<br />
Now the ones that called him Lord crazy<br />
Still ridin' on his name<br />
<br />
Well, if he was here right now, Bocephus<br />
Would he think that we were right?<br />
Do you think he might?<br />
Don't you know he would walk tall<br />
Sir be right by our side<br />
<br />

If we left for a show in Provo<br />
He'd be the first one on the bus and ready to ride<br />
Wherever he is, I hope he's happy<br />
And I hope he's doin' well, yes, I do<br />
<br />
He is 'cause he's got one arm around my mama<br />
How he sure did love Miss Audrey and raisin' hell<br />
Guess, I've asked you too many questions<br />
To the stories only Hank could tell<br />
<br />
Well, back then they called him crazy<br />
Nowadays they call him a saint<br />
Most folks don't know that they fired him from the Opry<br />
And that caused him the greatest pain<br />
<br />
I loved to tell you about lovesick<br />
And how Miss Audrey loved that man<br />
You know, I've always loved to listen<br />
To the stories about the driftin' cowboy band<br />
<br />
You know when we get right down to it<br />
Still the most wanted outlaws in the land
