Hank Williams Jr. - Hank Williams Jr.'s Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 Album Lyrics

I got ketchup on my blue jeans, I just burnt my hand.
Lord, its hard to be a bachelor man.
I got girls that can cook, I got girls that can clean,
I got girls that can do anything in between.
I got to get ready, make everything right,
'cause all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight.

Do you want a drink. Hey do you want to party.
Hey honey this is ole Hank. Ready to get the thing started.
We cooked the pig in the ground, got some beer on ice
And all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight.

Now my party pad is out in the woods
Its long, long way from here to Hollywood,
But I got some natural queens out on the floor
And ole Miss Mississippi just walked through the door.
Got a little wirlpool just made for ten,
And you can jump out and you can jump in.
You can do anything that you want to do,
But uh uhh, don't you step on my cowboy boots.

Do you want to drink. Hey do you want to party.
Hey this is ole Hank. Ready to get your summer started.
I cooked a pig in the ground, we got some beer on ice
And all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight.
Do you want to drink, hey do you want to party.
Hey hey this is rock'n Randall Hank, ready to get the summer time started.
We cooked the pig in the ground, we got some beer on ice,
All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight.
Thats right. Come on in!

Now my daddy died when I was three
My mama didn't bounce me on her knee
My grandma and grandpa is done passed on
That kinda left me all alone
My wife took off after our first child
Oh, my kinda ramblin' life wasn't her kinda style
So I kinda got toughened up and hard learned not to feel
They started callin' the man of steel

And my friends all call me Superman
I never let a woman get the upper hand
Lord, I don't know now what I'm gonna do
The man of steel's done got the blues

Now I've been hurt inside and out
Some of you know what I'm talkin' about
You'll think your poor heart will never, never heal
And you'll wish you were the man of steel

My friends all call me Superman
I never let nobody get the upper hand
Lord, I don't know now what I'm goin' to do
'Cause the man of steel done got the blues

Dirty women, they give me the blues

No woman ever got the best of me
I couldn't walk right out with ease
'Til I fell in love and then she walked out
The man of steel got melted down
Now I can't sleep and I can't eat
Can't watch no love scenes on TV
And I don't know what I'm goin' to
The man of steel done got the blues

My friends all call me Superman
And Superman never let no woman get an upper hand
Lord, I don't know now what I'm gonna do
And the man of steel's done got the blues
Lord, I don't know now what I'm gonna do
Even old Superman gets the blues

Yeah, that woman, she gave me the blues

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
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
Honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town.

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 driftin' cowboy band

We won't talk about the habits
Just the music and the man, that's all

Now Hank, you just got to tell me
Did your daddy really write all them songs, did he
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, you know that

Yeah, back then they called him crazy
Nowadays they call him a saint
Now the ones that called him crazy
Are still ridin' on his name

Well, if he was here right now, Bocephus
Would he think that we were right, do you think he might
Don't you know he would Watasha
Be right here 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
You know I hope he's doin' well, yes I do
He is 'cause he's got one arm around my mama now
And he sure did love Miss Audrey and raisin' hell

I won't ask you no more questions
To the stories only Hank could tell

Back then they called him crazy
Nowadays they call him a saint
Most folks don't know that they fired him from the Opry
And that caused his greatest pain

I loved to tell you about lovesick
How Miss Audrey loved that man
You know I've always loved to listen
To the stories about that driftin' cowboy band and the man

You know when we get right down to it
Still the most wanted outlaw in the land, yeah, woh

I just wanted to tell you what I think about you,
And I don't wanna leave out some important part.
You know I love you and I can't live without you,
You know that you are the queen of my heart.

I've had ladies of passion and women of beauty
But you're the only girl I've opened up to.
But I closed up tight when you left for another,
And that's the part I've never gotten used to.

[Chorus:]
And the Queen's still in England, the King's still in Spain,
My love for you is still the same.
You know that I want you till death do us part
You know that you are the queen of my heart.

If you get this letter, please let me know somethin' :
If youýre comin' back, or is it all through?
Hey, just tell me yes or no, don't keep me hangin',
'cause that's the part I could never get used to.

And the Queen is in England, and the King is in Spain,
And all the King's horses and all the Queen's men
Could never do one thing to keep us apart
If you'll just come back to me, queen of my heart.
I'm tellin' you, you are the queen of my heart.

Hey, I like to do a little rockin'
Ray, I get a little rowdy myself
See if you can sing the high part, brother
Hank, I can if you give me some help

'Cause we're the kind if we set our minds
We're gona do it or bust
Hey, we ain't half bad for two old cats like us

There ain't nothin' like honky tonk music (Now)
When you get an itching to play (Mhm)
And singing those songs like "Hey, Good Lookin'"
And baby tell me "What'd I Say" (That'll work)

We can take it to the limit
Or take it back to the bus
Ain't no problem for two old cats like us

We've been down a whole lot of alleys
Shook a whole lot of cans
Ain't too much about prowlin' or howlin'
That we don't understand

Had a few doors slammed on our tails
We've been kissed and cussed
But everything's cool for two old cats like us
(Play a little)

Now this younger generation, Ray
Is keeping us on our toes (That's right)
Playing everything from western swing
To that good ol' rock and roll

And here we are smack dab in the middle
But I think we can adjust
Hell, there ain't nothing new for two old cats like us
(Tell the truth now)

We've been down a whole lot of alleys
Shook a whole lot of cans
There ain't too much about prowlin' or howlin'
That we don't understand

Had a few doors slammed on our tails
We've been kicked and cussed
But everything's cool for two old cats like us
But everything's cool for two old cats like us
Let's go prowlin'
Alright

I'm gonna shine up my boots pick out my best hat
Goin' to a place called the Ol' Brier Patch
I'm gonna get loose and I'm gonna have fun
Gonna go huntin' but I wont need a gun now

Well the season is always open
And there ain't no limit you see
They can be more challenging then a rocky mountain sheep
I have hunted the four legged deer
But the two legged are a lot more fun
I'm gonna go huntin' tonight Lord
I ain't takin' no gun

'Cause the kind of game I'm looking for is not that hard to snare
But they can be more dangerous than a big ol' grizzly bear
They got long claws, long legs, and a skin already tanned in the sun
I'm gonna go huntin' tonight Lord,
But I ain't takin' no gun

Now those big ol' beautiful wildcats
Are the kind that are hard to track
'Cause the joint is crawlin' with the other hunters
And the she-cat is doublin' back
Now is the time for patience don't fire on the first one
Don't waste your bullets on a little bitty baby
Get a full grown wo wo woman

Hey the kind of game I'm talkin' about is not that hard to snare
But they can be more dangerous than a big ol' grizzly bear
They got long claws, long legs, and a skins' already tanned in the sun
I'm gonna go huntin' tonight boy
But I ain't takin' no gun
Yeah, I'm talkin' about huntin' tonight Lord
No light, no gun
Don't waste your powder on a little bitty baby, get a full grown

Now I met an old friend
In the bar the other night
And he got a little drunk
And he wanted to fight
And he jumped up
And challenged every man in the room
And just about the time he got the words out
An 'ol boy jumped up and closed his mouth
And used his head for a mop
And his butt for a broom

It was an attitude adjustment
I guess it was his first time
An attitude adjustment
Now he understands just fine
He got bent out of shape
And he opened his mouth
And just one appointment
Straightened him right out
It was an attitude adjustment
Oh It'll work every time

Well I've got this big 'ol brother-in-law
And me and him just never did get along
Because he wants to make sure
I'm treating his sister right
He got drunk one night
And started beating me up
And I went and got a tire tool
Out of my truck
And laid him out as cold as a block of ice

It was an attitude adjustment
And it will work every time
An attitude adjustment
I made him see the light
And he says I'm his kind of man
And he comes around with his hat in his hand
It was an attitude adjustment
I cured all his family pride

Now my girlfriend slapped me in the face
I said darlin' that was you're first mistake
Then she went wild and her eyes turned red
She started breaking everything
And screaming loud
And kickin' me and cussin' me out
And I gave her a little adjustment
On the top of the head

It was an attitude adjustment
Now she loves on me all the time
Just an attitude adjustment
She got a whole new frame of mind
She don't nag
And I don't beg
And we get along and like I said
Just an attitude adjustment
Oh everything's just fine
Well almost

She called the cops to take me in
And I said you're never gonna do it friend
And they just smiled
And said "Oh Yes We Will"
Now a stick to the head
And some kicks in the chin
And a several bites from Rin Tin Tin
And I couldn't wait to get into that jail

It was an attitude adjustment
Oh I went along peacefully
Attitude adjustment
Oh they made me clearly see
Cause my head is black
And my legs are blue
And both knee caps are bent clean through
It was an attitude adjustment
It made my whole outlook brand new
Just a attitude adjustment
It made my whole outlook brand new

I took a job in the city
And I left my country home
I learned to survive and I got street-wise
But I couldn't tell for how long

Then I met you where they sing the blues
Downtown a few months ago
And you taught me it's still good to believe in love
And I love you so

I'm makin' some major moves
Oh, city girl, to get to you
I'm makin' some major moves
Oh, darlin', major moves just for you

I sold some things and I bought a ring
And I've been married before one time
And this major move just goes to prove
Like they say love is really blind

Yes, I've made a change
And there ain't no one to blame
But me if things don't work out right

And they just might work out
'Cause all I think about
Is that city girl and country boy tonight

I'm makin' some major moves
Oh, city girl, just for you
I'm makin' some major moves
Oh, darlin, major moves to get to you

I'm makin' some major moves
Oh, darlin', just to get with you
I'm makin' some major moves
Oh, baby, major moves to get to you
Major moves all for you

Now they say, Hank Jr. has strayed away
Of all them songs that put his daddy in an early grave
But his daddy would be proud, he could see Bocephus now
Why don't you leave that boy alone, let him sing his song?

Ole Waylon has been known to play half time
And he been known to get out of his mind
Don't know whether he's right or wrong
He's got a string of hits about two miles long
Why don't you leave that boy alone and let him sing his song?

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing there songs?
You know there gonna do whatever they want
If you don't like the way they sing who's gonna cast the first stone?
Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing there song?

Hank Williams was the king of country soul
My daddy took me to see him in Lubuck but he didn't show
Now the people got mad and they all went home
The first thing we did was put his records on
I guess, we should have left him alone and let him sing his song

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing there songs?
You know there gonna do whatever they want
If you don't like the way they sing who's gonna cast the first stone?
(One more time, Earnest)
Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing there song?

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing there song?
