The Conversation by Hank Williams, Jr.

The Conversation Lyrics

[00:05.25] Hank, let's talk about your daddy
[00:10.70] Tell me how your mama loved that man
[00:15.61] Well, just break out the bottle, Hoss
[00:18.94] I'll tell ya about the driftin' cowboy band
[00:25.70] We won't talk about the habits
[00:29.84] Just the music and the man (that's all)
[00:36.52] Now Hank, you just gotta tell me
[00:42.17] Did your daddy really write all them songs? (Did he?)
[00:47.51] That don't deserve no answer, Hoss
[00:50.63] Let's light up and just move along
[00:57.02] Do you think he wrote 'em about your mama?
[01:01.13] And about the man who done her wrong?
[01:05.91] (You know that)
[01:07.94] Yeah, back then, they called him crazy
[01:11.78] Nowadays, they call him a saint
[01:19.10] Now the ones that called him crazy (come on)
[01:22.88] Are still ridin' on his name
[01:29.08] Well, if he was here right now, Bocephus
[01:33.45] Would he think that we were right?
[01:37.34] (Do you think he might?)
[01:40.69] Don't you know he would, Watasha
[01:44.34] Be right here by our side?
[01:50.61] If we left for a show in Provo
[01:53.49] He'd be the first one on the bus and ready to ride
[01:58.06] I just wanna go, Hoss
[02:00.92] Wherever he is, I hope he's happy
[02:05.22] And, oh, I hope he's doin' well (yes, I do)
[02:10.94] He is, 'cause he's got one arm around my mama now
[02:14.98] And he sure did love Miss Audrey and a raisin' hell
[02:22.54] I won't ask you no more questions
[02:26.08] To the stories only Hank can tell (no, you can tell me)
[02:33.65] Back then, they called him crazy
[02:36.95] Nowadays, they call him a saint
[02:42.99] Most folks don't know that they fired him from the Opry
[02:48.19] And that caused his greatest pain
[02:54.75] I'd love to tell you about lovesick
[02:58.34] How Miss Audrey loved that man
[03:04.71] You know I've always loved to listen
[03:08.03] To the stories about that driftin' cowboy band, and the man
[03:15.46] You know, when we get right down to it
[03:18.85] Still the most wanted outlaw in the land
[03:23.25] Yeah
[03:25.50] Woo!
[03:26.37]
