Conversation — текст песни (Hank Williams, Jr.)

[ with Waylon Jennings ]

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
Now Hank if you just got to tell me did your daddy really write all them songs
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
Well back then they called him crazy now a days they call him a saint
Now the ones that called him Lord crazy 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 walk tall sir be right 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 and I hope he`s doin` well yes I do
He is cause he`s got one arm around my mama
How he sure did love Miss Audrey and raisin` hell
Guess I`ve asked you too many questions to the stories only Hank could tell
Well back then they called him crazy now a days they call him a saint
Most folks don`t know that they fired him from the Opry
And that caused him the greatest pain
I loved to tell you about lovesick and how Miss Audrey loved that man
You know I`ve always loved to listen
To the stories about the driftin` cowboy band
You know when we get right down ti it still the most wanted outlaws in the land
