The Conversation Lyrics

Waylon Jennings:
Hank, let's talk about your daddy
Tell me how your mama loved that man
Hank Williams, Jr.:
Well, just break out a bottle, hoss
I'll tell ya' 'bout the drifting cowboy band
Waylon Jennings:
We won't talk about the habits
Both:
Just the music and the man
Waylon Jennings:
That's all

Waylon Jennings:
Now, Hank, you just gotta tell me
Did your daddy really write all them songs, did he?
Hank Williams, Jr.:
That don't deserve no answer, hoss
Let's light up and just move along
Waylon Jennings:
Do you think he wrote 'em about your mama
Or about the man who done her wrong?
Hank Williams, Jr.:
You know that

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

Waylon Jennings:
Well, if he was here right now, Bocephus
Would he think that we were right?
Spoken:
Do you think he might?
Hank Williams, Jr.:
Don't you know he would, watashi
Be right here by our side
Waylon Jennings:
If we left for a show in Provo
Both:
Be the first one on the bus and ready to ride
Waylon Jennings:
Last one to go, hoss

Waylon Jennings:
Wherever he is, I hope he's happy
You know, I hope he's doing well
Yes, I do
Hank Williams, Jr.:
He is
'Cause he's got one arm around my mama now
And he sure did love Miss Audrey and raisin' hell
Waylon Jennings:
I wont ask you no more questions
Both:
To the stories only Hank could tell
Hank Williams, Jr.:
And he could tell 'em

Both:
Back then they called him crazy
Nowadays they call him a saint
Hank Williams, Jr.:
Most folks don't know that
Both:
They fired him from the Opry
Waylon Jennings:
And that caused his greatest pain

Hank Williams, Jr.:
I'd love to tell you about lovesick
How Miss Audrey loved that man
Waylon Jennings:
You know I've always loved to listen
To the stories about that drifting cowboy band
And the man
Waylon Jennings:
You know when we get right down to it
Both:
Still the most wanted outlaw in the land
Yeah, whoo
