Hank Drank

He was the most famous singer of all
I was born the year he died
To me he said it all

Even after all this time
And since you walked out the door
I play his records every night
And I know what a cheatin' heart is
Now 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'

And now I know why 'Hank Drank'
And what he went through
Lord he was so lonesome
He had the love sick blues

Yes I know why 'Hank Drank'
That's why I do it too
Let me tell you why 'Hank Drank'
To get over someone like you

Hank tried to make his woman happy
I tried to make you happy too
Oh Hank wrote the story for me
'Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used To Do'
To me he is a hero
Good Lord he sang just how I feel
Now darling don't let nobody fool you
These old 'Honky Tonk Blues' are real

And now I know why 'Hank Drank'
And what he went through
Lord he was so lonesome
He had the 'Lovesick Blues'
Yes I know why 'Hank Drank'
That's why I do it too
Let me tell you why 'Hank Drank'
To get over someone like you
Now I know why 'Hank Drank'
To get over someone like you
