Play Me a Hank Song - Tyler Childers

Well it all seemed so happy

But how can that be?

When there’s a whole class of people

Just as lonesome as me

You asked me to tell you

How I can be so blue?

But you’d be the same

If the girl of your dreams

Broke your heart in two

So play me a Hank song

To ease my pain

Because it helps to know someone

Felt the same damn way

Alone and forsaken

Brother, what can I say?

I feel like a Hank song

Since she went away

Ol' KG’s my buddy

We go way back

To the times back in high school

When I was too poor for Jack

But even he knows that sometimes

You can’t help right the wrongs

By gettin' stoned blind

You need to sit down and pine

To a Hank Sr song

So play me a Hank song

To ease my pain

Because it helps to know someone

Felt the same damn way

Alone and forsaken

Brother what can I say?

You know I feel like a Hank song

Since she went away

Well I hope that she’s happy

And I hope that she’s free

I hope she finds her a man

To treat her like a queen

And then up out of nowhere

When she needs him around

She wakes up to find

She’s ran out of time, and he’s ran out of town

I hope she needs her a Hank song

To ease her pain

Because it’ll help to know someone

Felt the same damn way

Alone and forsaken

Honey what can I say?

I hope you feel like a Hank song

One of these days
