Hotel Whiskey

Hank Williams Jr. · Maverick [1992]

I was born a ramblin' man with swamp water on my hand

Daddy died so young and I had to help Momma get by

So I learned how to sing those songs

I learned how to honky tonk moan

And I learned how to sleep in a different bed every night



Sometimes we slept in the car

Lots of times we slept in some old bar

Well then we got a bus and we thougth we were flyin' real high

But the best place I ever stayed

Where I really learned how to sing and how to play

I got the good times on my mind at The Hotel Whiskey



Lord I wanna go back down there to Hotel Whiskey

Oh I wanna drink and dance and watch the ladies prance and get friskey

Yes I do

No I'm not gonna worry about drivin' a car

I'll go up and get a room and bring my old guitar

I got the good times on my mind down there at Hotel Whiskey



I'm not a kid anymore but this ain't no mid-life crisis

Because whiskey and women have always been my vices

I'm gonna buy a drink and take it to the band

And talk to that gal that's got my heart in her hand

I got the good times on my mind down there at Hotel Whiskey



Lord I wanna go back down to Hotel Whiskey

I'm gonna drink and dance and watch the women prance and get friskey

Oh yes indeed

No I'm not gonna worry about drivin' a car

I got a bottle and a room and my old guitar

I got the good times on my mind at The Hotel Whiskey

What do you say Clint?



Hank before I die I wanna tie one on

And go with you and listen to them songs

I got the good times on my mind

Yeah well let's blow it out one more time

Well Hank let's all go unwind down at The Hotel Whiskey
