Don't Give Us A Reason
Hank Williams Jr. · The Complete Hank Williams Jr. [1999]
When you thought the whole world would back down
And let you take all the oil in red kuwait and plunder and spoil
Let sleeping dogs lie don't give us a reason
Cuz people in the USA are not really afraid
Of your starving army and all your worn out tanks
And if you take some innocent lives
Thats when the furs really gonna fly
Hey, man back off get smart, don't give us a reason
Don't give us a reason
To come gunning for you
Cuz the odds don't look so good
And your neck is in a nouse
Cuz the eagle and the bear
Make a mighty strong pair
And my advice is don't give us a reason
Lyrics www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/hank_williams_jr/
When all our people over there
Know that we all care
Now that's a situation ole' Saddom you don't wanna be in
Cuz if you do something stupid
We're gonna come down hard ole cupid
You better think this thing all the way out
Don't give us a reason
Don't give us a reason
To come gunning for you
Cuz the odds don't look so good
And your neck is in a nouse
Yeah you picked on your little neighbor
So do yourself a favor
Get out and go home and don't give us a reason
Yeah we've heard all your threats
and you're gonna freight yourself to death
My advice is don't give us a reason
You can take that poison gas, and stick it in your sassaphras
Don't give us a reason
Yeah I'd like to find out, just for fun, just how fast those camels run
I'll tell you son don't give us a reason
No the desert ain't veitnam
And there ain't nowhere to run
And we got the real top guns
Don't give us a reason
Don't Give Us A Reason
Hank Williams Jr.'s "Don't Give Us A Reason" stands as a quintessential example of his raw, country-rock sound, characterized by his signature raspy vocals and driving guitar work. Recorded for his 1999 compilation, the track exemplifies the artist's ability to blend traditional country storytelling with a gritty, outlaw aesthetic that defined his career. The song captures the frustration and resilience of the working-class experience, a recurring theme in Williams Jr.'s discography. With its high-energy delivery and unpolished authenticity, the recording reinforces his status as a pivotal figure in modern country music, influencing a generation of artists who value emotional directness over production perfection. It remains a staple of his live performances, showcasing his enduring connection with audiences who appreciate the unvarnished truth of his music.
