How's My Ex Treating You
Hank Williams Jr. · The Early Years, Part One [1986]
Has she had time, time to find someone new
Any day now will be her last,
son, I know from the past
'Cause I was once, once there too,
how's my ex treating you?
Like the sand she moves with the tide
Your two arms will never keep her satisfied
You can't keep her satisfied
She'll use you just the way she used me too
But up till now how's my ex treating you?
Like the sand she moves with the tide
Your two arms will never keep her satisfied
She'll use you just the way you use her too
But up till now how's my ex treating you?

It reflects the broader musical landscape of the time, where traditional country elements merged with rock energy to create a sound that resonated deeply with fans seeking authenticity. As a staple of his discography, the recording showcases his ability to transform personal sorrow into a powerful, cathartic performance that has become a defining moment in his catalog.
