Hank Williams Jr. - Hank Williams Jr.'s Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 Album Lyrics

I work every day the sun comes up from eight until five
I don't have a new Mercedes car or a chauffer to drive
My wife ain't out shoppin' with a country club queen
Cause she's workin' in the morning until she picks up the kids at three

And this ain't Dallas and this ain't Dynasty
This is a real-life two job working family
And I ain't J.R. You ain't Suellen
We're just a man and a woman holding things together

Now we all like to watch those shows and we all like to dream
You know J.R. is making deals and Alexis is making steam
Joan and Linda, Victoria and Morgan they're a sight to see
My ole lady said, "I know what you're thinkin'"
I said "Now honey, don'tcha know all of that is on TV

And this ain't Dallas, this ain't Dynasty
This is makin' a livin' down in Tennessee
And I ain't J.R. and you ain't Suellen
Nah We're just man and woman holding things together

No this ain't Dallas and this ain't Dynasty
This is makin' a livin' down in Tennessee
I ain't J.R. and you ain't Suellen
Nah just man and woman holding this thing together

And we're just a man and woman holding this thing together

Now I know for certain, you're the one I love
I'm through with flirtin', just you I'm dreamin' of
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you

Like Jack Horner, in a corner
Don't go no where, why do I care?
Your kisses are worth waiting for, believe me

I don't stay out late, I don't care to go
I'm home about eight, just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you

Like Jack Horner, in a corner
Don't go nowhere, why do I care?
Your kisses are worth waiting for, believe me

I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
Catchin these fish like they're goin out of style
Drinkin this homemade wine
Hey, if the sun don't come up tomorrow
People, I've had a good time
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

I bet the old man's in the kitchen
He's got my kind of music on his radio
Oh, drinkin his beer and dialin up the request line
Momma and old Aunt Joan
Probably in the dining room tryin to use the phone
Me, I'm thinkin about that girl and later tonight
Oh, yeah

I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
Hey, I'm atchin these fish like they're goin out of style
I'm drinkin this homemade wine
And if the sun don't come up tomorrow
People, I've had a good time
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind

You know, the red necks and the hippies
They are in their discos and honkytonks
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
Lord, I know just how they feel
You gotta get out and kick up your heels
And ain't it great to be livin in the USA

Me, I'm laid up here in a country state of mind
Catchin these fish like they're goin out of style
And drinkin this homemade wine, all the time
If the sun don't shine tomorrow
People, I have had a good time
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
(I know where Hank Jr is)

Yodel-ay-ee-oh, yodel-ay-ee-oh
Yodel-ay-ee-hee
Hee, hee

We know what's right, we know what's wrong
We know what we like, to hear in a song
We like some of the old stuff, we like some of the new
But we do our own choosen, we pick our own music
If you don't mind thank you

We are young country, we like all kinds
Of music and people, cuz we don't draw no lines
No our hair is not orange,we don't wear chains and spikes
But we know how to have fun come Saturday night

We like old Waylon, hey we know Van Hallen
We like ZZ Top , we like country and rock
Old Hank would be proud and Elvis would too
We like our country mixed with some big city blu's

We are young contry, we are the pride
The sons and the daughters of American live
Old Hank would be proud and Elvis would too
Cuz we like our country, mixed with some rythem and blue's
We know when it's hot ,we know when it's not
If you don't mind thank you

I looked on the bedside table but your jewelry was all gone.
And I just wish you'd call everytime I look at the phone.
I looked in our dressing mirror and I saw myself break down.
Oh I looked all over hell but heaven can't be found.

I called and looked in everyplace you used to hang around.
I've searched in every bar and club and honkey-tonk in town.
And I don't know if I can go on without breaking down.
I've looked all over hell but heaven can't be found.

And I don't know if I can go on without breaking down.
Oh, I've looked all over hell but my heaven can't be found.

[Hank Sr:]
Last night I walked the floor
And the night before

[Both:]
You are on my lonely mind

[Hank Sr:]
It seems my life is through
And I'm so doggone blue

[Both:]
You are on my lonely mind

[Hank Sr:]
I'm gonna keep drinkin til I can't move a toe
And then maybe my heart won't hurt me so

[Both:]
There's a tear in my beer
Cause I'm cryin for you dear
You are on my lonely mind

[Hank Sr:]
Lord, I've tried and I've tried
But my tears I can't hide

[Both:]
You are on my lonely mind

[Hank Sr:]
All these blues that I've found
Have really got me down

[Both:]
You are on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinkin til I can't even think
Cause in the last week I ain't slept a wink
There's a tear in my beer
Cause I'm crying for you dear
You are on my lonely mind
