(With George Jones)
Hey, George
Yeah
Would you like to sing a country song?
Yeah, Hank
I'm as country as the day is long
Can you sing about drinking
Heartaches and misery?
There ain't nobody, Hank
Who knows it any better than me
We can sing those songs
About the honky tonks
And the girls we used to know
About the tours we made
And the jumps we played
And somewhere old possum didn't show
You know, George
It's been a tough old game to win
Well, that's right, Hank
But I'd do it all over again
Hey, Hank
Yeah
Now you've had your share of trouble and woes?
Well, like you, George
They won't play me on the radio
Yes, Hank
I know what you say is true
But the fans out there
They love everything we do
So let's keep on doing
What we've always done
And most folks will agree
It's got my heart in tone
And it's real homegrown
Like country music ought to be
Hey, George
Yeah, Hank
I think we've stood the test of time
But just look at the history
Hank, we're gonna leave behind
Everybody knows just who we are
Cause we sing our very own style
It's yours and mine
And it's one of a kind
And it's country by country mile
Hey, George
Yeah
Do you think
We oughtta stake our playing?
Yes, sir Hank
