None of My Friends
Lonesome Tunes: Embracing the Soulful Solitude of Hank Williams' Melodies
Lyrics
Well none of my friends wanna listen to Hank Williams
Cooper Tropeau's friends are not interested in listening to Hank Williams.
They don't think the man in black is cool like I do
His friends don't share his appreciation for the coolness of the "man in black" (possibly referring to Johnny Cash).
The redheaded stranger and ole Merle Haggard are both strangers to them and
The friends are unfamiliar with "the redheaded stranger" (possibly Willie Nelson) and "ole Merle Haggard."
None of my friends wanna listen to Hank Williams
Reiteration that his friends are uninterested in Hank Williams.
Well I was raised on a George Jones Sixteen Greatest Hits
Cooper was raised listening to George Jones' Sixteen Greatest Hits.
A CD in my daddy's pickup truck we used to listen to as kids
He recalls listening to a CD in his dad's pickup truck, a nostalgic experience from his childhood.
It was Luckenbach Texas with the ramblin' man and a little bit of Keith Whitley thrown in
Specific songs and artists like "Luckenbach Texas," "ramblin' man," and Keith Whitley were part of his childhood soundtrack.
But none of my friends wanna listen to Hank Williams
Reiteration that his friends don't appreciate Hank Williams.
Well and it's lovin' cheatin' drinkin' songs with the odd truck thrown in
Cooper enjoys songs about love, cheating, drinking, and occasionally, trucks.
Songs about good livin' and songs about sin
His music taste includes songs about both the pleasures and vices of life.
So when I'm coming down from a feeling high
When he's coming down from a high, he turns to "I'm so lonesome I could cry" for solace.
I just crank up I'm so lonesome I could cry
Reiteration that his friends do not share his affinity for Hank Williams.
None of my friends wanna listen to Hank Williams
Reiteration that his friends are not interested in Hank Williams.
Well it was a sad sad day when my momma's dad passed away
A sad day when Cooper's maternal grandfather passed away, but he left behind a jukebox with forty-fives (vinyl records).
But he left behind an old rock-ola jukebox with forty-fives to play
Cooper used to stay up late enjoying classic country vinyl on the jukebox.
Used to stay up til the crack of dawn getting my classic country vinyl on but
Despite his fond memories, his friends are still not into Hank Williams.
None of my friends wanna listen to Hank Williams
Reiteration that his friends don't appreciate Hank Williams.
And I like lovin' cheatin' drinkin' songs with the odd truck thrown in

So when I'm coming down from a feeling high

Well there ain't no feeling quite as nice as throwing a pack of brewskis on ice
Expressing the pleasure of enjoying a pack of beers on ice while unwinding to country sounds.
And getting real unwound to the twang of a good old country sound but
Despite the enjoyment, he finds himself alone in appreciating retro music these days.
These days I find I'm all alone when it comes to throwing anything retro on and
His friends are not interested in throwing anything retro on.
None of my friends wanna listen to Hank Williams
