Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way
Rebelling with Rhymes: Hank's Musical Legacy Unveiled
Lyrics
Lord, it's the same old tune
Expressing familiarity with a repetitive or predictable situation.
Fiddle and guitar
Referring to traditional country music instruments.
Where do we take it from here?
Pondering the future direction of country music.
Rhinestone suit's and new shiny cars
Mentioning flashy clothing and cars associated with success.
It's been the same way for years
Noting the enduring consistency in the country music scene.
We need a change
Expressing a need for change in the established norms.
Somebody told me when I came to Nashville
Recalling advice received upon arriving in Nashville.
Son, you finally got it made
Suggesting assurance of success in the music industry.
Old Hank made it here and we're
Referencing Hank Williams' success in Nashville.
All sure that you will
Assuming the artist will follow Hank Williams' path.
But I don't think Hank done it this way
Casting doubt on the conformity to Hank Williams' style.
No, I don't think Hank done it this way
Reiterating skepticism about following Hank's approach.
Ten years on the road
Reflecting on a decade of touring experiences.
Makin' one night stands
Engaging in a lifestyle of frequent one-night performances.
Speedin' my young life away
Regretting the fast-paced and reckless nature of youth.
Tell me one more time
Seeking clarification on whether Hank Williams followed this path.
Just so I'll understand
Desiring additional explanation for better understanding.
Are your sure Hank done it this way?
Repeating the uncertainty about Hank Williams' approach.
Did ol' Hank really do it this way?

Lord, I've seen the world with
Having experienced global travels with a musical group.
A five piece band
Describing the perspective of being on stage with a band.
Looking at the backside of me
Reflecting on the challenges and scrutiny faced.
Singing my songs and one of his now and then
Performing original songs alongside covers of Hank Williams.
But I don't think Hank done 'em this way
Expressing doubt about Hank Williams' style being emulated.
No, I don't think Hank done 'em this way
Reiterating skepticism about following Hank's approach.
