Just Call Me Hank
Bocephus' Country Pride: A Journey of Life and Love
Lyrics
Over the hill, that's one place I won't go
Refusing to accept decline or aging.
'Cause I still sell out everywhere, I don't do many shows
Despite limited appearances, still in high demand.
It's going to be loud and proud, and it's going to be real
Commitment to being authentic and genuine.
It's the only way that I know how, cause when I sing I feel
Singing is an integral part of self-expression.
Waylon is there with me, Troy and Ronnie too
Close friends and fellow musicians join in.
God knows I thought I'd never shed the lovesick blues
Had experienced heartbreak but moved past it.
Thanks to all the ladies that helped me
Grateful acknowledgment to supportive women.
Make it through the night
Appreciation for help during tough times.
Yes I've been blessed and I've been left
Both fortunate and abandoned, still performs.
Here to sing 'em for you right
Dedication to singing for the audience.
Don't call me an icon, I don't care about the hall of fame
Rejecting being labeled an icon, focusing on life.
Just gonna live my life in my country boy kinda way
Desire to live life according to personal values.
Yeah I know that lonesome whipper well, road the pan-american train
Awareness of loneliness, past travels.
My name is Bocephus but I'm really proud
Proud of heritage, regardless of stage name.
When someone just calls me Hank
Preference for the familiarity of being called "Hank."
Don't call me an icon, I don't care about the hall of fame
Reiterating disinterest in fame or titles.
I'm just gonna live my life in our southern kinda way
Choosing to live according to regional values.
Yeah I know that lonesome whipper well
Recollection of past experiences, echoing line 15.
I road the Pan-American train
Repetition of past travels and identity.
My name is Bocephus but I'm really proud
Reaffirmation of pride in heritage and nickname.
When someone just calls me Hank
Preferential acknowledgment of being called "Hank."
