HAMBURGER STEAK HOLIDAY INN
(Hank Williams Jr.)


Hank Williams Jr. - 1972




Hamburger steaks, Holiday Inn
That's the kinda world that I live in
Play a different town most every night
Lovin' your woman, write a new song, that's my life

That's my life and I love it
That's my life, there ain't nothin' else in the world above it
I see people all alone pickin' their guitars and singin' their songs
But I tell 'em forget it 'cause you can't fake it
If you're gonna make it you gotta live it

I got a big bus with a TV and a bar
And a little room in the back for me and my old guitar
Gotta stop and fuel up ev'ry five hundred miles
Give a picture to the waitress, eat a late breakfast, country style

That's my life and I love it
That's my life, there ain't nothin' else in the world above it
I see people all alone pickin' their guitars and singin' their songs
But I tell 'em forget it 'cause you can't fake it
If you're gonna make it you gotta live it

We get home to Nashville on a Monday night
Record songs on Tuesday and on Wednesday take out the wife
But then on Thursday night it's back on the road
I don't care if it's Montana or down in Louisiana, just as long as I go

That's my life and I love it
That's my life, there ain't nothin' else in the world above it
I see people all alone pickin' their guitars and singin' their songs
But I tell 'em forget it 'cause you can't fake it
If you're gonna make it you gotta live it
