YOU'RE GONNA CHANGE (OR I'M GONNA LEAVE)
(Hank Williams)


Hank Williams - 1949
George Jones - 1962
Hank Williams Jr. - 1972





Well you wore out a brand new trunk
Packin' and unpackin' your junk
Your daddy's mad, he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

You're gonna change your way of livin', change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you oughtn't to
Your daddy's mad, he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

Well now, this ain't right, that is wrong
You just keep a-naggin' all the day long
It's gotta stop, I don't mean please
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

The way to keep a woman happy, make her do what's right
Is love her every mornin', bawl her out at night
Your daddy's mad, he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

(Instrumental Break)

Well now, every time you get mad
You pack your rags and you go back to dad
You tell him lies he don't believe
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

You're gonna change your ways o' livin', change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you oughtn't to
Your daddy's mad, he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave
