The Conversation lyrics

[ with Waylon Jennings ]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hank let's talk about your daddy tell me how your mama loved that man<br />
<br />
Well just break out a bottle hoss I'll tell you bout the driftin' cowboy band<br />
<br />
We won't talk about the habits just the music and the man<br />
<br />
Now Hank if you just got to tell me did your daddy really write all them songs<br />
<br />
That don't deserve no answer hoss let's light up and just move along<br />
<br />
Do you think he wrote 'em about your mama or about the man who done her wrong<br />
<br />
Well back then they called him crazy now a days they call him a saint<br />
<br />
Now the ones that called him Lord crazy still ridin' on his name<br />
<br />
Well if he was here right now Bocephus<br />
<br />
Would he think that we were right do you think he might<br />
<br />
Don't you know he would walk tall sir be right by our side<br />
<br />
If we left for a show in Provo he'd be the first one on the bus and ready to ride<br />
<br />
Wherever he is I hope he's happy and I hope he's doin' well yes I do<br />
<br />
He is cause he's got one arm around my mama<br />
<br />
How he sure did love Miss Audrey and raisin' hell<br />
<br />
Guess I've asked you too many questions to the stories only Hank could tell<br />
<br />
Well back then they called him crazy now a days they call him a saint<br />
<br />
Most folks don't know that they fired him from the Opry<br />
<br />
And that caused him the greatest pain<br />
<br />
I loved to tell you about lovesick and how Miss Audrey loved that man<br />
<br />
You know I've always loved to listen<br />
<br />
To the stories about the driftin' cowboy band<br />
<br />
You know when we get right down ti it still the most wanted outlaws in the land
