Man to Man Hank Williams Jr.

Hey Saint Peter give me cloud number nine
And tell my daddy that Jr's on the line
Oh please Lord someday I'll be a talkin' to you
I wanna speak man to man
With the man who used to moan the blues

I never had the chance to get to know the man the whole world knew as Hank
But I got to know some pretty famous rowdy friends and they told me he was the king
I remember him singing 'bout a lost highway I've been down that same road too
Hey, my mama had me spendin' my younger days trying to fill my daddy's shoes

Now that I'm grown I'm a man of my own
I think I know why Lovesick sang the way he used to do
I surely do
I bet a hundred dollars son a woman was the one
Who made my daddy sing the way he sang the blues

You know I can't help but wonder if he was still with us
Just what he would think
About his little son he called Bocephus
Now is Rockin' Randall Hank
I've been many many a mile since I quit walking in his shoes
These days I got my own style and my people love the blues

Livin' on the road doing one night shows I know about the hard life Mama and Daddy used to go through
Yeah I surely do
In the sweet by and by I'm gonna look him in the eye
And I'm gonna shake the hand of the man who used to moan the blues
