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

Hey St Peter give me cloud number nine

And tell Hank Sr that Jr’s on the line

Oh please Lord tell him I got some real good news

I wanna speak man to man with the man who used to moan the blues

I’ve been livin' on the road seen a lot of things

Broke a lot of hearts and some guitar strings

I know what poor old pappy was a goin' through

We’ll meet person to person and man to man

From South Alabama to the promised land

I wanna speak man to man

With the man who used to moan the blues

I mean person to person and man to man

We come form south Alabama to the promised land

I wannna speak man to man

With the man who used to moan the blues
