about

I love me a good Hank Williams Jr song now and then, and I also love me a good whiskey drinking song - so this seemed like a natural to play during those late night hours when we’re all just looking to sing-a-long and have some fun. Of course when I learned more (and more) about Hank Jr’s conservative ways it felt pretty rad to take one of his songs and queer it up a bit. After all - we all like whiskey and women. So let’s just get a long - right?

lyrics

Whiskey Bent And Hell Bound
original by Hank Williams Jr.

I've got a good woman at home who thinks I do no wrong
But sometimes lord she just ain't always around
And you know that's when I fall I can't help myself at all
And I get whiskey bent and hell bound

Play me some songs about a rambling man put a cold one in my hand
Cause you know I love to hear those guitar sounds
Don't you play I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
Cause I'll get all balled up inside
And I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound

Sure enough about closing time I'm stoned out of my mind
And I end up with some honky tonk special I found
Just as sure as the morning sun come thinking of my sweet girl at home
And I need to get whiskey bent and hell bound

Play me some songs about a rambling man put old Bulleit in my hand
Cause you know I still love to get drunk and hear country sounds
But don't you play Your Cheating Heart cause that'll tear me all apart
I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound

Yeah old Hank's songs always make me feel low down
