Lyrics Man To Man - Hank Williams Jr.

Man To Man

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
