If You Don't Like Hank Williams Lyrics

I like Charlie Daniels
and I love big John Cash.
And I think Waylon "Wall-Tosser" Jennings is a table thumping smash.
Playing with Marshall Tucker Band was as good as smoking grass.
But anyone that don't like Hank Williams,
They can kiss our ass.

Cause I think what they done was well worth doin',
and they're doin' it the best that they can.
Oh, but you're the only one that you are screwin'
When you put down what you don't understand.

Now I love all them Allman Brothers, Merle Haggard and George Jones.
Shotgun Willie Nelson, and them rockin' Rolling Stones.
Everything the Eagles do.
I'm in love with Linda Rondstadt.
But anyone that don't like Hank Williams,
They can kiss our ass.

Cause I think what they done was well worth doin',
and they're doin' it the best that they can.
Oh, but you're the only one that you are screwin'
When you put down what you don't understand.

Oh, I ain't sayin' that he was the first, or the last.
But if you don't like Hank Williams,
You can kiss our ass.
