Hank & Jesus Lyrics

Thank daddy for Hank
Thank mama for Jesus
Between the vinyl and the Bible
It was everything I ever needed
It was six strings on a Saturday night
Sunday morning seeing the light
Thank daddy for Hank
Thank mama for Jesus

Well, I wasn't born this way
It was handed on down
Moses, Bocephus both coming on down
From the mountain, I was lost and found then
I was baptized in a whiskey fountain

Thank daddy for Hank
Thank mama for Jesus
Between the vinyl and the Bible
It was everything I ever needed
It was six strings on a Saturday night
Sunday morning seeing the light
Thank daddy for Hank
Thank mama for Jesus, oh yeah

Yeah,I took a little bit of hell
She said my eyes are heaven
A touch of King James, yeah
And a touch of King Elvis

Thank daddy for Hank
Thank mama for Jesus
Between the vinyl and the Bible
It was everything I ever needed
It was six strings on a Saturday night
Sunday morning seeing the light
Thank daddy for Hank
Thank mama for Jesus, oh yeah

(guitar solo)

Thank daddy for Hank
Thank mama for Jesus
Between the vinyl and the Bible
It was everything I ever needed
It was six strings on a Saturday night
Sunday morning seeing the light
Thank daddy for Hank
Thank mama for Jesus, oh yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
