If You Don't Like Hank Williams Lyrics

Cover art for If You Don't Like Hank Williams lyrics by Kris Kristofferson

This song is directed to Kris' mother who disowned him when Kris ditched the being a Captain in the Army, the teaching English gig at US Military Academy {West Point} and what ended up to be his family in lieu of going to Nashville and landing a job as a janitor at Columbia records while chasing his dream of being a songwriter.

Kris' dad, Lars, it should be mentioned, was a retired Major General {2-Star General} and giving everything all up to chase, in her mind, a pipe dream was more than his mom could bear.
