I'm drunk in the South just like Hank
D A D D7
I'm way down in the mire just like Hank
G D Bm
You can hide your eyes and think surprise
D
But I can see through what you think
D A D
Because I've got spirits tonight just like Hank
D A D
And I'm wild in the dirt just like Hank
D A D D7
I've been bruised up and cut just like Hank
G D Bm
I've got snakes in my dreams but I don't know what that means
D
But it's all just more reason to drink
D A D
Lord I've got spirits tonight just like Hank
Chorus-
G D
Well they stripped him of place and time
G A
Yeah they stripped him of body and mind
D A D
I've got Hell staring at me just like Hank
D A D
I'm still a long gone daddy just like old Hank
G D Bm
I've got a girl on each arm and a real mojo charm
D
And it should be enough but it ain't
D A D
I've got a big hole right through me just like Hank

Chorus-
G D
Well they stripped him of place and time
G A
Yeah they stripped him of body and mind
D A D
Well I'll tell you the truth just like Hank
D A D
That I was born with these blues just like Hank
G D Bm
And so I'll sing these sad tunes and howl at the moon
D
And I'll play this old box till I just can't
D A D G
Cause I ain't fooling around just like Hank
D A D G D
I ain't fooling around just like Hank
