Lyrics

I just came in here to have some whiskey and beer
And to say howdy to you all
Now you all know me, this is Hank Williams, Jr. you see
Hat and shade beard and all
Now I have heard, uh-huh, I've gotten' the word
About all these silly imposters running 'round
Let me tell you something now, they ain't real
They ain't got no scars, they ain't got no feel
Why they don't know nothing about whiskey bent and hell bound?
Now I'm looking for a lover, and I'm looking for some fun
My name is Bocephus, I'm a son of a gun
Some of us are born with it, some of us don't ever, ever get it
Thank God, I'm a guitar man
And it's true I love the money, and it's true I love all the honeys
But the thing I really love is to get down with the band
Not everybody loves me, but those that do will fight
Right to the end, they're guitar friends from legendary Saturday nights
I learned something from Lynyrd Skynyrd
From my daddy and Ernest Tubb too
I do country-rock, I do blues
Now I'm looking for a lover, and I'm going to have some fun
Oh, my name is Bocephus, 'ell, I'm a son of a gun
Some of us are born with it, some of 'em don't ever, ever get it
Thank God, I'm a guitar man
Oh, it's true, I love the money and I really, really love the honeys
But the thing I really love is to get down with the band
Oh, boy
Ain't no rookies on this record
I say my name is B-O-C-E-P-H-U-S
Oh, yeah
