Leave Them Boys Alone

Now they say Hank Jr. has strayed away

Of all them, songs that put his daddy in an early grave

But his daddy would be proud if he could see Bocephus now

Why don't you leave that boy alone, let him sing his song?

Ol' Waylon has been known to play half-time

And he been known to get out of his mind

Don't know whether he's right or wrong

He's got a string of hits about two miles long

Why don't you leave that boy alone and let him sing his song?

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their songs?

You know they're gonna do whatever they want

If you don't like the way they sing, who's gonna cast the first stone?

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song?

Hank Williams was the king of country soul

My daddy took me to see him in Lubbock, but he didn't show

Now the people got mad and they all went home

The first thing we did was put his records on

I guess we should've left him alone and let him sing his song

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their songs?

You know they're gonna do whatever they want

If you don't like the way they sing (one more time, Ernest), who's gonna cast the first stone?

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song?

Why don't you leave them boys alone, let 'em sing their song?
