Little Hank

I was raised in the Bible belt, strictly by the book
Mom and Daddy kept a real close eye on every step I took
I was told right from wrong in the eyes of society
But one day I sat Daddy down
Said you know, it just seems to me
That all these things that we look down on
Hell, to me just ain't all wrong

What's wrong with a little Hank?
What's wrong with a couple drinks?
What's wrong with going mudriding in my truck?
Just as long as we don't get stuck
What's wrong with a long night?
What's wrong with a bar fight?
What's wrong with skipping class
Even if it's just to catch a bass?
What's wrong with driving fast, if I buckle up?
What's wrong with talking trash if I knuckle up?
What's wrong with causing a little bit of ruckus
If I make it to Sunday service?
It's the way I wanna live my life
And my country bloodlines, I think
What's wrong with a little Hank?

I said, Daddy, can't you remember being my age?
He said, let me tell you, son, seems like just yesterday
That your grandpa sat me down
And tried his best to straighten me out
He said, let me tell you, son
I'll tell you what life is all about
Don't tell your mama
But it's all right to have a little fun
I remember back in '65
And all the crazy things I've done

There's nothing wrong with a little Hank
There's nothing wrong with a couple drinks
There's nothing wrong with spinning tires
There's nothing wrong with lighting bonfires
There's nothing wrong with a little smoke
There's nothing wrong with country folk
There's nothing with getting stoned every now and then
As long as you know how to say when
There's nothing wrong with sitting 'round with your buddies
Sipping on something in a mason jar
Nothing wrong with getting cuddled up with a pretty young thing
It's the way you ought to live your life, boy
And your country bloodlines, I think
There's nothing wrong with a little Hank

Who makes the rules of right and wrong?
What if I want to live my life like an old Bocephus song?

There's nothing wrong with a little Hank
There's nothing wrong with a couple drinks
There's nothing wrong with causing a little bit of ruckus
If you make it to Sunday service
It's the way I wanna live my life
And my country bloodlines, I think
There's nothing wrong with a little Hank
There's nothing wrong with a little Hank
