[Verse 1] I pulled into Nashville writin songs for the radio But chasin a sound didnt work, I had to stick to what I know And then I asked myself, What would Hank do? Hed say, In with the old and out with the new [Chorus] Hed shoot you straight like his whiskey Put pedal steel on everything Write a song with three chords and the truth Make you believe it when he sings Like hes talkin straight to you Thats what Hank would do [Verse 2] Hed spend a lot less time talkin, a whole lot more waiting around Cut a stonecold county record thatll live forever Thatll stand the test of time And hed tell ya a story or two About the Stones That You Throw and Lovesick Blues [Chorus] Hed shoot you straight like his whiskey Put pedal steel on everything Write a song with three chords and the truth Make you believe it when he sings Like hes talkin straight to you Oh thats what Hank would do [Instrumental] [Chorus] Hed shoot you straight like his whiskey Put pedal steel on everything Write a song with three chords and the truth Make you believe it when he sings Like hes talkin straight to you Thats what Hank would do Thats what he would do Thats what Hank would do
