Farce the Music

Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?

(Parody of the song of the same title)

It's the same autotune, electric guitars

Some people says it's not fair

Play these songs that ain't fit for bars

With all this gel in my hair

For no small change

My cousin told me I should go to Nashville

You can really sing a hook

Old Hank made it here, nobody sings like that still

And I don't think Hank had your cool look

I don't think Hank done it this way

Ten years down the road, playing arena shows

Screeching my vocal cords away

One more platinum plaque and nobody understands

Are you sure Hank done it this way

Did Ol' Hank really do it this way?

I've seen the world just me and my gang

God blessed the broken Music Row

Callin' my songs country when I know it's pretend

Cause I don't think Hank done 'em this a'way

No I don't think Hank done 'em this a'way

From his excellent (welcome back, RA!) new album Ashes and Fire due October 11th, here's Ryan Adams with "I Love You But I Don't Know What to Say."

From his awesome new album Number Seven (get it!), here's Will Hoge with "Goddam California."

These guys can't even misspell their name correctly. Enjoy!
