Hell-bound and the whiskey tasting better…
Hell-bound I am and the whiskey tasting better….
Once saintly man found sin, whiskey and the drinking songs. He and Hank William Jr. sing nightly in Belton, Texas together. The one-handed bartender make his drinks strong and always a smile, and a joke to be told.
Once Michigan boy fell in love with Texas. Now he wear the cowboy hat and he Texas two-steps with the pretty Texas gals. He love the Texas girls. Tall, long and dangerous. They don’t lie and they love to drink, dance and make love.
Once he sought Jesus and he saw war. War taught him often. God isn’t watching us no-more. The tomfoolery of men had stole the kindness of men hearts and their eyes.
Now he knows. He had a good life. Money for the whiskey, the kindness of the Texas gals and the taverns are open seven days a week.
He been a soldier for along time and he had learn. Damn wars will never stop. Fat and greedy men run our world. He told Pete, the one-arm bartender who make the best drinks in Texas. One more Long Island ice tea my friend.
Beautiful Emily and her daughter come to me. They make me smile with their beautiful Texas smiles. They asked me. Are you dancing or drinking tonight? I told them. I will be dancing with the prettiest gals in Texas tonight.
Emily kissed my forehead and she whispered. Johnnie, you will be okay. I am with you my dear friend.

His music and the subject of your post reminds me of my late father in his younger years. ❤️

I was lucky. I saw Hank William Jr. Three times in Austin, Texas. He was as wild as his song. He would play for four hours and no-one complained. Hank and Willie was the song of the wild men. Hello dear Michele. Thank you for reading and the comment.

I have seen Willie a few times, once at San Diego State University. We were there for my daughter’s band camp and were lucky to stumble on a concert. 🎶 A great show! His sons are equally talented. You are welcome!
