Hank always tells the truth it seems
That's right, you're not pretty enough
Not smart enough too believing the dreams
He "thinks I've been cryin' since he's been gone
Well I'm gonna give him a good leavin' alone
"

Yeah, truth hurts it always does
But delivery is key, gotta give some tact
Never know when you need them to have your back
"I just don't like this kind of livin', I'm tired of doin' all the givin'
I just don't like the things you're doin'
Your evil heart will be your ruin
"

I'm the fool dressed in naivety
Believing promise of longevity
"I believed the lies you told me, when you whispered dear I worship thee"

Should have made yourself known
Long before we started this show
But maybe karma will get you soon
Take that hot air out your balloon

And I hope you "just can't seem to take it anymore
You feel empty walking through a swinging door
Seeing all the lonely people just staring at the band
Wrapped inside the feelings
Playing one night stands
"

And dear I wish I could
I really know I should
*"But the toughest thing, I ever gave up was today
'Cause old habits like you, are hard to break"
Ok, (") are lyrics from Hank Williams Jr songs
Order of appearance as such
"Good Leavin' Alone"
"I Just Don't Like This Kind of Livin'"
"May You Never Be Alone"
"One Night Stands"
"Old Habits"
Dual meaning behind Hank....we all have one...
