My Name Is Bocephus [Live] Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just came in here
To have some whiskey and beer
And to say howdy to you all
You all know me
It's Hank Jr., you see
Hat and shade, beard and all
[Verse 2]
Now I have heard
I’ve gotten word
About all these stupid-ass imposters running around
Tell you something now, they ain't real
They ain't got no scars, they ain’t got no feel
They can't cut no guitar on whiskey bent and hell bound
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm looking for a lover
I'm looking for some fun
My name is Bocephus
I'm a son of a gun
[Chorus]
Some of us are born with it, some of us never get it
Thank God I'm a guitar man
True, I love the money, true, I love thе honeys
The thing I really lovе is to get down with the band
I just came in here
To have some whiskey and beer
And to say howdy to you all
You all know me
It's Hank Jr., you see
Hat and shade, beard and all
[Verse 2]
Now I have heard
I’ve gotten word
About all these stupid-ass imposters running around
Tell you something now, they ain't real
They ain't got no scars, they ain’t got no feel
They can't cut no guitar on whiskey bent and hell bound
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm looking for a lover
I'm looking for some fun
My name is Bocephus
I'm a son of a gun
[Chorus]
Some of us are born with it, some of us never get it
Thank God I'm a guitar man
True, I love the money, true, I love thе honeys
The thing I really lovе is to get down with the band
[Verse 3]
Not everybody loves me, those that do will fight
Right to the end, I got some guitar friends
From legendary Saturday nights
I learned something from Lynyrd Skynyrd, sugar
Daddy and Ernest Tubb too
This is a platinum boy that does the rock and roll country blues
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now I'm looking for a lover
Yeah, I'm looking for fun
My daddy called me Bocephus
Yeah, I’m a son of a gun
[Chorus]
Some are born with it, some don’t ever get it
Thank God I'm a guitar man
True, I love my money, true, I love the honeys
But you know me, I love to get down with the best band
Not everybody loves me, those that do will fight
Right to the end, I got some guitar friends
From legendary Saturday nights
I learned something from Lynyrd Skynyrd, sugar
Daddy and Ernest Tubb too
This is a platinum boy that does the rock and roll country blues
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now I'm looking for a lover
Yeah, I'm looking for fun
My daddy called me Bocephus
Yeah, I’m a son of a gun
[Chorus]
Some are born with it, some don’t ever get it
Thank God I'm a guitar man
True, I love my money, true, I love the honeys
But you know me, I love to get down with the best band
