My Name Is Bocephus Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just came in here to have some whiskey and beer and to say howdy to you all
Now you all know me, this is Hank Jr., you see
Hat and shade beard and all
Now I have heard, mmm hmm, I've gotten the word
About all these silly imposters running 'round
Let me tell you something now they ain't real, they ain't got no scars
They ain't got no feel. Why they don't know nothing about whiskey bent and hell bound
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm looking for a lover and 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 don't ever ever get it
Thank God I'm a guitar man
And its true I love the money
And its true I love all the honeys
But the thing I really love is to get down with the band
[Verse 2]
Not everybody loves me but those that do will fight
Right to the end they're guitar friends from legendary Saturday nights
I learned something from Lynyrd Skynyrd, from my Daddy and Ernest Tubb too
I do country-rock, I do blues
I just came in here to have some whiskey and beer and to say howdy to you all
Now you all know me, this is Hank Jr., you see
Hat and shade beard and all
Now I have heard, mmm hmm, I've gotten the word
About all these silly imposters running 'round
Let me tell you something now they ain't real, they ain't got no scars
They ain't got no feel. Why they don't know nothing about whiskey bent and hell bound
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm looking for a lover and 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 don't ever ever get it
Thank God I'm a guitar man
And its true I love the money
And its true I love all the honeys
But the thing I really love is to get down with the band
[Verse 2]
Not everybody loves me but those that do will fight
Right to the end they're guitar friends from legendary Saturday nights
I learned something from Lynyrd Skynyrd, from my Daddy and Ernest Tubb too
I do country-rock, I do blues
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm looking for a lover and 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 don't ever ever get it
Thank God I'm a guitar man
And its true I love the money
And its true I love all the honeys
But the thing I really love is to get down with the band
[Outro]
Oh boy, ain't no rookies on this record
I say my name is
B-O-C-E-P-H-U-S
Now I'm looking for a lover and 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 don't ever ever get it
Thank God I'm a guitar man
And its true I love the money
And its true I love all the honeys
But the thing I really love is to get down with the band
[Outro]
Oh boy, ain't no rookies on this record
I say my name is
B-O-C-E-P-H-U-S
