Lyrics

Hank & The Boys Ed Bentley

We'd jump in our ole Chevy van, anytime they'd come around
Ray Price, Marty Robbins, or Conway gettin' down
And we all loved Johnny Cash, and the Tennessee two
But Hank could bring the teardrops, raining down on you

Chorus
Lets hear it for Hank and the boys, good music at it's best
Hank and the boys, ole Merle and all the rest
What's happened to the radio, and all that beautiful noise
Stand up & shout, lets hear it now, for Hank & the boys

We all loved Miss Dolly, and beautiful Connie Smith
Cant forget George and Tammy, and how they'd pack um in
We'd listen to the music, kick back and just unwind
They'd never leave the building, til every autograph was signed

Chorus
Lets hear it for Hank & the boys, lets not forget the girls
Patsy and Loretta, their music gave us chills
What's happened to the radio, & all that beautiful noise
Lets hear it now, stand up and shout, for Hank & the boys

Bridge
Don't forget how Jimmy Rogers, started everything
Ernest Tubb, Floyd or Lefty, Bob Wills & Texas Swing

Chorus
Lets hear for Hank & the boys, everybody stomp your feet
Waylon and Willie, Carl Perkins' had that beat
What's happened to the radio & all that beautiful noise
Lets hear it now, lets give it up, for Hank & the boys
Lets Hank it up, & lay it down, for Hank & the boys
Lets hear it now, stand up and shout, for Hank & the boys
