Williams Jr., Hank - Hamburger Steak, Holiday Inn Lyrics
Hamburger steak, Holiday Inn
That's the kinda world that I live in
Play a different town most every night
Lovin' your woman write a new song that's my life
There ain't nothin' else in the world above it
I see people all alone pickin' their guitars and singin' their songs
But I tell 'em forget it cause you can't fake it
If you're gonna make it you've gotta live it
I got a big bus with a TV and a bar
And a little room in the back for me and my ole guitar
Gotta stop and fuel up every five hundred miles
Give a picture to the waitress eat a little breakfast country style
There ain't nothin' else in the world above it
I see people all alone pickin' their guitars and singin' their songs
But I tell 'em forget it cause you can't fake it
If you're gonna make it you've gotta live it
We get home to Nashville on a Monday night
Record songs on Tuesday and on Wednesday take out the wife
But then on Thursday night it's back on the road
I don't care if it's Montana or down in Louisiana just as long as I go
That's my life and I love it that's my life
There ain't nothin' else in the world above it
I see people all alone pickin' their guitars and singin' their songs
But I tell 'em forget it cause you can't fake it
If you're gonna make it you've gotta live it

True Country Music
Classic
Vintage Bocephus
I don’t care what anyone says but Hank Jr is one hell of a songwriter. Why he’s not in the Country Music Hall of Fame is rediculous. Over paid cover singers like George strait, Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks n Luke Bryan don’t measure up to ole Bocrphus
I tell em forget cause if you gonna make it, you can't fake it, you gotta live it.
*BOCEPHUS 4 PRESIDENT* 🖒
In my book Hank Jr is the king of country music
Never gets old, and makes for a great supper lol
That's my life
Country music is very inpatient to me that my love
Some people don’t like country music well they can kiss my ass

Give a picture to the waitress eat a late breakfast country style!!! My favorite part of the song!!! Only Bocephus could write one like that!
Excellent Tune! Always a Legend..
Write about what ya know.. This was what he was doing; Great Tune
Hank has amazingly performed more songs than almost any other country singers! I still love me some Jones but hank is the man!!
Hank hit this theme one more time in his young career. In 1975, on the Hank Jr. and Friends album, Hank wrote "Brothers' of the Road". Although it has a more odd composition than this one that was sort of a product of it's time, which made it sort of Brady Kids sounding in a sense, it was likewise just as creative and original sounding as this one; but it adds another element this one doesn't have. In that tune, Hank not only shares with us what it's like to be on the road, going town to town, but also sort takes on the role of spokesman or a leadership position for all touring musical acts of all genres; and keep in mind, in 1975, he would have been 26 years old; he is only 22 or 23 here; just like his father, you wonder how such a young person could write such words that seem to come from a very experienced mind... "brothers of the road all share the same load" and it doesn't matter whether you're "rock or country, blues of funky". Hank was a great talent, but could have been more if he'd stayed more serious about his career and the product that he put out there, and if he had stayed with the things he did best and what his growing fan base wanted from him back in these days. Writing about his own plight, condition and overcoming the odds against him; writing that uplifts the south and rural America; writing to promote law, order, and justice and uncommercialized music; and singing with that wonderful voice he could produce when he really tried to do well with his own ballads and those written by others as well.
Awesome ole Bocephus
1972-"Eleven Roses" album. The title track, "eleven roses" went to number 1. It was his second number 1.
This song is technically what I rate as pre-rowdy even though it has alot of post-rowdiness sound to it. I rate pre-rowdy as everything HWJR did before the album "Hank Jr. and Friends" in 1976. Unlike many fans, I don't divide the two careers of Hank Jr pre and post the "fall in Montana", which was later in 1975, because technically he did the "Rowdy" kind of album, "Hank Jr. and Friends" before the Montana trip and before the bad accident. I feel like that if you examine his career and look at only the pre Rowdy music that Hank recorded from 1964-1974, that he would still be one of the best country male vocalists in history. Go back and listen to all those singles released and see if you agree? To me, especially from 1970-1974, they are really well sung songs even though many of them were covers or original songs not written by him. He still sang them much better than many of his contemporaries at the time.
Gregory Faulkner Bocephus is one of the best ever. He doesn't get the respect he deserves. He should be in the Country Hall of Fame. He was the biggest country act in the 80s hands down. I love all his music pre-rowdy and post-rowdy.
That chick on the cover is my ex wife. I miss that bitch. Ronda rode like a Cadillac. Such good pussy man. Fuck
He said in the beginning love a new woman... Thens says take oit the wife. Thats pretty fucked up
Well that was his "life"!

Listen up kiddies, this is country music. The stuff they feed you on the radio now is pop with a banjo or steel guitar thrown in to fool you.
yeah or a big flop like garth brooks
Edward Davis Garth Brooks ruined country music
Hell Yeah!
I'll say it, "SHIT".
oh look,. the first person to ever say this....
1:14 Gotta stop and fuel up!!
+typicalwebster Every 500 miles...
Love 1970's Hank Jr!
Doesn't get any better than this....
i love it
this is one of the songs that took hank a short time to put together but about 30 years in the in he business to make it one of his best. he is and always will be my favorite singer,song write, and guitarist. god bless hank Jr.
Special time in music. Bocephus brought the Allman Bro's, Marshall Tucker etc. into his music. Stayed country with an edge. Special time.
Muscle Shoals influenced!
I wish UMG would re-release all of Hank Jr's 1970's Albums on to CD before his fall off
Ajax Mountain,MT in Aug''75 with all original Album artwork and new liner notes.Some
