Hank Williams Jr - The American Way Lyrics

Artist: Hank Williams Jr

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Country

  • Songwriters: Hank (jr) Williams

If you fly in from Birmingham you'll get the last gate
If you blew in from Boston, no, you sure won't have to wait
And I'm learning a little more every day about the power of the dollar
And the people with white collars, and the good old American way

I've noticed I don't get much help when they see my blue jeans
Some slick with a suit walks up, ‽Oh, can I help you please?"
Yes, I'm learning, as I gain a little age, about the power of the dollar
And the people with white collars, and the good old American way

Some high society lady says, "Is your horse outside?"
‽No, ma'am he's between my legs but you're too fat to ride"
And you're learning, a little more about my ways
And what I think about your dollar, and your white collar
And your good old American way

If you don't like my Nudie boots, I'm sorry about that
Don't make fun of my hat, too, or you might get knocked flat
And you'll learn some more if you ever pass down our way
About the folks without the dollars and without white collars
Hell, l they are the American way
