I'm Not Sure I Want To Change My Ways Poem by James Jennings

I've spent years being free to do what I want
Running around with the rowdy crowd
Drinking and staying out all night
There's been some outlaw women and some good hearted kind
Some ladies love outlaws and some can't stand our ways

I'm not sure I want to change my ways
Sometimes I just want to sit back with a cigar
Relax with a bottle of Jack Daniel's with my friends
They still tell me about Mama and the drugs she used
My granddaddy got famous for being drunk on stage
I guess that's the blood that runs through my veins

The lovesick blues sure done something to me
Getting whiskey bent and hell bound is still fun
Staying out all night with some good looking woman
Making love and getting drunk is something I can still do

I guess I'm changing for the better or for the worse
I found me a good woman who brings out the best in me
Sometimes though I just want to be like Hank Williams
Run wild and act like Jesse James
Tear through these towns robbing banks with my gun
Being a wanted man on the run for things I've done

I've been to the top of the world and then hit the ground
Hit rock bottom and lost everything
Almost got killed when I destroyed my car
I learned from Johnny Cash about getting clean
John and June's been good influences on me
I've sang with Waylon and picked guitar with Johnny Cash
Got lessons from Hank after my big day on stage
