Two Old Cats Like Us
Ray Charles & Hank Williams Jr. Lyrics

Hey I like to do a little rockin′
I enjoy playing rock music

Ray, I get a little rowdy myself
Hank's partner Ray can relate to his rowdiness

See if you can sing the high part brother
Hank requests Ray to sing the higher notes in harmony

Hank I can if you give me some help
Ray can sing the higher notes if given some guidance by Hank

Cause we're the kind if we set our mind we′re going
The two musicians are determined to succeed in their music

To do it or bust
They will either succeed or fail trying

Hey we ain't half bad for two old cats like us
They're proud of their musical talents despite their age

There ain't nothin′ like honky tonk music (now)
They both appreciate honky tonk music

When you get an itching to play
They feel the urge to play music

And singing those songs like Hey Good Lookin′
They enjoy singing classic songs like 'Hey Good Lookin''

And baby tell me what I say (that'll work)
They acknowledge that their music is effective

We can take it to the limit or take it to the bus
They're willing to give their all for their music

Ain′t no problem for two old cats like us
Their age doesn't deter them from creating great music

We've been down a whole lot of alleys
They've experienced many different situations

Shook a whole lot of cans
They've tried many different approaches to music

Ain′t too much prowlin' or howlin′ we don't understand
They've seen and done it all, and understand the industry

Had a few doors slammed on our tails
They've faced rejection and disappointment

We've been kissed and cussed
They've experienced the ups and downs of the music industry

But everything′s cool for two old cats like us
Despite everything, they're still happy and content with their music career

Now this younger generation Ray is keeping us on our toes
Hank and Ray are aware of the younger musicians and their music

Playing everything from western swing to that good ol′ rock and roll
The younger musicians play a variety of music genres

But here we are smacked down in the middle
Hank and Ray are in the midst of two generations of musicians

But I think we can adjust
They are willing to adapt to the changing music industry

Hell there ain't nothing new for two old cats like us
They've seen it all and can handle any changes in the music industry

Let′s go
They're ready to play music

Alright
They're excited to play
