On a warm night in June, 1949, with his first number one record spilling out of radios across the country, a frail young man walked onto the stage of Nashville's Ryman Auditorium for his Grand Ole Opry debut. Behind him lay nearly a decade of struggle and rejection in pursuit of this goal; ahead, a little more than five years in the limelight. By 1953, literally worn out at twenty-nine, Hank Williams was gone. But he had given country music much of its standard repertoire, a new definition of stardom and a legend so enduring that he is still the model for countless singers and songwriters. Born in Mount Olive West, Alabama (near Georgiana) on September 17th, 1923, Hiriam was the second child of Lon and Lillie Williams.

I Just Don’t Like This Kind Of Livin’ Lyrics
Hank Williams
Written and recorded by: hank williams, sr.
[d] I just dont like this kind of livin
Im tired of doin all the [a7] givin
I [d] give my all and [d7] sit and yearn
And [g] get no lovin [g7] in return
And I [d] just dont [a7] like this kind of [d] livin.
Why [g7] do we stay together
We al-[d] ways fuss and fight
[g7] you aint never known to be wrong
And [d] I aint never been [a7] right;
[d] tell me where you think were goin
cause I aint got no way of [a7] knowin
When [d] things go wrong, you [d7] go your way
You [g] leave me here, to [g7] pay and pay
And [d] I just dont [a7] like this kind of [d] livin.
I just dont like the things youre doin
Your evil heart will be your ruin
When things start runnin smooth and free
You haul right off and you pick on me
And I just dont like this way of livin.
They say the road of love is long
Its rocky and its rough
But if this road dont start to get smooth
Ive traveled it long enough;
Why dont you act a little older
And get that chip off of your shoulder
Ive told you once, now Ill tell you twice
You better start to treat me nice
cause I just dont like this way of livin.
