A monster hit for Thompson, and one that he simply owns. No one else can pull it off, and few would try.

"Way down yonder in the Indian Nation, a cowboy's life is my occupation" is one of the classic hooks.

I would love to go through the Oklahoma hills and Indian reservations but there would be too many casinos.

That's my story, really. I grew up in Northeastern Oklahoma in the Cherokee Nation ... and I rode my pony there. I got married while stationed in Korea the first time. My wife and I have been married almost 30 years, we have 3 fantastic kids, have lived in 4 different countries including China even, are now on our 20th address today, and we're living in Busan, Korea.But my roots are in Oklahoma. What a ride this farm boy from Cherokee country has had, but despite living in a city of 4 million halfway around the world, when I think of who I am, I always think of myself as a farm boy from Oklahoma ... despite the many pages of life that have turned.Many months have come and goneSince I wandered from my homeIn those Oklahoma hills where I was bornMany a page of life has turnedMany a lesson I have learnedYet I feel like in those hills I still belong

Simply one of the all-time great country singers--go to Amazon.com and buy his "Live" At Golden Nugget. A great 'live' album...you can hear the slots, the bartender, (the drunks) but most of all, you hear Hank in his 1960 best. Fred Vail, Treasure Isle, Music City, USA.

Hank is one of the few very great authentic Texas country-western performers and Hall of Famer! His entire collection of songs and the new Bear Family Album are a collectors dream.
