Steve Earle(born January 17, 1955) is a singer-songwriterbest known for his countrymusic and rock 'n roll tinged " alt-country." He is also a published writer, a keen political activist (particularly in protesting against the death penalty in the U.S., as in his song "Ellis Unit One" from the movie Dead Man Walking), and has written and directed a play. Born in Hampton, Virginia, legend has it that a box of Texas dirt, sent by his grandfather, was brought into the delivery room, so that it could be said that the first soil Earle's feet ever touched was Texan. He moved around the U.S. with his parents, before dropping out of school in the 8th grade and heading to Houston, Texas, to explore a career in music. In 1975, he moved to Nashville and worked as a songwriter.

Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way? Lyrics
Steve Earle
Its the same old tune,fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here
Rhinestone suits and new shiney cars
Weve been the same way for years
We need to change
Somebody told me when I got to nashville
Son you finally got it made
Old hank made it here, were sure that you will
But I dont think hank done it this way
I dont think hank done it this way
Ten years down the road, making one night stands
Speeding my young life away
Tell me one more time just so I understand
Are you sure hank done it this way
Did ol hank really do it this way?
Ive seen the world with a five piece band
Looking at the back side of me
Singing my songs and one of his now and then
But I dont think hank done it this way
No I dont think hank done it this way.
