"Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Waylon Jennings.

[3] The song was one of many major hits for Jennings, and became an anthem of the outlaw country movement, as well as the wider genre.

Although it never charted on its own, "Bob Wills ... " gained airplay and continues to be a staple at classic country radio stations.

The song pays homage to the influence of country music legend Hank Williams Sr. on the genre, and criticizes the glitz that had come to characterize top-selling country artists in the 1970s, through references to "rhinestone suits" and "new shiny cars"; as well as the stagnant, uninspired sound that resulted from the commercially-focused Nashville producers: "Lord it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar; Where do we take it from here?

"[4] The song's lyrics also refer to the recording industry's treatment of artists, which included relentless touring schedules leading to singers such as Jennings relying heavily on amphetamines and other drugs: "Ten years on the road making one night stands, speeding my young life away".
