Hank
Where I grew up; Texas
Country music is king
Three songs for a quarter
And the Juke Box would sing
When it’s Saturday night
It’s Grand Old Opry time
Turn the radio on
Grab a chair and recline
Hank was the top singer
His songs came from the heart
So much great music lost
Because his life was short
No other then or since
Composed song after song
Could sing and record them
Each a hit before long
His music inspired
Learned a Uke; then Guitar
To play and sing like Hank
His music took me far
Now I have my own band
Bluegrass most of the time
Still play one of Hanks songs
They always sound so fine
I still love his music
Play and sing all his hits
Thank you Hank Williams
You’re as good as it gets
