Hank Williams

You think country music’s so corny Well each to their own tastes and views Give me a cool stein full of Charlie Mit With Hank Williams singing the blues And I’ll paint you stories of life Of joys desires betrayals of trust And with its many and varied faces The pleasures and pains of pure lust Me and Hank travel this world together He’s always been there in my head For those past fifty years at least He’ll be there to the day that I’m dead We’ve lived those lovesick blues Both set the woods on fire with joys And in spite of distance and nations We’re just a pair of ol’ country boys Oh I did all that bit with the bottle Saw parts of my life through a glass Somehow I am here at the other side All things in time come to pass And Hank is still there with me Take these chains is playing now Step out from the shadows Hank And take a much deserved bow I couldn’t have lived it without you Your music helped me survive Here’s to you in Charlie Mit Because Hank, I’m still alive
