Keen Robert Earl - The Great Hank - Sözleri

Then there was the time 


I saw the great Hank Williams singing on the stage in Philadelphia, 


Pennsylvania and he was all dressed up in drag


From his rose red lips to his rhinestone hips he belted 


out song after song as he drank from a brown paper bag


And the songs he sang of love and pain, 


so pure perfect reflections of human imperfections, 


it damn near choked me up


But the rest of the show, was kind of slow


And then someone woke me up





Later on the Astros were silently beating the living crap 


out of Cincinnati on the TV above 


and a little to the left of the great Hank Williams' head


As a busty suicide blonde waitress poured him a double shot of 'whatever you got' 


and laughingly said "I thought you were dead"


The pool balls cracked as he tilted his head back 


and told her how he had been a big star but now country music was full of freaks


He sat there, in the TV glare


Mascara streaked his cheeks





When I was only sixteen years old I went from Houston to Abilene 


with a spunky stunningly handsome woman in a Volkswagen Bug


She was grown with some kids all her own, 


a committment-free divorcee, and I was a man in love


We had only one 8-track tape but it was of the late great 


Hank Williams and we sang in two-part harmony


"Hey good lookin', how's about cookin'


Something up with me"





Back at the bar they were calling last call 


so I gave the barmaid a credit card to pay up my tab


The TV was turned off and the stage was dark 


and the great Hank Williams was gone so I asked her to call me a cab


She said if you like I can give you a ride, 


so there we were out the door and into the city of brotherly love


Into the night, out of sight


In a VW Bug
