lyrics

Good bye Hank Williams, my friend
I didn't know you
But i've been in places you've been

In Richmond where he'd just been
For some seats could not be found
But they planned to see him again
Next time Hank Williams was in town

Hardly nobody knew that night how soon they'd be crying
Hardly nobody knew that night Hank Williams was dieing

He sang from his heart
Took the pain for his fans
We watched the pain in his heart
And they sang and then they clapped their hands

Good bye Hank Williams, my friend
I didn't know you
But i've been the places you've been

Whiskey took the heartbreak
From too many broken dreams
What pain wasn't taken by whiskey
was taken by too much morphine

Good bye Hank Williams, my friend
I didn't know you
But i've been the places you've been

The chauffeur steered the car that night
To the town next in line for the show
With his name and the date in lights
And people with tickets to go

Hardly nobody knew that night how soon they'd be crying
Hardly nobody knew that night Hank Williams was dieing

Good bye Hank Williams, my friend
I didn't know you
But i've been the places you've been
