The Last Ride Page #7

came to town

"I Love Lucy" debuted on TV

That was one big event

we didn't see

'Cause no one stayed at home

for miles around

it was the night

Hank Williams came to town

Momma ironed my shirt and

Daddy let me take the truck

I drove on out to Grapevine

and picked old Mavis up

We hit that county line

for one quick round

On the night

Hank Williams came to town

A thousand people

sweltered in the gym

Then I heard someone whisper,

"Hey, that's him"

That's when the crowd

let out this deafening sound

it was the night

Hank Williams came to town

On and on,

he sang into the night

"Jambalaya," "Cheatin' Heart"

"I Saw the Light"

And how'd they get

Miss Audrey in that gown

on the night Hank Williams

came to town?

Remember,

friends and neighbors,

Hank Williams and

all the Driftin' Cowboys...

You don't have to come up poor

on that red clay 'Bama land

Or ride that o!' lost highway

with a guitar in your hand

But if you have a heartache

that won't let go of you

you might have

the Hank Williams Blues

Hank was only human

just like me and you

Ridin' in the back of

that Cadillac in 1952

No one knows for certain

but I believe it's true

He had a bad case

of the Hank Williams Blues

Lord, when you got 'em

You know by the pain

You're hittin' on rock bottom

out in that pouring rain

Caught between everything

Nothin' left to lose

Lord, you've got

the Hank Williams Blues

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

Young turns to old

like steel turns to rust

And it comes just

a little bit quicker

when you're

livin' the fast life

The trail you're taking today

Well, it could be

your last ride

Sooner or later,

you meet your maker

He's awaitin'

somewhere down the line

It ain't that far

from your first breath

till you say your last goodbye

Well, a cowboy

never mounts his horse

on the good Lord's bad side

'Cause the trail

you're takin' today

Well, it could be

your last ride
