Hank Williams Blues Lyrics

You don't have to grow up poor
On that red clay 'Bama land
Or ride that old 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

You might go see a doctor
Or even talk to a shrink
End up poppin' some little pills
And a-chasin' 'em with a drink


If the answers still go round and round
And don't leave any clues
You might have the Hank Williams blues

Lord, when you got 'em
You know by the pain
You're hittin' on rock bottom
Out in the pourin' rain
Caught between everything
Nothing left to lose
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 the first case of the hank Williams blues

Lord, when you got 'em
You know by the pain
You're hittin' on rock bottom
Out in the pourin' rain
Caught between everything
Nothing's left to lose
You might have the Hank Williams blues

Caught between everything
With nothing left to lose
Lord, I've got the Hank Williams blues

(Blues, Hank Williams blues)
(Blues, Hank Williams blues)
(Blues, Hank Williams blues)
(Blues, Hank Williams blues)
