Hank Songtext
von Whiskey Myers

My first record was the pressure is on
Ain′t it funny how your life can change with a song
That's the first time i ever heard
Country boy can survive
Now i got a guitar and a li′l band, i live hard, i live fast
Just like the man
Because you can't just say it,
It's got to be part of your life
Guess i′m finally whiskey bent now and hell bound
Because i been low but i ain′t ever been this far down


I need a backroad somewhere deep in the pines
Spinning my wheels until the sun shines
Because i'm back at the bottom
And i ain′t got nothing to lose
Yea i've prayed to the lord i′ve struggled and strived
I will never get out of this world alive
So hank won't ya help me, because i′m low down
And singing the blues

I almost od'd in denver just the other night
I was high in the rockies on a 13-hour flight
Trying to get home to my country state of mind
Now these blues, they come and go just like the rain
I need a li'l more help to ease the pain
Mister weatherman won′t you push these clouds away
But leave me alone because i′m singin' all damn night
There′s a tear in my beer, guess i finally know why
