Then there was the I saw the great Hank Williams on the stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and he was all dressed up in his rose red lips to his rhinestone hips he belted out song after song as he drank from a brown bag And the songs he of love and pain, so pure perfect reflections of imperfections, it near choked me up But the of the show, was kind of slow And then woke me up
Later on the Astros were beating the living crap out of on the TV above and a little to the left of the Hank Williams' head As a busty blonde waitress poured him a double shot of 'whatever you got' and laughingly said "I you were dead" The pool balls cracked as he tilted his head and told her how he had been a big star but now country music was of freaks He sat there, in the TV Mascara his cheeks
When I was only years old I went from Houston to Abilene with a stunningly handsome woman in a Volkswagen Bug She was grown with some all her own, a committment-free divorcee, and I was a man in We had only one 8-track tape but it was of the late Hank Williams and we in two-part harmony "Hey good lookin', how's about up with me"
Back at the bar they were calling last so I gave the barmaid a card to pay up my tab The TV was turned off and the stage was and the great Hank was gone so I asked her to call me a cab She if you like I can give you a ride, so there we were out the door and into the of brotherly love the night, out of sight In a VW Bug
