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