Then there was the I saw the great Hank Williams on the stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and he was all up in drag 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 damn near me up But the rest of the show, was of slow And then someone me up
Later on the Astros silently beating the living crap out of on the TV above and a little to the left of the Hank Williams' head As a busty suicide 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 to Abilene with a spunky stunningly woman in a Volkswagen Bug She was grown with kids all her own, a divorcee, and I was a man in love We had only one 8-track but it was of the late great Hank Williams and we sang in harmony "Hey good lookin', how's about up with me"
Back at the bar they were last call so I gave the a credit card to pay up my tab The TV was turned off and the was dark and the great Hank was gone so I asked her to call me a cab She said if you like I can 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
