Walkin' In Hank Williams Shoes

There's never been a country song
Like the songs Hank Williams played
And that's why I guess
I still sing those songs
Of Hank Williams to this day
The words that Hank put to his pen
Made us feel like we were all his friends
Lost love and blues I listened to
It felt like I was walking
In Hank Williams shoes

Romance would always play a part
Even though it was a cheating heart
Singing blues in some old honkytonk
Just singing bout those broken dreams
Every time I put Hank's records on
I felt like I lived his life too
You never feel like you're the special kind
When you're walking
In Hank Williams shoes

Now as I travel with my country band
Sometimes I think somehow I see
That the things Hank sang and wrote about
Were written especially for me
And Hank sang about the common man
The way of life that some men choose
And tonight that's why I understand
Why I'm walking in Hank Williams shoes

Singing songs of love and homesick blues
Yes I'm walking in Hank Williams shoes
