Here’s To Hank

Once lived a man that was an inspiration to country music to the entire nation
I used his songs to learn upon there's many friends to thank
Like Ernest Tubb or George D Hay Wes Rose and here's to Hank
I used to sit around at night with my old beat up guitar
And I'd wonder how it felt to be a country music singing star
I've heard Hank Williams many times till I learned his songs by heart
They've my start got me jobs when I was broke and that helped me to get my start
As God looks down on me I hope that he's pleased I've worked so hard
Yes it's true a man can sleep at night that has worked until he's tired
Success is smilin' down on my head and to all my sincere thanks
ET Wes Rose and George D Hay he's gone but here's to Hank
