Lyrics for Song: Standing in the Shadows
Lyrics for Album: Insight Into Hank Williams (w/Hank Jr.) [MGM] [1975]
I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate
Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can
After all I'm standing in the shadows of a very famous man.
As I travel around from town to town
I have a lot of dad's fans and friends come around
They say I know Hank would be proud
Of you if he were here today
Now well, we're all so glad
And we know he would be too
That you're carryin' on his music this way.
Yes, they say Hank was the all time great
And we know you'll be just as good as your dad
But I just smile and say there'll never be another Hank Williams friends
That's the part that always makes them sad.
Yes. I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate
Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can
It's hard standing in the shadows of a very famous man
So many times when I'm on that stage
I feel something go through me
And for a minute I'm in a different world
And that's when it does something to me
The people are a hollering and clapping real aloud
While I'm out they're taking my bows
I look up toward the ceiling and I say to myself
Listen dad, just listen to that crowd
But as the show goes on the people clap and holler more
I start singing another of your great songs
That's the time that I know although you're gone
Your music will live on and on and on...
