Hank Williams Syndrome

(Waylon Jennings)



Ramblin' about down through the south

I find things are a changing a lot

Especially me, it's easy to see

Montgomery's still hot and I'm not.



I stopped by today at Hank Williams's grave

My hero from the days of my youth

Was that him or me that I used to be

In the times when I searched for the truth.



Hank you were my inspiration

I was obsessed with your ways

But to tell you the truth it's no thanks to you

That I'm still living today.



Hank, I still love your music

And in spite of the things I've just said

You'll always be a hero to but

But the Hank Williams syndrome is dead.



The new hats are here and it's increasingly clear

Our day is slipping on by

They're not like me and you but that's alright too

They could keep the music alive.



Hank you were my inspiration

I was obsessed with your ways

But to tell you the truth it's no thanks to you

That I'm still living today...
