Hank and Lefty

Daddy had a 1949 ford

When I was just about ten years old

We would listen to Hank and Lefty on the radio

''Why Don't You Love Like You Used to Do?''

And ''Just Look What Thoughts Will Do.''

Old Hank and Lefty raised my country soul.



Chours:

Now I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes

Listin to Hank sing the ''Lovesick Blues.''

We never met Ol' Hank but we was awful close

Cut my teeth on ''Always Late.''

And ''I Love You a Thousand Ways.''

Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul.

Daddy said the hair on his neck would crawl

When old Hank sang about the light he saw

Hank sure put a whole lot of heart in the songs he wrote

Everytime daddy got a little bit tight

''Mom and Dad's Waltz'' would make him cry

Old Hank and Lefty raised my country soul.



Chours:

Now I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes

Listin to Hank sing the ''Lovesick Blues.''

We never met Ol' Hank but we was awful close

Cut my teeth on ''Always Late.''

And ''I Love You a Thousand Ways.''

Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul.



Old Hank and Lefty raised my country soul.

Old Hank and Lefty raised my country soul...
