hank williams syndrome

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

and 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 me

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

and 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 me

but the hank williams syndrome is dead
