There was a brand new stranger at the old bus station
|
He said Music City is my destination
|
He said The whole wide world? gonna sing my song
|
And you can take that to the bank
|
|
I? on a mission
|
I? on a mission
|
I? on a mission from Hank
|
|
He got a furnished room and a job at the market
|
He kept a little notebook in his back pocket
|
And every time you? see him he was writing a song
|
And he would never leave one piece blank (he? say)
|
|
I? on a mission
|
I? on a mission
|
I? on a mission from Hank
|
|
He sang when no one would listen
|
So he sang until they hung on every word
|
|
Ah then one day his phone started ringing
|
They said we want you and the songs you?e been singing
|
And the kid said fine, just give me some time
|
To talk to my patron saint (you see)
|
|
I? on a mission
|
I? on a mission
|
I? on a mission from Hank
|
|
(Yes sir,) That night as he laid in the darkness
|
Ol?Luke the drifter came to him and said
|
|
Oh now here? your chance boy go on and take it
|
You sing from the heart and you?e gonna make it
|
But if anybody tries to change you
|
Into something that you ain? (you tell ?m)
|
|
I? on a mission
|
I? on a mission
|
I? on a mission from Hank
|
|
I? on a mission
|
I? on a mission
|
I? on a mission from Hank
