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
|
