Lord, it’s the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here?
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars
It’s been the same way for years
We need a change
Somebody told me, when I came to Nashville
Son, you finally got it made
Old Hank made it here and we’re all sure that you will
But I don’t think Hank done it this way
No, I don’t think Hank done it this way
Ten years on the road, makin’ one night stands
Speedin’ my young life away
Tell me one more time just so’s I’ll understand
Are your sure Hank done it this way?
Did old Hank really do it this way?
Lord, I’ve seen the world, with a five piece band
Looking at the back side of me
Singing my songs and one of his now and then
But I don’t think Hank done ’em this way
I don’t think Hank done it this way
Take it home
