Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery had my guitar on my back When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac Now he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow-eyed Said, "It's a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son?"
Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio And them sad old songs comin' out of them Speakers was solid country gold Then I noticed the stranger was Ghost-white pale when he asked me for a light And I knew there was something strange about this ride
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing? Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues? Can you bend them, guitar strings?" He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside? 'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
Then he cried just south of Nashville and he turned that car around He said, "This is where you get off boy I'm goin' back to Alabam" As I stepped out of that Cadillac I said, "Mr., many thanks" He said, "You don't have to call me Mr., Mr. The whole world called me Hank
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing? Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues? Can you bend them, guitar strings?" He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside? 'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"

I used to spend my nights out In a bar room Liquor was the only love I'd known But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom Brought me back from being too far gone You're as smooth as Tennesee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of Brandy And I stay stoned on your love all the time I looked for love In all the same old places Found the bottom of the bottle's Always dry But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it Cause there's nothing like your love To get me high You're as smooth as Tennesee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of Brandy And I stay stoned on your love all the time I stay stoned on your love all the time
I like to play Hank Williams Jr. records just as loud as they will go I'm into Lynyrd Skynyrd The Allman Brothers and David Allan Coe I like Willie, Waylon, George, and Merle And a lot of ZZ Top They play country, soul, rock and roll I really like Kid Rock
Chorus And I'm a redneck A rock-n-roll son of the south I don't like no new wave disco bands around I'm gonna drink a couple dozen beers Go out and jam some gears I'm a long haired redneck rock-n-roll son of the south
I've got a 1965 Harley chopper It sure makes those women stare A dead flamingo wrapped around the cowboy hats I wear I can cuss I can fight I can spit I can belch I can raise all kinds of hell If you ride to live like I live to ride let me hear some rebel yells
Chorus And I'm a redneck A rock-n-roll son of the south I don't like no new wave disco bands around I'm gonna drink a couple dozen beers Go out and jam some gears I'm a long haired redneck rock-n-roll son of the south
I like my whiskey straight up Daqueri just makes me ill If someone touches my cowboy hat I get mad enough to kill I got a rifle rack in my pickup truck I'm a four wheelin' maniac And if you want to race name the place I'll show you where it's at mother fucker
Chorus And I'm a redneck A rock-n-roll son of the south I don't like no new wave disco bands around I'm gonna drink a couple dozen beers Go out and jam some gears I'm a long haired redneck rock-n-roll son of the south
I'm a long haired redneck rock-n-roll son of the south I'm a long haired redneck rock-n-roll son of the south
Why the day you were born, girl Your mom and I named you, Tanya Montana I just thought you should know
Your eyes were As blue as the skies of Montana Your skin was As white as fresh falling snow
Tanya Montana is some thing to see A dream that came true for your mother and me A small piece of Heaven on earth as they say But Tanya Montana is so far away
Why some day you're gonna grow up And you're gonna leave us, sweet Tanya And some man will steal you Some man's gonna steal you away, I know
But you know me and your momma Why we love you, Montana Lord, it's going to break our hearts When we see you go
Tanya Montana has been on my mind Like the eagles that fly above reaching the light Searching for freedom, you'll find it some day And then Tanya Montana will be so far away
They judge a boy by his friends And all a mine are trash They say you find your own level Well, I'm a snake in the grass
But I can't help the things I do I've always been attracted to
Cheap thrills, don't you know I like Cheap thrills, it's night after night Cheap thrills Well, if you ain't supposed to do it I will
I got a low reputation and and a bad attitude 'Cause all I want to do is something that I ain't supposed to do But I can't change the things I love I guess I'm just a victim of
Cheap thrills, don't you know I like Cheap thrills, it's night after night Cheap thrills Well, if you ain't supposed to do it I will
Cheap thrills, don't you know I like Cheap thrills, it's night after night Cheap thrills Well, if you ain't supposed to do it I will
Cheap thrills, whoa, you know I like Cheap thrills, whoa, night after night Cheap thrills, yes, yes, yes If you ain't supposed to do it I will
Now I lay me down to cheat On the woman I love so And if I die between these sheets I pray to God she'll never know
She's the best thing in this life Why she worships the ground that he walks on She waits up for him at night and worries Until he's safely home And she always believes his stories about working overtime And in 20 years beside him cheatins never crossed her mind
Aw but it crossed his Early last summer In a person of a neighbor that she still calls her friend And with a little push from drinkin one too many one night in the fall he gave in And now he wishes he could stop himself But theres no easy way So he lays down with his lover And silently he prays
Now I lay me down to cheat On the woman I love so And if I die between these sheets I pray to God she'll never know
In his heart and soul He knew he was playing a game he could never win But ya know, forbidden fruit is sweet Why it was sweet enough to make him risk it all again And now he's givin up on lookin for a way To fight the feeling So he prays this simple pray And hope it makes it past the hotel ceiling
Now I lay me down to cheat On the woman I love so And if I die between these sheets I pray to God she'll never know
If I give my love to you girl, will I get love in return? Or will I just get a fire, for as long as it will burn I'm not looking for a lover, I don't even want a friend I want this to last forever, and forever never ends
Don't tell me lies or hypnotize me with your eyes While saying that you need me If this is just a one night stand, I'd rather turn around and walk away Don't hold me in your arms and run your fingers through my hair If you don't love me If this is just a game, well honey I don't think I really care to play
I've trusted you before, babe and you always let me down I came back to you believing, I was more than just a clown You say it will be different, this time your love is real Honey don't make me believe you, if that ain't the way you feel
Don't tell me lies or hypnotize me with your eyes While saying that you need me If this is just a one night stand, I'd rather turn around and walk away Don't hold me in your arms and run your fingers through my hair If you don't love me If this is just a game, well honey I don't think I really care to play
Don't tell me lies or hypnotize me with your eyes While saying that you need me If this is just a one night stand, I'd rather turn around and walk away Don't hold me in your arms and run your fingers through my hair If you don't love me
> Lately I've been thinking too much lately I've been staying kinda stoned Maybe I need someone who can make me feel Like I'm not making it alone Lately you've been colder than the weather Whether love was right or love was wrong Once you told me there was no one better Now you say you're better off alone Yesterday has ran into tomorrow Wrecking every dream we've ever known Even though we're lying here together in this bed I believe we're laying here alone Lately I've been drivin' myself crazy lately This old house ain't been no home I thought you were something to hold on to When I could not make it on my own Lately you've been more than I can handle lately I can't handle being stoned Maybe I need someone who can make me feel Like I'm not making it alone Yesterday has ran into tomorrow Wrecking every dream we've ever known Even though we're lying here together in this bed I believe we're laying here alone Lately I've been thinking too much lately
> They say The Beatles were Just the beginning of Everything music could be Just like The Stones I was rolling along Like a ship lost Out on the sea And Joplin would die For the future And Dylan would write poetry And in Texas the talk Turned to Outlaws Like Willie and Waylon and me Hey, well that they say Texas music is in the make And we've been making Music that is free Doing one night stands And playing with our bands Willie Waylon and me
