Then there was the timeI saw the great Hank Williams singing on the stage in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania and he was all dressed up in dragFrom his rose red lips to his rhinestone hips he beltedOut song after song as he drank from a brown paper bagAnd the songs he sang of love and pain,So pure perfect reflections of human imperfections,It damn near choked me upBut the rest of the show, was kind of slowAnd then someone woke me upLater on the Astros were silently beating the living crapOut of Cincinnati on the tv aboveAnd a little to the left of the great Hank Williams' headAs a busty suicide blonde waitress poured him a double shot of 'whatever you got'And laughingly said I thought you were deadThe pool balls cracked as he tilted his head backAnd told her how he had been a big star but now country music was full of freaksHe sat there, in the tv glareMascara streaked his cheeksWhen I was only sixteen years old I went from Houston to AbileneWith a spunky stunningly handsome woman in a Volkswagen BugShe was grown with some kids all her own,A committment-free divorcee, and I was a man in loveWe had only one 8-track tape but it was of the late greatHank Williams and we sang in two-part harmonyHey good lookin', how's about cookin'Something up with meBack at the bar they were calling last callSo I gave the barmaid a credit card to pay up my tabThe tv was turned off and the stage was darkAnd the great Hank Williams was gone so I asked her to call me a cabShe said if you like I can give you a ride,So there we were out the door and into the city of brotherly loveInto the night, out of sightIn a vw Bug
