 I know that I'm not great, and some say I imitate
Anymore I don't know, I'm just doin' the best I can
After all I'm standin' in the shadows, of a very famous man
Spoken
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,
While 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 doin' the best I can
It's hard standin' in the shadows, of a very famous man
Spoken
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 hollerin' and clappin' real loud, 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 to sing 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.
