Everybody Wants to Be Hank Williams - Creed Fisher

Step off that old Greyhound, just as green as they can be

With a handful of songs and a heart full of dreams

They’ve heard a thousand stories but the ones they don’t tell

How that golden road to heaven sometimes leads you straight through hell

Everybody wants to hear the fiddler, everybody wants to pay the price

Everybody wants to be Hank Williams, but nobody wants to die

Well, there ain’t no easy money when you’re belting out those blues

You can’t win nothing in this life if you’re scared to death to lose

If you’re gonna play the big show, gotta learn to play them dice

Everybody wants to be Hank Williams, but nobody wants to die

Well, he came from Alabama but he went against the grain

He got it on his own, he didn’t get it on his name

They can steal your dreams and money, it damn sure can be cold

But if you give it all you got, they just can’t steal your soul

Everybody wants to hear the fiddler, everybody wants to pay the price

Everybody wants to be Hank Williams, but nobody wants to die

Well, there ain’t no easy money when you’re belting out those blues

You can’t win nothing in this life if you’re scared to death to lose

If you’re gonna play the big show, gotta learn to play them dice

Everybody wants to be Hank Williams, but nobody wants to die

Everybody wants to be Hank Williams, but nobody wants to die
