lyrics

Verse One
Mr Williams was my neighbor
He Never met a stranger
And he spent most of his life Out on a bus
He was six feet tall and fragile
But had a strong voice like an angel
And he loved to drink as much As he did love
Because
It was the only way he knew To soothe the blues

Chorus
There were times throughout his life
He was so lonesome he could cry
But his life changed that winter day
Mrs Audrey caught his eye
and her jambalaya made him so inspired
he put words down on a page...
To me he was Mr Williams
But the whole world called him Hank

Verse Two
He never set out to be a legend
He only used his gifts from heaven
To write and sing and play and pay his dues
And his songs shot up like rockets
But those demons in his closet
we're the closest friends he had To hold onto
Because
It was the only way he knew
To soothe the blues

Chorus
A part of his heart died inside when they kicked him off that stage
And a part of all of us died too the day he passed away
without him country music would not be where it is today
Yeah that was Mr. Williams
but the whole world called him Hank

Turnaround
There ain't no doubt
He's still travel'n on
That lost highway
Yeah that was Mr. Williams
The whole world called him Hank

Tag
Thank you, Mr. Williams.
