Back To Hank
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's hip hop beats at the Opry
I never thought I'd see the day
There's rappers wearing cowboy hats
It didn't used to be that way
I reckon that's the way it's gone and it's somethin' I can't be
It doesn't sound like country
It don't look like Tennessee
Well, it's a long way back to Hank
It's a far cry to that old steel guitar twang
It's too far to turn around, I think
It's a long way back to Hank
Steel guitars and smoky bars is somethin' from yesterday
But there's still hillbillies cuttin' rugs and livin' the American way
This downtown Nashville music, well, that just ain't my jam
I miss them old twin fiddles and the sound from Alabam
Well, it's a long way back to Hank
It's a far cry from that old steel guitar twang
It's too far to turn around, I think
It's a long way back to Hank
It's a long way back to Hank
And it's a far cry to that old steel guitar twang
It's too far to turn around, I think
And it's a long way back to Hank
Yeah, it's a long way back to Hank
