_ _ _ _ You know your [F#] grandpa [B] was one of my heroes, Hank.
_ _ [E] _ David, you were always one of mine.
_ [F#] You know I loved them old Luther Richter songs.
_ _ _ [E] _ Man, how [B] I loved the ride.
Well, [E] that song got me all balled up [B] _ _
real deep inside.
_ _ [F#] _ That's the same way that I felt the _ [E] _ day that I heard [B] Waylon died.
_ Old [F#] Junior [B]
once said it best, _ [E] _ a country boy can survive.
_ _ [F#] _ Yeah, I don't think you even started, man, _ _ [E] _ to hit your hellbillies [B] drive.
_ [E] It's a long way, day by day.
[B] Songs that we play and the things that we [F#] say.
Might smoke a little, might [E] drink a lot.
_ _ [F#] Brothers of the road with [E] broken hearts.
_ _ [B] If you think you might [A] understand our crazy ways,
[E] you might be living the [B] outlaw way. _ _ _ _ _
_ The old Louisiana [F#] [B] hayride, [F#] always respected, [B] Hank.
[E] It's a shame that the [B] yuppie don't [E] do the same. _
_ [F#] With all them wannabe impersonators at the door. _
[E] And they still won't reinstate the king of country [B] music's thing. _
_ I've got my kin, folks, they can't take that from me.
[E] _ Free, you've been doing your own thing. _
_ [F#] _ You know that's how it ought to be. _
[E] Yeah, you could have took the easy way out and just [B] wrote on old Hank Senior's name.

It's in the things that we say.
[F#] Might smoke a little, might [E] drink a lot.

_ _ You put the gut back in country, and the dick back in [E] Dixie too. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ Hell, you know I was being a rebel, doing what I [B] had to. _
_ _ _ _ _ Sometimes you gotta do a little more than just kick down their door.
[E] You mean like Johnny Cash and a boy named Sue.
_ _ [F#] Remember back when you told them to kiss your ass?
