Hank Williams' Ghost

In the early morning hours
Just before you’re wide awake
Before you summons all your powers
To cover up your big mistake
When all the coulda woulda beens
Collide with shoulda knowns
And all your rage and angst hillbilly sins
Have an odor all their own
Aw, but it’s all right, it’s okay
You’ll learn to look the other way
Life is short, life is long (hey)
Get your guitar and sing this song:
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
Now you’re kickin' back the covers
Now you’re ready to make your stand
You never ever really ever really ever thought that you were quite like all the
others
No you had promise in your hands
And you studied truth and honor
Oh but you did not pass the test
Oh up in heaven you’re a goner
Seems you’re as human as the rest
Yeah, but it’s all right, it’s okay
You’ll learn to stand some other way
Like on your knees or on your back (hey)
Take one last breath and fade to black
La-da-da-da-die-die-die
Nobody said it would be easy
And nobody said it had to be this
Hard
This hard
And when you’re floating o’er the mountain
With the living world below
They’re so full of hope and so full of wanting
Most of which they’ll never know
But you have heard the angels singing
Hell they’re singing to you yet
Take the gifts that they are bringing
They may be all that you get
Oh but it’s all right, it’s ok
You’ll be a saint some other day
Fare thee well, adios
Yeah, we hurt the ones we love the most
We hurt the ones we love the most
And we blame it on Hank Williams' ghost
