Lyrics

[Verse 1] Daddy had a 1949 Ford When I was just about ten years old We would listen to Hank and Lefty on the radio "Why Don't You Love Me (Like You Used to Do)" And "Just Look What Thoughts Will Do" Ole Hank and Lefty raised my country soul [Chorus] Now I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes Listen to Hank sing the "Lovesick Blues" We never met ole Hank but we was awful close Cut my teeth on "Always Late" And "I Love You a Thousand Ways" Ole Hank and Lefty raised my country soul [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Daddy said the hair on his neck would crawl When ole Hank sang about the light he saw Hank sure put a whole lot of heart in the songs he wrote Every time daddy got a little bit tight "Mom and Dad's Waltz" would make him cry Ole Hank and Lefty raised my country soul [Chorus] Now I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes Listenin' to Hank sing the "Lovesick Blues" We never met ole Hank but we was awful close Cut my teeth on "Always Late" And "I Love You a Thousand Ways" Ole Hank and Lefty raised my country soul Ole Hank and Lefty raised my country soul
