Not Just Another Fad
View ArtistLyrics
If Hank had been a farmer Would he still be here today? Plowin' fields of cotton Bringin' in Alabama hay Would he have grown into a grandpa With kids upon his knee And tuned in the Grand Old Opry Along with you and me? Chorus: (But we loved the way he sang the songs And the special gift he had Though he was here and gone like a flash of light He was not just another fad) If Elvis had been a preacher Preachin' the gospel word Would he have made us to believers? Would we still have seen and heard? Would he have set out on a mission? A soul-saving search Would he have shook our hands on Sunday At a little white country church? If Phil had been a teacher Teachin' in the schools Most likely political science And bendin' all the rules Would he have stayed up grading papers Late into the night With special care for a ghetto kid To help him see the light? If Tim had been a carpenter Workin' with his hands Makin' things that last with time In the time for which it stands Would he have set himself a standard To work for and achieve? Would he have still given us a reason A reason to believe? So we can criticize the way they lived And the way they died But the songs they sang were all for us In us they did confide Behind the star, upon the door Was a worn and a broken crutch Somehow I guess they gave us Gave us just a little too much Yes we loved the way they sang the songs And the special gift they had Though they were here and gone like a flash of light They were not just another fad Though they were here and gone like a flash of light They were not just another fad
