Lyrics

Lord, it’s the (Bb)same old tune, (Eb)fid dle and gui tar.

Where do we take it from (Eb)here?

(Bb)Rhine stone suits and (Eb)new shin y cars,

it’s been the same way for (Eb)years.

We need to (Eb)change.

Some (Bb)bod y told me, when I came to Nash ville, “Son, you fin ’lly got it (Eb)made.

Old (Bb)Hank made it here.

(Eb)We’re all sure that you will,” but I (Bb)don’t think Hank done it this (Eb)way.

I (Bb)don’t think Hank done it this a way.

Ten years down the road, mak in’ (Eb)one night stands, (Bb)speed in’ my young life a (Eb)way.

Tell me one more time just so (Eb)I un der stand.

Are you (Bb)sure Hank done it this (Eb)way?

Did old (Bb)Hank real ly do it this a way?

Lord, (Bb)I’ve seen the world with a (Eb)five piece band (Bb)look in’ at the back side of (Eb)me.

(Bb)Sing in’ my songs, one of his now and then, but I (Bb)don’t think Hank done ’em this (Eb)way.

I (Bb)don’t think Hank done ’em this a way.
