Lyrics for Hank and Lefty
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 Old Hank and Lefty raised my country soul Now I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes Listening to Hank sing the Lovesick Blues We never met Ol' Hank, but we was awful close Cut my teeth on Always Late And I Love You a Thousand Ways Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul Daddy said the hair on his neck would crawl When old Hank sang about the light he saw Hank sure put a whole lot of heart in the songs he wrote Everytime daddy got a little bit tight Mom and Dad's Waltz would make him cry Old Hank and Lefty raised my country soul Now I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes Listening to Hank sing the Lovesick Blues We never met Ol' Hank but we was awful close Cut my teeth on Always Late And I Love You a Thousand Ways Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul Old Hank and Lefty raised my country soul
