Lyrics for Hank's Guitar

Last night, I had a dream That I was Hank's guitar He held me, close against his chest And he wrote, "Your Cheatin' Heart" He drank a lot, of whiskey As he wrote down, all that came When he sang it, back to me The tears fell, on my strings He picked me up, and tuned me And he played me, all night long He cried, while he was singing All those lonesome songs Funny, how a dream, can be so real And make you wonder, who you are Last night, while I was sleeping I dreamed, that I was Hank's guitar Then he put me, in my case, ' We got into, that blue Cadillac As we pulled out, of Montgomery I had a feelin', that he wouldn't be, comin' back Next thing, that I knew I was given to the, Country Music Hall of Fame That's when I woke up, to the moaning Of a lonesome, midnight train He picked me up, and tuned me And he played me, all night long He cried, while he was singing All those lonesome, lonesome, songs Funny, how a dream, can be so real And make you wonder, who you are Last night, while I was sleeping I dreamed, that I was, Hank's guitar Last night, while I was sleeping I dreamed, that I was, Hank's guitar
