Hank It Will Never Be the Same Without You Songtext
von Ernest Tubb

Singer′s may come and go, but there's one thing I know
There will never be another to compare
With this boy from Alabam, who gained fame but never found
The happiness he always searched for everywhere

Hank Williams showed a gift of God
In his many, many songs
He made many sad hearts happy
And sent a lot of ramblers home

Yet his life was filled with misery
Right from the very start
We knew the truth each time he′d sing
Of men with broken hearts

And on that fateful New Year's morn
The Lord called him above
And there I know he will find a life
Of everlasting love


Yes, Hank has finally reached that goal
He strived so bravely for
That of eternal happiness
Could anyone deserve it more?

You know this life was kinda rough on Hank
Fate sorted kicked him 'round
But through it all he′d just grin and say
"It ain′t gonna get me down"

And then he'd seek out those in need
Well they could have his last thin dime
For his heart was big, his heart was gold
And he worked it overtime

You see, Hank was my real true friend
Not the fair-weather kind
There was no doubt just where he stood
Even when the fault was mine

To him there was no in between
It was either all or none
He played for keeps, but he played for fair
At last for keeps he′s won


Yes, his songs will live forever
Through the ages they'll be sung
Like the echos of a church bell
Long after it′s been rung

So, Hank, if maybe you're listening
I′ve heard it could be so
We miss you boy, we miss you lots
But shucks, I better go

So as years roll along, we'll just carry on
But if somehow you find out I'm blue
I didn′t plan it that way, so all I can say
Hank, it will never be the same without you
