Mrs Hank Williams Songtext
von Fred Eaglesmith

Forty miles out of Nashville I had to stop the car
We′d been drivin' all night long and I didn′t know where we were
And whatever I took to stay awake had just gave me the chills
And she was going on about Mrs. Hank Williams

When we got to Cincinnati I had to put her on a plane
She was fighting with the band and it was her or it was them
And they called in the cops 'cause we were fighting and yelling
And they were lookin' at her like she might be Mrs. Hank Williams


Mrs. Hank Williams, cryin′ all night long
Mrs. Hank Williams, waitin′ up 'til dawn
When they talk about her she′s one in a million
And when they introduce her she's Mrs. Hank Williams

She doesn′t watch the show, she just stays in the car
And watches the young girls outside the stage door
And they're there to tell you how much they′d be ready and willing
To take the place any day of Mrs. Hank Williams

Mrs. Hank Williams, cryin' all night long
Mrs. Hank Williams, waitin' up ′til dawn
When they talk about her she′s one in a million
And when they introduce her she's Mrs. Hank Williams

And when they introduce her she′s Mrs. Hank Williams
