Later on the were silently beating the living crap out of on the TV above and a little to the of the great Hank Williams' head As a suicide blonde waitress poured him a double shot of 'whatever you got' and laughingly said "I you were dead" The pool balls as he tilted his head back and told her how he had been a big star but now country music was full of He sat there, in the TV streaked his cheeks
When I was only sixteen old I went from Houston to Abilene with a spunky stunningly handsome in a Volkswagen Bug She was grown with kids all her own, a divorcee, and I was a man in love We had only one 8-track tape but it was of the late Hank Williams and we in two-part harmony "Hey good lookin', how's about up with me"
Back at the bar they were last call so I gave the barmaid a card to pay up my tab The TV was turned off and the was dark and the great Hank Williams was gone so I asked her to me a cab She if you like I can give you a ride, so there we out the door and into the city of brotherly love Into the night, out of In a VW Bug
