Hank williams' ghost

In the early morning hours
Just before you're wide awake
Before you summons all your powers
To cover up your big mistake

When all the coulda woulda beens
Collide with shoulda knowns
And all your rage and angst hillbilly sins
Have an odor all their own

Aw, but it's all right, it's ok
You'll learn to look the other way
Life is short, life is long hey!
Get your guitar and sing this song:
La-da-da-da-da-da-da…

Now you're kickin back the covers
Now you're ready to make your stand
You never thought that you were quite like all the others
No, you had promise in your hands

& you studied truth and honor
Oh, but you did not pass the test
Up in heaven you're a goner
Seems you're as human as the rest

Yeah, but it's all right, it's ok
You'll learn to stand some other way
Like on your knees or on your back hey!
Take one last breath and fade to black
La-da-da da-die-die-die…

Nobody said it would be easy
And nobody said it had to be this hard

And when you're floating o'er the mountain
With the living world below
They're so full of hope and so full of wanting
Most of which they'll never know

But you have heard the angels singing
Hell, they're singing to you yet
Take the gifts that they are bringing
They may be all that you get

Chorus 3:
Oh but it's all right, it's ok
You'll be a saint some other day
Fare thee well, adios
And we blame it on hank Williams' ghost
