Well I was thumbing my way from Montgomery Had my guitar on my back When a stranger pulled up beside me, in a antique Cad-il-lac He was dressed like 1950 Half drunk and hol-low eyed Said its a long walk to Nash-ville would you like a ride son?
Well I climbed up in the front seat And he turned on the ra-di-o And them sad old songs com-ing out-ta them speakers was solid country gold Then I no-ticed the stran-ger was ghost white pale When he asked me for a light And I knew there was some-thing strange a-bout this ride
He said drift-er can you make folks cry when you play and sing Have you paid your dues? Can you moan the blues? Can you bend them gui-tar strings? He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel in-side? Cause if your big star bound let me warn you it's a long hard ride
He cried just south of Nash-ville And he turned that car around He said "this is where you get off boy" 'Cause I'm goin' back to Al-a-bam-a' Well I climbed out-ta that Cad-il-lac And I said mis-ter ma-ny thanks He said you don't have to call me mis-ter, mis-ter The whole world calls me Hank
He said drif-ter can you make folks cry when you play and sing Have you paid your dues? Can you moan the blues? Can you bend them gui-tar strings? He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel in-side? Cause if your big star bound let me warn you it's a long hard ride
Hey, drif-ter can you make folks cry when you play and sing Have you paid your dues? Can you moan the blues? Can you bend them gui-tar strings? He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel in-side? Cause if your big star bound let me warn you it's a long hard ride
Well if you're big star bound let me warn ya, its a long hard ride
If you're big star bound........let me warn ya.
