I was thumbin' from montgomery

Had my guitar on my back

When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique cadillac

Well he was dressed like 1950

Half drunk and hollow eyed

Said its a long walk to nashville

Would you like a ride

Son

Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio

Them sad old songs comin' out of them speakers was solid country gold

And I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale

When he asked me for a light

And I knew there was something strange about this ride

He said drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing

Have you paid your dues

Can you moan the blues

Can you bend them guitar strings

He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside

Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya

Its a long

Hard ride

Well he cried just south of nashville

And he turned that car around

He said this is where you get off boy

I'm goin' back to alabam

As I stepped out of that cadillac

I said mr

Many thanks

He said you don't have to call me mr

Mr

The whole world called me hank

He said drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing

Have you paid your dues

Can you moan the blues

Can you bend them guitar strings

He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside

Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya

Its a long

Hard ride

He said drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing

Have you paid your dues

Can you moan the blues

Can you bend them guitar strings

He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside

Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya

Its a long

Hard ride
