Lyrics

They move to town by the thousands They want to be a star They want to play the big time Selling records and buying new cars They beat the streets of music town With a song and an old guitar Say in about a year or so they’re gonna be a Nashville Star Everybody wants to be Hank but no one wants to die Everybody wants to moan the blues but no one wants to cry You wanna be an outlaw you gotta take the long hard ride Everybody wants to be Hank but no one wants to die They say the roads what killed him In the back of that Cadillac Hopped up on pills drinking booze for a bad back They don’t know the heartache or the feelings he felt that night But I believe there in the dark he finally saw the light Chorus So if you think you’ve got what it takes By all means give it a try But that hard living man from down in Alabam Wasn’t scared to pay the price
