Lyrics Corey Smith – I’m No Hank Williams

I got a foot in the door, and one in the rain
I’m standing on the threshold of fortune and fame
Out on a limb, I took that great leap of faith
Though I might crash and burn but I might fly away

And I’m no Hank Williams but I’m feeling his pain
Strung out on the highway somewhere between comfort and shame
Oh and its getting hard to see, its getting hard to see

I ain’t got a new car, no mansion on a hill
Just a three bedroom house and whole bunch of bills
Its hard to get rich when everyone wants a cut
And all the family and friends they keep hittin’ you up
For cash aww, the money burns too fast
My wife’s worried sick, afraid that I won’t be true
She’s seen all the movies, know what the highway can do

But I made a promise, praying my soul to keep
So that my little boys won’t be ashamed of me one day
Lord, keep these pretty girls away

I’m no Hank Williams but I’m feeling his pain
Stretched out in a back seat, a good man driven to drink
Oh and its getting hard to see
All that I wanted (All) was my chance to provide (my chance to provide)
A song for the ages (Aww) leave some good work behind

I’m no role model, I’ve got more problems than most
Momma called me a genius, but hell I ain’t even close

Well they think I’m cool

But I’m no Hank Williams
No I’m no Hank Williams
But I’m feeling his pain
