The Smokey Mountain Shine - Just Like Ol Man Hank Lyrics

I'm used to people tellin' me I'm washed up
My body's all beaten up
From bein' torn up most my life
No, I'm not denyin' I'd love a couple retakes
Avoid them heartbreaks that lead me to the shine
Well, just like old man Hank, I saw the light
Oh, just like old man Hank, I saw the light

Yeah there wasn't any back alley dump of a bar room
A good time wasn't found
And I stood up top as I watched my empire burning to the ground
And I staked my claim where I took the blame for the evils in my life
And just like old man Hank, I saw the light
And just like old man Hank, I saw the light

I used to get so high that I turned my back on friends of mine
Just didn't give a damn if I lived or died
I was a train wreck, no one could look away, just a propped-up freak show up on stage
The ones I used to love feedin' me my lines
And just like old man Hank, I saw the light
Just like old man Hank, I saw the light

Yeah there wasn't any back alley dump of a bar room
A good time wasn't found
And I stood on top as I watched my empire burning to the ground
And I staked my claim where I took the blame for the evils in my life
And just like old man Hank, I saw the light
And just like old man Hank, I saw the light

Yeah there wasn't any back alley dump of a bar room
A good time wasn't found
And I stood on top as I watched my empire burning to the ground
And I staked my claim where I took the blame for the evils in my life
And just like old man Hank, I saw the light
Just like old man Hank, I saw the light
And just like old man Hank, I saw the light
And just like old man Hank, I saw the light
