Whiskey Myers - Hank Lyrics

MY FIRST RECORD WAS THE PRESSURE IS ON
AIN'T IT FUNNY HOW YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE WITH A SONG
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD
COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE
NOW I GOT A GUITAR AND A LI'L BAND, I LIVE HARD, I LIVE FAST
JUST LIKE THE MAN
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST SAY IT,
IT'S GOT TO BE PART OF YOUR LIFE
GUESS I'M FINALLY WHISKEY BENT NOW AND HELL BOUND
BECAUSE I BEEN LOW BUT I AIN'T EVER BEEN THIS FAR DOWN

CHORUS
I NEED A BACKROAD SOMEWHERE DEEP IN THE PINES
SPINNING MY WHEELS UNTIL THE SUN SHINES
BECAUSE I'M BACK AT THE BOTTOM
AND I AIN'T GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
YEA I'VE PRAYED TO THE LORD I'VE STRUGGLED AND STRIVED
I WILL NEVER GET OUT OF THIS WORLD ALIVE
SO HANK WON'T YA HELP ME, BECAUSE I'M LOW DOWN
AND SINGING THE BLUES

I ALMOST OD'D IN DENVER JUST THE OTHER NIGHT
I WAS HIGH IN THE ROCKIES ON A 13-HOUR FLIGHT
TRYING TO GET HOME TO MY COUNTRY STATE OF MIND
NOW THESE BLUES, THEY COME AND GO JUST LIKE THE RAIN
I NEED A LI'L MORE HELP TO EASE THE PAIN
MISTER WEATHERMAN WON'T YOU PUSH THESE CLOUDS AWAY
BUT LEAVE ME ALONE BECAUSE I'M SINGIN' ALL DAMN NIGHT
THERE'S A TEAR IN MY BEER, GUESS I FINALLY KNOW WHY

CHORUS

MY FIRST RECORD WAS THE PRESSURE IS ON
AIN'T IT FUNNY HOW YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE WITH A SONG
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD
COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE
NOW I GOT A GUITAR AND A LI'L BAND, I LIVE HARD, I LIVE FAST
JUST LIKE THE MAN
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST SAY IT,
IT'S GOT TO BE PART OF YOUR LIFE
GUESS I'M FINALLY WHISKEY BENT NOW AND HELL BOUND
BECAUSE I BEEN LOW BUT I AIN'T EVER BEEN THIS FAR DOWN

CHORUS
I NEED A BACKROAD SOMEWHERE DEEP IN THE PINES
SPINNING MY WHEELS UNTIL THE SUN SHINES
BECAUSE I'M BACK AT THE BOTTOM
AND I AIN'T GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
YEA I'VE PRAYED TO THE LORD I'VE STRUGGLED AND STRIVED
I WILL NEVER GET OUT OF THIS WORLD ALIVE
SO HANK WON'T YA HELP ME, BECAUSE I'M LOW DOWN
AND SINGING THE BLUES

I ALMOST OD'D IN DENVER JUST THE OTHER NIGHT
I WAS HIGH IN THE ROCKIES ON A 13-HOUR FLIGHT
TRYING TO GET HOME TO MY COUNTRY STATE OF MIND
NOW THESE BLUES, THEY COME AND GO JUST LIKE THE RAIN
I NEED A LI'L MORE HELP TO EASE THE PAIN
MISTER WEATHERMAN WON'T YOU PUSH THESE CLOUDS AWAY
BUT LEAVE ME ALONE BECAUSE I'M SINGIN' ALL DAMN NIGHT
THERE'S A TEAR IN MY BEER, GUESS I FINALLY KNOW WHY
