Song Description

This song is my ode to the late, great, Hank Williams.

Lyrics

Ash to ash and dust to dust
Is death the wage of wanderlust?
Your mournful cries and plaintive wails
Were not enough to tip the scales

Lovesick demons having fled
They left your heart and filled your head
Out poured the lines that had them sussed
No matter how they fought and fussed

There's a yellow circle of light where you once stood
Laying bare on solid wood
Bet you'd go back if you could
Write more wrongs than you should
They'd better nail your coffin tight
You've never gone down without a fight
Once having wrestled through the darkest night
You praised the Lord and saw the light

Wielding the words that rent the veil
You forged country music's holy grail
Oh chalice of shame and wretch and rot
A man can drink but a boy best not

Forever late for one more show
The robins have died, the whippoorwills flown
Lost in this world you settled the score
The last living, breathing, troubadour

There's a yellow circle of light where you once stood
Laying bare on solid wood
Bet you'd go back if you could
Write more wrongs than you should
They'd better nail your coffin tight
You've never gone down without a fight
Once having wrestled through the darkest night
You praised the Lord and saw the light

Ramblin' man, where'd you go?
Dressed all in white from head to toe
One last trip down a lonesome road
Into Luke The Drifter's dream...
Into Luke The Drifter's dream...
Into Luke The Drifter's dream abode

There's a yellow circle of light where you once stood
