Friday Morning Lryics - Hank Williams Jr.

Drinking a cup of coffee, listening to the news and reading TigerNet - this song came to mind ...
"A Country Boy Can Survive"
"The preacher man says it's the end of time And the Mississippi River, she's a going dry The interest is up and the stock markets down And you only get mugged if you go downtown
I live back in the woods, you see My woman and the kids and the dogs and me I got a shotgun and a rifle and a four wheel drive And a countr yboy can survive, country folks can survive
I can plow a field all day long, I can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too Ain't too many things these boys can't do We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine And country boy can survive, country folk can survive"

The Ride by David Allen Coe

Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery had my guitar on my back When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac Now he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow-eyed Said, "It's a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son?"
Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio And them sad old songs comin' out of them Speakers was solid country gold Then I noticed the stranger was Ghost-white pale when he asked me for a light And I knew there was something strange about this ride
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing? Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues? Can you bend them, guitar strings?" He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside? 'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
Then he cried just south of Nashville and he turned that car around He said, "This is where you get off boy I'm goin' back to Alabam" As I stepped out of that Cadillac I said, "Mr., many thanks" He said, "You don't have to call me Mr., Mr. The whole world called me Hank
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing? Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues? Can you bend them, guitar strings?" He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside? 'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing? Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues? Can you bend them, guitar strings?"

This was us back in the good ole days
Like A Rock lyrics
Artist(s) Bob Seger Album(s) Like a Rock Greatest Hits Words and Music by Bob Seger
Stood there boldly Sweatin' in the sun Felt like a million Felt like number one The height of summer I'd never felt that strong Like a rock
I was eighteen Didn't have a care Working for peanuts Not a dime to spare But I was lean and Solid everywhere Like a rock
My hands were steady My eyes were clear and bright My walk had purpose My steps were quick and light And I held firmly To what I felt was right Like a rock
Like a rock, I was strong as I could be Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me Like a rock, I was something to see Like a rock
And I stood arrow straight Unencumbered by the weight Of all these hustlers and their schemes I stood proud, I stood tall High above it all I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now Where'd they go? twenty years I don't know sit and I wonder sometimes Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night When I'm bathed in the firelight The moon comes callin' a ghostly white And I recall recall
Like a rock. standin' arrow straight Like a rock, chargin' from the gate Like a rock, carryin' the weight Like a rock

Oh yeah, saw Hank Jr. several times in Littlejohn! I've taught myself to play guitar for fun; the first song I learned was was.... "Country Boy Can Survive!"

One of the best concert I've ever been to was Hank at littlejohn back in 2003, the Friday before we played Virginia. That game was also one of my favorites as we beat a ranked Virginia team led by Matt schaub in overtime. Kevin youngblood catches the game winning pass. Great weekend.
