[Hank Williams Jr. - Last Driftin’ Cowboy lyrics]
1949 sure was a way back when
But that's when they formed
The band who influenced
All of the music since then
The twenty-five year old singer
Was the king of moaning the blues
His words would make you feel
And with that crying steel why they just
Over powered you
I was one of the lucky few that
Got to play with him
When I turned twenty-one he told me
Son, I'm gonna fill you in
Don't believe that stuff about
Your dad being sad to the end
He knew how to have fun
He owned the music son
He was a sharp dressed rambling man
Well now I gotta tell ya something
I want the world to know
It's gonna shake your boots
And it might chill your soul
'cause I just got the news not too long ago
I've gotta break it to you
It's theend of the show
The last drifting cowboy is gone
Our one link to Hank and those great songs
I'm gonna play his steel guitar licks
All night long
'cause the last drifting cowboy has
Found his way home
But that's when they formed
The band who influenced
All of the music since then
The twenty-five year old singer
Was the king of moaning the blues
His words would make you feel
And with that crying steel why they just
Over powered you
I was one of the lucky few that
Got to play with him
When I turned twenty-one he told me
Son, I'm gonna fill you in
Don't believe that stuff about
Your dad being sad to the end
He knew how to have fun
He owned the music son
He was a sharp dressed rambling man
Well now I gotta tell ya something
I want the world to know
It's gonna shake your boots
And it might chill your soul
'cause I just got the news not too long ago
I've gotta break it to you
It's theend of the show
The last drifting cowboy is gone
Our one link to Hank and those great songs
I'm gonna play his steel guitar licks
All night long
'cause the last drifting cowboy has
Found his way home
