Marty Stuart - Me & Hank & Jumpin' Jack Flash (This One’s Gonna Hurt You) lyrics
[Marty Stuart - Me & Hank & Jumpin' Jack Flash This One’s Gonna Hurt You lyrics]
Last night I dreamed I
Went to Hillbilly Heaven
Oh what a beautiful sight
St peter come up to me and he said
"now Marty who do you want to see"
So I began to think
I said "why don't you call up old
Hank Williams and see if he's free"
'Cause Hank saw the world from a Cadillac
And he carried them Lovesick Blues
Right on his back ah yeah
Sure as I was dreaming, sure as I was born
Around my neck came this long skinny arm
And he said, "Howdy Hoss, my name is Hank
Now what brings you here"
So I began to think
I said "Hank brother, you've seen it all
You've seen 'em come and go and
You've seen 'em rise and fall
And right now country music's
Got more singers
Than I believe I've ever seen
So many people got to follow out their dream"
"But I feel different, " I said
"'cause I'm a natural born cat
I'm country to the bone
But I don't wear no hat" oh no, two three
Said "I started with Lester back in '72
All I wanted to be was a
Little different like him and you"
He said "whoa now, it just takes a little
Longer to make it if you're different
I guess
But you just sing what's in your heart
And God's gonna do the rest
Just be what you are at all times and
Just tell the folks out there the truth
And that ain't gonna cost you a dime
But if you plan to be different son
You're just rolling the dice
And you know you ain't the first
One to pay that price
'Cause there was me and Elvis
And there was Bocephus too
There was Waylon and Willie and
There was Bill Monroe
And I guess you know about ole Johnny Cash
And I think what the world needs right
Now is a Jumpin' Jack Flash"
Up in Hillbilly Heaven I saw Keith Whitley
I saw Patsy Cline
I saw Reba McEntire's band
They were all friends of mine
And I began to tremble and I began look
I knew I was dreaming but
I just couldn't wake up
Then out of nowhere came this long Cadillac
The driver said "Now come on there
Hank we gotta take you back
Thirty minutes before your next show
We're running behind so we gotta go"
He said "Marty, I tell you what you do
You just go on back down there
And you make us proud
And remember wherever you go
There's a little hillbilly in every crowd"
And he got in that old car
And he drove off slow
But right here is what he said
Before he shut that door
Went to Hillbilly Heaven
Oh what a beautiful sight
St peter come up to me and he said
"now Marty who do you want to see"
So I began to think

Hank Williams and see if he's free"
'Cause Hank saw the world from a Cadillac
