Ray Wylie Hubbard - Fancy Boys lyrics

In this false and soulless age we're all
Tied to a great white whale
Blind faith and promises are hangin'
On a rusty nail we all end up in Nashville
Scroungin' for our next meal
When the devil's lawyer shows up
Says "Down here it's a hell of a deal"

Hank Williams died on New Year's
Day in a Cadillac Fleetwood
And now fancy boys prance around on
Stages where Waylon once stood

An old preacher will appear just
Before our last breath
Saying "Whoever believes the word
They shall not taste death"
Still we stutter and we stammer and
We fall down on our knees
As desperate a real estate agent
At the Salton Sea

Hank Williams died on New Year's
Day in a Cadillac Fleetwood
And now fancy boys prance around on
Stages where Waylon once stood

They say your life will flash before your
Eyes before your soul takes leave
And none but God can see your sins
I guess that's some relief
Before the last waltz is over
A new song shall begin
And the vandals brought the handle back
So the pump works once again

Hank Williams died on New Year's
Day in a Cadillac Fleetwood
And now fancy boys prance around on
Stages where Waylon once stood

Where I'm goin' for my bad past
I ain't gonna need a toothbrush
It's gonna take than more than the soap in my
Mouth like when Momma first heard my cuss
Willie said roll him up and smoke
Him-it'd be easier with a bong
Just throw my ashes in the face of who's
Got this week's number one country song

Hank Williams died on New Year's
Day in a Cadillac Fleetwood
And now fancy boys prance around on
Stages where Waylon once stood
Now fancy boys prance around on
Stages where Waylon once stood
