Generate meaning
1
I was thumbing from Montgomery
2
I had my guitar on my back
3
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
4
He was dress like 1950
5
Half drunk and hollow eyed
6
He said its a long walk to Nashville would you like a ride son
7
Well I sat down in the front seat
8
He turned on the radio
9
And them sad old songs coming outta them speakers was solid country gold
10
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale
11
When I asked him for a light
12
And I knew there was something strange about this ride
13
[Chorus]
14
He said drifter can you make folks cry when you play and sing
15
Have you paid your dues?
16
Can you moan the blues?
17
Can you bend them guitar strings?
18
He said boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
19
'Cause if your big star bound let me warn you it's a long hard ride
20
Well he cried just south of Nashville
21
And he turned that car around
22
He said this is where you get off boy
23
I'm goin' back to Alabam
24
And as I stepped outta that Cadillac
25
I said mister many thanks
26
He said you don't have to call me mister mister
27
The whole world calls me Hank
28
[Chorus]
