1
I know that I'm not great
2
And some say I imitate
3
Anymore I don't know
4
I'm just doing the best I can
5
After all I'm standing in the shadows
6
Of a very famous man
7
As I travel around from town to town
8
I have a lot of dad's fans and friends come around
9
They say I know Hank would be proud of you
10
If he were here today
11
Now well, we're all so glad
12
And we know he would be too
13
That you're carryin' on
14
His music this way
15
Yes, they say Hank was the all time great
16
And we know you'll be just as good as your dad
17
But I just smile and say there'll never be another Hank Williams friends
18
That's the part that always makes them sad
19
Yes, I know that I'm not great
20
And some say, I imitate
21
Anymore I don't know
22
I'm just doing the best I can
23
It's hard standing in the shadows
24
Of a very famous man
25
So many times when I'm on that stage
26
I feel something go through me
27
And for a minute I'm in a different world
28
And that's when it does something to me
29
The people are a hollering and clapping real aloud
30
While I'm out they're taking my bows
31
I look up toward the ceiling and I say to myself
32
"Listen dad, just listen to that crowd"
33
But as the show goes on the people clap and holler more
34
I start to singing another of your great songs
35
That's the time that I know although you're gone
36
Your music will live on and on and on
