Hank's Cadillac

I'd of kept him up all night

I wouldn't let him close his eyes

Made him sing "I Saw The Light"

'Til he sobered up again

I'd of kept the coffee strong

Oh I could've kept him hanging on

If I'd of been in the back

Of Hank's cadillac

I gotta be in Ohio by tomorrow night

Hank you've gotta get up on that stage

You can't let all those good people down

No it just ain't right

To book a show and not show up to play

I'd of kept him up all night

I wouldn't let him close his eyes

Made him sing "I Saw The Light"

'Til he sobered up again

I'd of kept the coffee strong

Oh I could've kept him hanging on

If I'd of been in the back

Of Hank's Cadillac

When his hands started trembling

And his body turning cold

And death started tugging at his soul

I'd of found one of his songs playing on that a.m. radio

Held him tight and begged him not to go

I'd of held him tight and begged him not to go

I'd of kept him up all night

I wouldn't let him close his eyes

Made him sing "I Saw The Light"

'Til he sobered up again

I'd of kept the coffee strong

Oh I could've kept him hanging on

If I'd of been in the back

Of Hank's Cadillac

He'd had lived to play more songs

Oh I could've kept him hanging on

If I'd of been in the back

Of Hank's cadillac
