Last Driftin' Cowboy

1949

Sure was a way back when

But that's when they formed the band who influenced

All of the music since then

The twenty-five year old singer

Was the king of moanin' the blues

His words would make you feel

And with that cryin' steel

Why they just

Over powered you

I was one of the lucky few that

Got to play with him

When I turned twenty-one he told me

Son, I'm gonna fill you in

Don't believe that stuff about your dad bein'

Sad to the end

He knew how to have fun

He owned the music son

He was a sharp dressed ramblin' man

Well now I gotta tell ya somethin'

I want the world to know

It's gonna shake your boots

And it might chill your soul

'cause I just got the news

Not too long ago

I've gotta break it to you

It's the...end of the show

The last driftin' cowboy is gone

Our one link to Hank

And those great songs

I'm gonna play his steel guitar licks

All night long

'cause the last driftin' cowboy has

Found his way home
