about

I wrote this tune when I was on tour in Austria, feelin' lonesome and blue and thinking that good ol' Hank could relate. So, I summoned up his soul in this one.

lyrics

Verse
The cat is chasing shadows again
The stars are singing out loud
I’m so lonely tears have gone bone dry
The warm up band in the local bar
Pink floyd covers on crappy guitars
So out of tune, so out of whack

Chorus
Hank Williams won’t you please come back
Oh please come back
I don’t think you knew just what lonely could be
Please come back, please come back
And sing that lonesome song just one more time with me

Verse
I’m hanging here on the edge of the world
I think mind has become unfurled
The moon is orange, low and full, I can’t fight this bull
Cuz I don’t recognize the ring at all
My heart is heavy and I’m down to a crawl
My clothes are torn, overworn

Chorus
Hank Williams open the door
Open the door
I don’t think you knew just what lonely could be
Open the door, open the door
And sing that lonesome song just one more time with me

SOLO

Bridge
Tequila, coffee and roses
In frequent timely doses
Tequila, coffee and roses

The local drunk is the final touch
Wobbling by the pinball it’s all too much
He yells in my face, I feel so displaced

Chorus
Hank Williams take me anyplace
Anyplace
I don’t think you knew just what lonely could be
Any place, any place
And sing that lonesome song just one more time with me
