[00:12.150]Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery
[00:15.070]I had my guitar on my back
[00:18.210]When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
[00:22.810]Well he was dressed like 1950
[00:25.750]Half drunk and hollow-eyed
[00:28.420]He said Its a long walk to Nashville
[00:31.140]Would you like a ride son
[00:37.350]And well I sat down in the front seat he turned on the radio
[00:42.890]Them sad old songs comin' out of them speakers was solid country gold
[00:48.630]And I noticed the stranger was ghost-white pale
[00:51.500]When he asked me for a light
[00:54.550]And I knew there was something strange about this ride
[00:59.590]He said Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing
[01:05.519]Have you paid your dues can you moan the blues

[01:11.070]He said Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside
[01:16.120]Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya its a long hard ride
[01:33.490]Then he cried just south of Nashville
[01:45.530]And he turned that car around
[02:01.420]He said This is where you get off boy
[02:07.340]Cause I'm goin' back to Alabam'
[02:09.770]As I stepped out of that Cadillac
[02:17.720]I said Mister many thanks
[02:23.890]He said You don't have to call me Mister Mister
[02:34.950]The whole world called me Hank
[02:39.710]X2
