You're The Reason I Never Saw Hank Jnr Play

(album: The Outback Club - 1992)

Well I travelled half way round the world to Nashville Tennessee
To hear the son of Luke the Drifter pick and sing for me
Well I'd waited half my life to hear Hank Jr's country show
But I didn't count on meeting you in the 42nd row

Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Junior play
I asked could I buy you a drink and we went out by the stage
Well you came from Alabama and you talked that Southern way
And honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Junior play

He was singing hey good looking and the crowd were going wild
But all I saw were blue eyes when you looked at me and smiled
Now I still love Bocephus I'm a big fan through and through
But we left Hank and the Bama band and I went home with you

Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Junior play
Well somehow we got tangled up out behind the stage
Well you came from Alabama and you talked that Southern way
Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Junior play

Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Junior play
I asked could I buy you a drink and we went out by the stage
Well you came from Alabama and you talked that Southern way
Honey you're the reason I never
I'm so glad we got together
But you're the reason I never saw Hank Junior play
