Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life

(album: Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life - 1976)

You wrote your cheating heart about
A gal like my first ex-wife
You moan the blues for me and for you
Hank Williams, you wrote my life

The cold, cold heart and a doubtful mind
I have known a few myself
And the gal that loved me half as much
As she loved somebody else

You wrote your cheating heart about
A gal like my first ex-wife
You moan the blues for me and for you
Hank Williams, you wrote my life

I've heard that blue old whipporwill, too
And the lonesome whistle whine
I know that feel; so cold, so real
When the blues come around at midnight

We've never met, I know and yet
I know you well, my friend
And if ever I, get to heaven on high
I hope you'll shake my hand

You wrote your cheating heart about
A gal like my first ex-wife
You moan the blues for me and for you
Hank Williams, you wrote my life
