I'm No Hank Williams

I got a foot in the door and one in the rain

I'm standing on the threshold of fortune and fame

Out on a limb I took that great leap of faith

Though I might crash and burn but I might fly away

Who knows

There's no telling what tomorrow holds

And I ain't got a clue how I made it this far

With a few country songs on an acoustic guitar

I'm not too good looking and I'm painfully shy

I'm not cut out for the spotlight just an ordinary guy

Who sings

About a little bit of everything

And I'm no Hank Williams

But I'm feeling his pain

Strung out on the highway

Somewhere between comfort and shame

Oh and it's getting hard to see

It's getting hard to see

I ain't got a new car, no mansion on the hill

Just a three bedroom house and a whole bunch of bills

It's hard to get rich when everyone wants a cut

And all your family and friends they keep hitting you up for cash

All the money burns too fast

And my wife's worried sick afraid that I won't be true

She's seen all the movies knows what the highway can do

But I made a promise praying my soul to keep

So that my little boys won't be ashamed of me one day

Lord keep these pretty girls away

I'm no Hank Williams

But I'm feeling his pain

Stretched out in the backseat

A good man driven to drink

Oh and it's getting hard to see

All that I wanted

Was my chance to provide

A song for the ages

To leave a good word behind

I'm no role model I got more problems than most

Mama called me a genius but hell I ain't even close

A head full of questions fumbling and stumbling around

Hell I couldn't even tell you where I'll be a few months from now

And I'm scared

That I'm nowhere near prepared

I got a foot in the door and one in the rain

I'm standing on the threshold of fortune and fame

I got no way of knowing how it's gonna end
