I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can After all I'm standing in the shadows Of a very famous man As I travel around from town to town I have a lot of dad's fans and friends come around They say I know Hank would be proud of you if he were here today Now well we're all so glad and we know he would be too That you're carryin' on his music this way Yes they say Hank was the all time great And we know you'll be just as good as your dad But I just smile and say there'll never be another Hank Williams friends That's the part that always makes them sad Yes I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can It's hard standing in the shadows Of a very famous man So many times when I'm on that stage I feel something go through me And for a minute I'm in a different world and that's when it does something to me The people are a hollering and clapping real aloud While I'm out they're taking my bows I look up toward the ceiling and I say to myself listen dad just listen to that crowd But as the show goes on the people clap and holler more I start singing another of your great songs That's the time that I know although you're gone your music will live on and on and on
