Lyrics

1949, sure was a way back when, but that's when they formed the band who influenced, all of the music since then, the twenty-five year old singer, was the king of moanin' the blues, his words would make you feel, and with that cryin' steel, why they just, over powered you, i was one of the lucky few that, got to play with him, when i turned twenty-one he told me, son, i'm gonna fill you in, don't believe that stuff about your dad bein', sad to the end, he knew how to have fun, he owned the music son, he was a sharp dressed ramblin' man, well now i gotta tell ya somethin', i want the world to know, it's gonna shake your boots, and it might chill your soul, 'cause i just got the news, not too long ago, i've gotta break it to you, it's the.end of the show, the last driftin' cowboy is gone, our one link to hank, and those great songs, i'm gonna play his steel guitar licks, all night long, 'cause the last driftin' cowboy has, found his way home
