Darrell Scott Hank William's Ghost Lyrics

IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS JUST BEFORE YOU'RE WIDE AWAKE BEFORE YOU SUMMONS ALL YOUR POWERS TO COVER UP YOUR BIG MISTAKE

WHEN ALL THE COULDA WOULDA BEENS COLLIDE WITH SHOULDA KNOWNS AND ALL YOUR RAGE AND ANGST HILLBILLY SINS HAVE AN ODOR ALL THEIR OWN

AW, BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, IT'S OK YOU'LL LEARN TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY LIFE IS SHORT, LIFE IS LONG HEY! GET YOUR GUITAR AND SING THIS SONG: LA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA...

NOW YOU'RE KICKIN BACK THE COVERS NOW YOU'RE READY TO MAKE YOUR STAND YOU NEVER THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE QUITE LIKE ALL THE OTHERS NO, YOU HAD PROMISE IN YOUR HANDS

& YOU STUDIED TRUTH AND HONOR OH, BUT YOU DID NOT PASS THE TEST UP IN HEAVEN YOU'RE A GONER SEEMS YOU'RE AS HUMAN AS THE REST

YEAH, BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, IT'S OK YOU'LL LEARN TO STAND SOME OTHER WAY LIKE ON YOUR KNEES OR ON YOUR BACK HEY! TAKE ONE LAST BREATH AND FADE TO BLACK LA-DA-DA DA-DIE-DIE-DIE...
NOBODY SAID IT WOULD BE EASY AND NOBODY SAID IT HAD TO BE THIS HARD

AND WHEN YOU'RE FLOATING O'ER THE MOUNTAIN WITH THE LIVING WORLD BELOW THEY'RE SO FULL OF HOPE AND SO FULL OF WANTING MOST OF WHICH THEY'LL NEVER KNOW

BUT YOU HAVE HEARD THE ANGELS SINGING HELL, THEY'RE SINGING TO YOU YET TAKE THE GIFTS THAT THEY ARE BRINGING THEY MAY BE ALL THAT YOU GET

CHORUS 3: OH BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, IT'S OK YOU'LL BE A SAINT SOME OTHER DAY FARE THEE WELL, ADIOS WE HURT THE ONES WE LOVE THE MOST AND WE BLAME IT ON HANK WILLIAMS' GHOST
