Song: I'm No Hank Williams Tab
I'm No Hank Williams
By Corey Smith
7/29/2010
Capo 1
C Am F G twice
C Am F G
I got a foot in the door and one in the rain
C Am F G
I�m standing on the threshold of fortune and fame
C Am F G
Out on a limb, I took that great leap of faith
C Am F G
Oh I might crash and burn but I might fly away
C Am F G
Who knows, there�s no telling what tomorrow holds
C Am F G
And I ain�t got a clue how I made it this far
C Am F G
With a few country songs on an acoustic guitar
C Am F G
I ain't that good looking and I�m painfully shy
C Am F G
I'm not cut out for the spotlight, just an ordinary guy
C Am F G F
Who sings about a little bit of everything
F C F C
And I�m no Hank Williams but I�m feeling his pain
F C Bb Am G
Strung out on a highway somewhere between comfort and shame
C Am F G C Am F G
Oh and its getting hard to see, its getting hard to see
I ain�t got a new car, no mansion on a hill
Just a three bedroom house and whole bunch of bills
Its hard to get rich when everyone wants a cut
And all the family and friends they keep hitting you up
For cash � aww, the money burns too fast
My wife�s worried sick, afraid that I won�t be true
She�s seen all the movies, know what the highway can do
But I made a promise, praying my soul to keep
So that my little boy won�t be ashamed of me one day
Lord, keep these pretty girls away
Well I�m no Hank Williams but I�m feeling his pain
Stretched out in a back seat, a good man driven to drink
Oh and its getting hard to see
Bridge:
F C Bb F
All That I Wanted was my chance to provide
Dm C Bb G
A song for the ages to leave some good work behind
I�m no role model, I�ve got more problems than most
Some have 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 cause I�m no where near prepared
But I�ve got a foot in the door and one in the rain
I'm standing on the threshold of fortune and fame
I�ve got no way of knowing how its gonna end
I could be shut in or shut out, I guess it all depends on you
Well they think I�m cool
But I�m no Hank Williams
No I�m no Hank Williams
But I�m feeling his pain
