Your rating:
[Incomprehensible] Last night, I dreamed I went to Hillbilly Heaven Oh, what a beautiful sight St. Peter come up to me and he said "Marty, who do you want to see?", so I began to think I said, "Why don't you call up old Hank Williams and see if he's free?" 'Cause Hank saw the world from a Cadillac And he carried them 'Lovesick Blues' right on his back, oh yeah Sure as I was dreaming, sure as I was born Around my neck came this long, skinny arm And he said, "Howdy, Hoss, my name is Hank Now what brings you here?", so I began to think I said "Hank, brother, you've seen it all You've seen 'em come and go, you've seen 'em rise and fall And right now, country music's got more singers Than I believe I've ever seen" "So many people got to follow out their dream But I feel different", I said, "'Cause I'm a natural born cat I'm country to the bone, but I don't wear no hat" Oh, no, two three Said, "I started with Lester back in '72 All I want to be was a little different like him and you" He said, "Whoa, now, it just takes a little longer to make it If you're different, I guess But you just sing what's in your heart and God's gonna do the rest Just be what you are at all times And just tell the folks out there the truth And that ain't gonna cost you a dime But now, if you plan to be different, son, you're just rolling the dice And you know you ain't the first one to pay that price 'Cause there was me and Elvis and there was Bocephus too There was Waylon and Willie and there was Bill Monroe And I guess you know all about ol' Johnny Cash And I think what the world needs right now is a Jumpin' Jack Flash" Up in Hillbilly Heaven, I saw Keith Whitley, I saw Patsy Cline I saw Reba McEntire's band, they were all friends of mine And I began to tremble and I began look I knew I was dreaming, but I just couldn't wake up Then out of nowhere, came this long Cadillac The driver said, "Come on now, Hank we gotta take you back Thirty minutes before your next show We're running behind so we gotta go" He said, "Marty, I tell you what you do You just go on back down there and you make us proud And remember, wherever you go There's a little Hillbilly in every crowd" And he got in that old car and he drove off slow But right here, is what he said before he shut that door
