I wish I'd been there
When Hank Williams came to town
Some songs were sad and some were glad
But all of them sounded proud
How they yelled like a cowboy
How it got so wild and lout
I wish I'd had been there
When Hank Williams came to town

Wish I'd seen those driftin' cowboys
When they came to town
Hear that pedal still
Ridin' through the crowd

To fill that face so big and round
As ol' Hank sang loud and proud
I wish I'd been there 
When Hank Williams came to town

If I could have heard those lonesome grooves
When Hank had came to town
Standin' there in his cowboy suit
His Stetson on his head like a crown
Guitar on his shoulder
Making his lonesome sounds
I wish I'd been there
When Hank Williams came to town

If I could have heard those lonesome grooves
When Hank had came to town
Standin' there in his cowboy suit
His Stetson on his head like a crown
Guitar on his shoulder
Making his lonesome sounds
I wish I'd been there
When Hank Williams came to town

Hank's long gone and how I miss him
But his songs live for us now
His country blues and his hillbilly tunes
And his lost highway sound
I'll go Alabama some night
Yeah, I'll be there in the crowd
I wish I'd been there
When Hank Williams came to town

I wish I'd been there
When Hank Williams came to town

Hank Williams came to town
