You wrote Your Cheatin' Heart about
A gal like my first ex wife
You Moan The Blues for me and for you
Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life

The Cold, Cold Heart and a doubtful mind
I have known a few myself
And the gal that loved me Half As Much
As she loved some body else

You wrote Your Cheatin' Heart about
A gal like my first ex wife
You Moan The Blues for me and for you
Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life

Well, I've heard that blue old whippoorwill too
And I've heard that Lonesome Whistle whine
And I know that feel, so cold, so real
When The Blues Come Around at midnight

We've never met and I know and yet
I know you well, My Friend
And if ever I get to heaven on high
I hope you'll shake my hand

You wrote Your Cheatin' Heart about
A gal like my first ex wife
You Moan The Blues for me and for you
Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life
