OLD HANK WILLIAMS HEART
Music & Lyrics By
JR Greely Copyright 2000 - 2025

I was born to an old Hank Williams life,
With a passion for music a little hate for strife.
I found love in a bottle and no happiness for me,
the liquor stole my thunder and left its misery.

CHORUS
I was born with an old Hank Williams heart,
With a mind that's cold, sad, and dark.
Drinkin' whiskey by the gallon to ease away the pain,
Never finding satisfaction, just a victim of its game.
I was born with an old Hank Williams heart.

The roads I’ve traveled are long and hard,
Each mile a story, each tale a battle scar.
My eyes are glazed and my guitar is worn,
Every minor chord I play I hear a dyin' Angels horn.

CHORUS
I was born with an old Hank Williams heart,
With a mind that's cold, sad, and dark.
Drinkin' whiskey by the gallon to ease away the pain,
Never finding satisfaction, just a victim of its game
I was born with an old Hank Williams heart.


BRIDGE
Was the best God could give me.....
an Old ..... Hank Williams heart.


CHORUS
I was born with an old Hank Williams heart,
With a mind that is cold, sad, and dark.
Drinkin' whiskey by the gallon to ease away the pain,
Never finding satisfaction, just a victim of its game.
I was born with an old Hank Williams heart.

[TAG]
Drinkin' whiskey by the gallon to ease away the pain,
Never finding satisfaction, just a victim of its game.
I was born with an Old Hank Williams heart.
