I'm No Hank Williams Lyrics - Singles - Corey Smith

"I'm No Hank Williams" by Corey Smith from the CD "Hard-Headed Fool" 

I got a foot in the door, and one in the rain 

I'm standing on the threshold of fortune and fame 

Out on a limb, I took that great leap of faith 

So I might crash and burn but I might fly away 

Who knows ... There's no telling what tomorrow holds 

And I ain't got a clue how I made it this far 

With a few country songs on an acoustic guitar 

I'm not too good looking and I'm painfully shy 

Not cut out for the spotlight, just an ordinary guy 

Who sings ... about a little bit of everything 

And I'm no Hank Williams but I'm feeling his pain 

Strung out on a highway somewhere between comfort and shame 

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 my little boys won't be ashamed of me one day 

Lord, keep these pretty girls away 

And 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 

All that I wanted (All...) ... was my chance to provide (my chance to provide...) 

A song for the ages (Awww...) ... leave some good work behind

I'm no role model, I've got more problems than most 

Momma 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 that I'm no where near prepared 

But I've got a foot in the door and one in the rain 

Not standing on the threshold of fortune and fame 

I've got no way of knowing how its gonna end 

I couldn't 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
