N.C.        G
Daddy had a 1949 Ford

                      C         G
When I was just about ten years old

         D                                  G
We would listen to Hank and Lefty on the radio

G
"Why Don't You Love Me (Like You Used to Do)"

                    C             D
And "Just Look What Thoughts Will Do"

                   D                 G
Ole Hank and Lefty raised my country soul
[Chorus]
                     D
Now I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes

          G              C        G
Listen to Hank sing the "Lovesick Blues"

                                       D
We never met ole Hank but we was awful close

       G
Cut my teeth on "Always Late"

And "I Love You a Thousand Ways"

                   D                 G
Ole Hank and Lefty raised my country soul

N.C.           G
Daddy said the hair on his neck would crawl

                             C        G
When ole Hank sang about the light he saw

     D                                             G
Hank sure put a whole lot of heart in the songs he wrote

G
Every time daddy got a little bit tight

                            C        G
"Mom and Dad's Waltz" would make him cry

                   D                 G
Ole Hank and Lefty raised my country soul
[Out-Chorus]
                     D
Now I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes

Listen to Hank sing the "Lovesick Blues"

                                       D

Cut my teeth on "Always Late"

And "I Love You a Thousand Ways"

                   D                 G
Ole Hank and Lefty raised my country soul

                   D                 G
Ole Hank and Lefty raised my country soul
