daddy had a 1949 ford

when i was just about ten years old

we would listen to hank and lefty on the radio

why don't you love like you used to do

and just look what thoughs will do

old hank and lefty raised my country soul

(chours)

now i learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes

listin to han sing the lovesick blues

we never met ol hank but we was awful close

cut my teeth on always late

and i love you a thousand ways

ol hank and lefty raised my country soul

(break)

daddy said the hair on his neck would crawl

when old hank sang about the light he saw

hank sure put a whole lot of heart in the songs he wrote

everytime daddy got a little bit tight

mom & dad's waltz would make him cry

old hank and lefty raised my country soul

(repeat chours)

old hank and lefty raised my country soul

old hank and lefty raised my country soul
