Hank Williams' Guitar Lyrics - Freddie Hart

I walked into country music's Hall of Fame 

An old guitar hung on the wall that wore Hank Williams' name 

As I stood and wondered what a sight to see 

I'll swear I heard Hank's old guitar start to talk to me 

My friend you're looking at old lonely soul 

While these mem'ries locked inside of me that's worth much more than gold 

Oh we were closer than friends could ever be 

Everything we did we did together in perfect harmony 

I would remember one night up in a hotel room 

To look upon his face you'd thing that his whole world was doom 

But as I stood there in the corner I could see 

That a song would soon be born tonight oh he reached his hand for me 

And he held me like a man would hold his girl 

I was a closest thing to him in his lonely world 

I could fill a story begging of release 

That night we wrote Your Cheatin' Heart another masterpiece 

Yeah we wrote so many songs just like this 

And we're proud to know that we gave to world just a little more happiness 

Hank told me just before he went away 

Oh buddy I'd like to take you with me but this time you will have to stay
