Hank On The Radio


2004 David James/Andrea C. Crimmins/Peter Renfree



Ten years ago I put my guitar away
Stuck it in the closet; left it there to stay
Somehow I'd lost the music in my soul
Then one day I heard Hank on the radio

And I wrote a little song
About a country boy who found his way back home
Of the lessons learned
From the sweet return to all the things he'd known
And the moral of the story is
Hold on to your dreams and don't let go...
Yeah, I owe it all to Hank on the radio
Hank on the radio

Well, I wrote it down and put it on CD
Mailed it all off to Nashville, Tennessee
And day by day I let my music flow
Then one day I heard Hank on the radio

And he sang a little song
About a country boy who found his way back home
Of the lessons learned
From the sweet return to all the things he'd known
And the moral of the story is
Hold on to your dreams and don't let go...
Yeah, I owe it all to Hank on the radio
Hank on the radio

Well, they called my name out; much to my surprise
Walked to the stage with teardrops in my eyes
And I shook the hand of the man who may not ever realize
That he gave me so much more than just a prize...

When he sang a little song
About a country boy who found his way back home
Of the lessons learned
From the sweet return to all the things he'd known
And the moral of the story is
Hold on to your dreams and don't let go...
Yeah, I owe it all to Hank on the radio

'Cos he sang a little song
About a country boy who found his way back home
Of the lessons learned
From the sweet return to all the things he'd known
And the moral of the story is
Hold on to your dreams and don't let go...
Yeah, I owe it all to Hank on the radio
Hank on the radio
I owe it all to Hank on the radio
Hank on the radio

Thanks Hank!
