Standing In The Shadows

• D

  D                                G        D 
I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate 
   D                          E7               A7 
Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can 
      G                       D 
After all I'm standing in the shadows 
     A    G      D 
Of a very famous man 
 
 
As I travel around from town to town 
I have a lot of dad's fans and friends come around 
They say I know Hank would be proud of you if he were here today 
Now well we're all so glad and we know he would be too 
That you're carryin' on his music this way 
Yes they say Hank was the all time great 
And we know you'll be just as good as your dad 
But I just smile and say there'll never be another Hank Williams friends 
That's the part that always makes them sad 
 
Yes I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate 
Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can 
It's hard standing in the shadows 
Of a very famous man 
 
So many times when I'm on that stage I feel something go through me 
And for a minute I'm in a different world and that's when it does something to me 
The people are a hollering and clapping real aloud 
While I'm out they're taking my bows 
 
I look up toward the ceiling and I say to myself listen dad just listen to that crowd 
But as the show goes on the people clap and holler more 
I start singing another of your great songs 
That's the time that I know although you're gone your music will live on and on and on
