Fancy Boys (feat. Hayes Carll, James McMurtry & Dalton Domino)

In this false and soulless age We're all tied to a great white whale Blind faith and promises Are hanging on a rusty nail We all end up in Nashville Scrounging for our next meal When the devil's lawyer shows up Says, "Down here, it's a hell of a deal" Hank Williams died on New Year's day In a Cadillac Fleetwood And now fancy boys prance around on stages Where Waylon once stood An old preacher will appear Just before our last breath Saying, "Whoever believes the word They shall not taste death" Still we stutter and we stammer And we fall down on our knees As desperate as a real estate agent At the Salton Sea Hank Williams died on New Year's day In a Cadillac Fleetwood And now fancy boys prance around on stages Where Waylon once stood They say your life will flash before your eyes Before your soul takes leave And none but God can see your sins I guess that's some relief Before the last waltz is over A new song shall begin And the vandals brought the handle back So the pump works once again Hank Williams died on New Year's day In a Cadillac Fleetwood And now fancy boys prance around on stages Where Waylon once stood Where I'm going for my bad past I ain't gonna need a toothbrush It's gonna take than more than a soap in my mouth Like when mama first heard me cuss Willy said, "Roll him up and smoke him may be easier with a bong" Just throw my ashes in the face of Who's got this week's number one country song Hank Williams died on New Year's day In a Cadillac Fleetwood And now fancy boys prance around on stages Where Waylon once stood Now fancy boys prance around on stages Where Waylon once stood
