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      I walked out of country music's Hall of Fame   Still I can hear Hank's old guitar crying all in vain   Like a child has lost I heard its mournful cry   Hank I'm so lonesome I could die
