Ramblin' about, down through the south   I find things are a changing a lot   Especially me, it's easy to see   Montgomery's still hot and I'm not      I stopped by today at Hank William's grave   My hero from the days of my youth   Was that him or me that I used to be   In the times when I searched for the truth      Hank, you were my inspiration   And I was obsessed with your ways   But to tell you the truth   It's no thanks to you that I'm still living today      Hank, I still love your music   And in spite of the things I've just said   You'll always be a hero to me   But the Hank Williams syndrome is dead      The new hats are here and it's increasingly clear   Our day is slipping on by   They're not like me and you but that's alright too   They could keep the music alive      Hank, you were my inspiration   And I was obsessed with your ways   But to tell you the truth   It's no thanks to you that I'm still living today      Hank, I still love your music   And in spite of the things I've just said   You'll always be a hero to me   But the Hank Williams syndrome is dead
