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      After all I'm standing in the shadows   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 to 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
