Well I travelled halfway round the world to Nashville, Tennessee 
                                    D5                 G5        
To hear the son of Luke the Drifter pick and sing for me. 
    C5                                             F5 
I'd waited half my life to hear Hank Jr's country show, 
                      C5                  G5    C5    
But I didn't count on meeting you in the 42nd row. 
 
 
      C5                          F5           C5 
Honey, you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play, 
                                       D5               G5 
I asked could I buy you a drink and we went out by the stage. 
         C5                         F5                    C5 
Well you came from Alabama and you talked that Southern way, 
         F5           C5              G5           C5 
And honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play.

He was singing Hey Good Lookin' and the crowd were going wild, 
                                      Eb5               Ab5 
But all I saw were blue eyes when you looked at me and smiled.

                         Db5               Ab5                Db5  
But we left Hank and the Bama band, and I went on home with you.
