Hank Williams Died for Your Sins (intro)
Swank/Schultz 2001

There’s a Devil Inside, Each and every bottle
And redemption also lies within
It can help torture you, or it can HELP get your through
Hank Williams, he died for your sins

Each and every night, by a dim tavern light,
You are faced with decisions again.
But know that you’re not alone when you’re inside his home
Hank Williams, he died for your sins.

Now if you need consoling, be a hard-liquor pilgrim
At the church of perpetual neon.
Go and baptize your soul in the gospel as told
By Willie, Merle, George & John.

Don’t be swayed by the thoughts that the daylight might bring.
Don’t forget what resides deep within.
And if your soul don’t resound until the sun has gone down
Then Hank Williams, he died for your sins.

SOLO OUT

Fool For You
Swank 2002

Coulda Been a Lawyer, Making them cops leave all them kids alone.
Could been a radio man. Spinning some tunes and maybe talkin’ to folks on the phone.
It don’t matter what I mighta’ done, or what I might someday do,
Cause I’m just a fool for you.

Coulda’ been a soldier, but I ain’t never been much on bein’ told what to do
Coulda’ been a preacher-man, another false prophet for folks to send their money too.
It don’t matter what I might become, ‘cause what it boils down to,
Is that I’m just a fool for you.

SOLO

A fool who bends over backwards, just to make your day.
A fool who’s gonna make mistakes, but you love him anyway
I still feel the same after all these years and after all that we been through
And I’m-just a fool-for you.

Oh Girl, I’m-just a fool-for you.

Same Ol’ Feelin
Swank 2001

You find yourself standing right square in the middle of a place that you ain’t never been.
Fighting between full blown exhaustion and elation from speeding again.

You just catch your breath and get back in your body when somebody catches your eye.
You’d a said never, till she came on over. Now you’re sayin that you’ll never know why.

There’s a dream, blowin right past me.
There’s a girl, with that come hither grin
There’s a man who says he can save me.
Here’s that same ol feelin again.

SOLO

There’s a place where we’re aiming and most time’s we pass it
Without ever stopping to see.
That what we’d been after wasn’t what we’d been needing
Or was it something that was just out of reach.

She might say she’ll miss me and she might even kiss me
or just give me the wink of an eye.
While having no option about great indecision
Too happy or too sad to cry.

There’s a dream, blowin right past me.
There’s a girl, with that come hither grin
There’s a man who says he can save me.
Here’s that same ol feelin again.
Here’s that same ol feelin again.

Just Tell Her I Loved Her
Swank 97

I leave the house at night, hoping she might be.
At our favorite night spot or maybe even lookin for me.
I know she’s only human, and we’ve all got desires
You gotta live for the moment. Man, ya gotta dance through the fires.

She wouldn’t hear talk of romance. Wouldn’t agree to a date.
But sometimes she’d come home with me if we were out drinkin late.
I know she knows I like her, but she don’t know the degree.
To her I’m just another weekender and then she’s gonna let me be.

Just tell her I loved her, After I’ve gone away.
My heart can’t win, at the games that she likes to play.
I know I’m way too serious and I know that’s what she’d say.
Won’t you tell her I loved her, After I’ve gone away.

SOLO

I call up and then hang up. I drive over then by.
Buy her lot’s of pretty flowers but they never seem to catch her eye.
But all she gotta do is touch me, and it’s all good again.
But I don’t wanna hear the answer, to where the hell have you been.

Yeah, Just tell her I loved her, After I’ve gone away.
My heart can’t take it if I can’t have it every single day. 
She could never be tied down and I know that’s what she’d say.
Won’t you tell her I loved her, After I’ve gone away.
Yeah, please tell her I loved her, After I’ve gone away.

Wait Until I Get My Hands On You
Swank 98

My heart starts to pounding, each time I pick up the phone.
I’m praying to god that, you’re at home all alone.
A few stolen moments, on the telephone wire
Could help bridge the distance, that’s holding this fire.

But I’m getting restless, to hold you once more.
And crave the love, that we had once before
The only thing holding me back, is the distance in miles
But I’d go three times around the world just to see you smile.

Wait until I get my hands on you.
You won’t consider anyone but me by the time I’m through.
The reason you’re resistin’, is cause you don’t know what you’re missin’.
Darlin’ Wait….Until I get my hands on you.

SOLO

They’ll be no more delaying or try to deny
Where you really ought to be when you look into my eyes.
You’ll see it’s pointless to resist all my charms.
You’ll be mine once I got you here in my arms.

Wait until I get my hands on you.
You won’t consider anyone but me by the time I’m through.
The reason you’re resistin’, is cause you don’t know what you’re missin’.
Darlin’ Wait….(X4) Until I get my hands on you.

Tomorrow’s Just A Train Wreck Away
Swank 2003

Well I’ll drink rot-gut whiskey and piss warm beer.
Death don’t worry me none. No, that pain is all I fear.
I’m living to the end, but I’ll not count the days.
Cause tomorrow’s just a train-wreck away.

I’m dancing rail to rail, around the corner, down the track.
Theres a few folks that have joined me, but the rest are standing back.
She could jump the tracks right before our eyes just the same as she could stay
Tomorrow’s just a train wreck away.

SOLO

Some say you can’t smoke reefer everyday
They say “Man, the body just ain’t made to work that way”.
But I don’t give a good god damn what those people say
Cause tomorrow’s just a train-wreck away.

I’m dancing rail to rail, around the corner tempting fate.
See you could live right every single day and then get caught at the gate.
She could jump the tracks right before our eyes just the same as she could stay.
Tomorrow’s just a train wreck away.
Tomorrow’s just a train wreck away.
Yeah, this could be your last rainy day.

Sittin Here Drinkin A Beer
Swank 2000

I’m sittin here drinkin a beer and thinking ‘bout you.
I’m so doggone lonesome that I don’t know what to do.
Your leavin left me sad and oh so blue.
Now I’m sittin here drinkin a beer and thinking bout you.

I can still recall the first time that you left me
It almost felt the pain would never end.
Then you came back this way and said it was to stay
And then we started on that roller coaster once again.

I’m sittin here drinkin a beer and thinking ‘bout you.
I’m so doggone lonesome that I don’t know what to do.
Your leavin left me sad and oh so blue.
Now I’m sittin here drinkin a beer and thinking bout you.

I can still recall the last time that I saw you.
On your lips a smile and in my eyes a tear.
It wouldn’t be so bad, I guess I wouldn’t feel so sad
If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve left 5 times this year.

Now I’m sittin here drinkin a beer and thinking ‘bout you.
I’m so doggone lonesome that I don’t know what to do.
Your leavin left me sad and oh so blue.
Now I’m sittin here drinkin a beer and thinking bout you.

Better Than Being Alone
Swank 97

She was a long, dark-haired beauty and the wind, well it danced in her eyes.
Did some pretty big livin’ for a girl that was only her size.
Now the wind’s blown away all the passion that she once had known.
She coulda done better but it’s better than bein’ alone.

Once she had dreams but they spilled over into her sleep.
When he’s found his slumber, she’s lying awake county sheep.
Well he seemed like a winner, but now it seems like he’s always gone.
She coulda done better but it’s better than bein’ alone.

Well together is what she had wanted, but why now she just can’t recall.
Love may have found it’s way into her life, but she never quite managed to fall.
So she shoved back the thoughts of a frightening world on her own.
She coulda done better but it’s better than bein’ alone.

SOLO

Well he staggers in blindly, wreaking of perfume and gin.
Then he passes out there on the couch, and he throws up again.
God she hates vodka, but it’s the only drink left in their home.
And She coulda done better but it’s better than bein’ alone.

She doesn’t know better, it’s the only life she’s ever known.
And She coulda done better but it’s better than bein’ alone.

Hank Williams Died for My Sins (Reprise)
Schultz/ Swank 2001

My soul is for sale but ain’t nobody buyin’.
They say the hillbilly sound’s wearing thin.
But I don’t give a damn, cause I’m a honky tonk man
And Hank Williams he died for my sins.

A Bottle a day keeps my baby away,
At least latey that’s just how it’s been
But it don’t get me blue, I know you lived through it too.
Hank Williams, you died for my sins

Now when I need consoling, I’m a hard-liquor pilgrim
At the church of perpetual neon.
And I’ll baptize my soul in the gospel as told
By Willie, Merle, George & John.
Then a Honky Tonk angel she lites next to me
And whispers “Baby, you could sure use a friend.”
I say There’s no friends in here, but I’ll buy you a beer,
Cause Hank Williams, he died for our sins.

SOLO

I woke up alone. She had packed up and gone.
Wrote in lipstick Baby You Win Again.
I don’t know that she’s lyin’, I only know that I’m cryin’
Hank Williams, you died for my sins

Now when I need consoling, I’m a hard-liquor pilgrim
At the church of perpetual neon.
And I’ll baptize my soul in the gospel as told
By Willie, Merle, George & John.
Then a Honky Tonk angel slides up next to me
And whispers “Baby, you could sure use a friend.”
I say There’s no friends in here, but I’ll buy you a beer,
Cause Hank Williams, he died for our sins.
Hank Williams, he died for our sins.
