Testo Me & Hank & Jumpin' Jack Flash - Marty Stuart
Testo della canzone Me & Hank & Jumpin' Jack Flash (Marty Stuart), tratta dall'album This One's Gonna Hurt You
Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven
Oh, what a beautiful sight
St. Peter come up to me and he said
"Marty, now who do you want to see?"
So I began to think
I said, "Why don't you call up old Hank Williams
And see if he's free?
'Cause Hank saw the world from a Cadillac
And he carried them lovesick blues right on his back"
Oh yeah
As sure as I was dreamin', as sure as I was born
Around my neck came this long skinny arm
And he said, "Howdy, hoss, my name is Hank
Now what brings you here?"
So I began to think
I said, "Hank, brother, you've seen it all
You've seen 'em come and go, you've seen 'em rise and fall
And right now country music's got more singers
Than I believe I've ever seen
So many people gotta follow out their dream
But I feel different," I said
"'Cause I'm a natural born cat
I'm country to the bone but I don't wear no hat"
Oh no, two, three
He said, "It started with Lester back in '72
All I wanted to be was a little different like him and you"
He said, "Well now, it just takes a little longer to make it
If you're different, I guess
But you just sing what's in your heart
And God's gonna do the rest
Just be what you are at all times
And just tell them folks out there the truth
And that ain't gonna cost you a dime
But now if you're playin' to be different, son
You're just rollin' the dice
And you know you ain't the first one to pay that price
'Cause there was me and Elvis, there was Bo Cephus too
There was Waylon and Willie and there was Bill Monroe
And I guess you know all about old Johnny Cash
And I think what the world needs right now
Is a jumpin' Jack Flash"
Up in hillbilly heaven I saw Keith Whitley
I saw Patsy Cline
I saw Reba McEntire's band
They were all friends of mine
And I began to tremble and I began to look
I knew I was dreamin' but I just couldn't wake up
Then out of nowhere came this long Cadillac
The driver said, "Come on now, Hank, we gotta take you back
Thirty minutes before your next show
You're runnin' behind so we gotta go"
He said, "Marty, I tell you what you do
You just go on back down there and you make us proud
And remember wherever you go
There's a little hillbilly in every crowd"
And he got in that old car and he drove off slow
But right here is what he said before he shut that door
