The Last Time I Saw Hank

Intro: (x2) Verse: 1 Oh, the last time I saw Hank He was walking through a cornfield all alone He was looking kinda hungry Like a dog that buried but could not find the bone And I asked him, did he need a drink? He said, "Son, you can take that to the bank" Then I woke up in a cold sweat In this dream I call "The Last Time I Saw Hank" Verse: 2 Oh, the last time I saw George Jones Was a honky tonk on the road to Galveston I believe he was still drinking Must have been 1980, 1981 And you can feel the pain and sorrow As his words flew out and rose high then they sank Then a bottle broke though my windshield In this dream I call "The Last Time I Saw Hank" Bridge 1 Oh, the last time I saw Jesus He was walking up the hill of Calvary And he stumbled but he got some help From a man they call "Simon of Cyrene" I called out, "Jesus, I am drowning" He says, "It's no one drowns, 'cause I will walk the plank" And I woke up treading water In this dream I call "The Last Time I Saw Hank" Interlude: (x3) Verse: 3 Oh, the last time I saw my father He looked as if he'd just got out of jail And he said, "I'm gonna win it back" Like a man convinced somehow he had failed From the corn fields of Iowa To Hollywood and three months in the tank Oh, the great American dreamer In a dream I call "The Last Time I Saw Hank" Bridge 2 Oh, the last time I saw my mother Someone put a rose on her forehead Was this miracle or mockery? I'd scream, "She's asleep, she ain't really dead" And I sang my old song "Alkali" She opened up her eyes and then she winked And it all moved in a circle In this dream I call "The Last Time I Saw Hank" Interlude: Verse: 4 Oh, the last time I saw Hank He was walking through a cornfield all alone Outro: (x2)
