I'm No Hank Williams Lyrics

I got a foot in the door, and one in the rain
I�m standing on the threshold of fortune and fame
Out on a limb, I took that great leap of faith
So I might crash and burn but I might fly away
Who knows � There�s no telling what tomorrow holds
And I ain�t got a clue how I made it this far
With a few country songs on an acoustic guitar
I�m not too good looking and I�m painfully shy
Not cut out for the spotlight, just an ordinary guy
Who sings � about a little bit of everything

And I�m no Hank Williams but I�m feeling his pain
Strung out on a highway somewhere between comfort and shame
Oh and its getting hard to see, its getting hard to see

I ain�t got a new car, no mansion on a hill
Just a three bedroom house and whole bunch of bills
Its hard to get rich when everyone wants a cut
And all the family and friends they keep hitting you up
For cash � aww, the money burns too fast
My wife�s worried sick, afraid that I won�t be true
She�s seen all the movies, know what the highway can do
But I made a promise, praying my soul to keep
So my little boys won�t be ashamed of me one day
Lord, keep these pretty girls away

And I�m no Hank Williams but I�m feeling his pain
Stretched out in a back seat, a good man driven to drink
Oh and its getting hard to see
All that I wanted (All�) � was my chance to provide (my chance to provide�)
A song for the ages (Awww�) � leave some good work behind

I�m no role model, I�ve got more problems than most
Momma called me a genius, but hell I ain�t even close
A head full of questions, fumbling and stumbling around
Hell I couldn�t even tell you where I�ll be a few months from now
And I�m scared that I�m no where near prepared
But I�ve got a foot in the door and one in the rain
Not standing on the threshold of fortune and fame
I�ve got no way of knowing how its gonna end
I could be shut in or shut out � I guess it all depends on you

Well they think I�m cool

But I�m no Hank Williams
No I�m no Hank Williams
But I�m feeling his pain
