The Car Hank Died In
The Austin Lounge Lizards

D A
When the people come to Nashville, they walk the downtown streets,
A D
They see the car Hank died in, then they grab a bite to eat.
D A
They visit Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and Ernie’s record store,
G A D
Then they stagger on up to Music Row, where they holler at every door:

G D
I want to ride in the car Hank died in,
A
I want to stretch out in the back of that big ol’ Cadillac,
G A D
And ride that shiny car to every honky tonk and bar.

Now the barroom walls are shinin’, with the pictures of the stars
The pawnshop walls are cluttered with broken dreams and old guitars
The club rooms are filled with singers, their voices are full of pain,
Their songs are all ‘bout Nashville, and each sings the same refrain:

I want to ride in the car Hank died in

Now there’s empty space up on Opry Place, they tore the church house down,
And the choir’s run away with the circus to the tent show outside town
Where the air conditioned big top is all carpeted inside
You see ‘em sing their songs in the spotlight, where you’d never know they cried:

I want to ride in the car Hank died in
