• Between God & The Bottle

He drove you for miles in a
Brand new cadillac
Doped up on beer
And the drugs for your back
The whole world smiled
When you started to sing
Ain't it strange how much joy
All that pain could bring?

But his heart sunk
As the cops pulled him over
He'd been driving so fast
And you were so very far from sober
You'd better open the trunk
Was what the fat cop said
The skinny fella's not drunk
The skinny fella's dead.

Between God and the bottle
Lies a lonely world of pain
All those barbiturates and the Bible
Finally drove your heart insane
As if with each song you gave us
You were cutting short your life
Torn between God and the bottle
Your women and your wife.

Each line that you wrote
Bared a part of your soul
They'd call it 'Country And Western'
But your heart was pure Rock And Roll
And God doesn't mind that the angels
Ditched the harps for a pedal steel
'Cuz he like his praises in heaven
Sung with a country feel

-LETTER FROM FRED ROSE TO HANK WILLIAMS-

Between God and the bottle
Lies a lonely world of pain
All those barbiturates and the Bible
Finally drove your heart insane
As if with each song you gave us
You were cutting short your life
Torn between God and the bottle
Your women and your wife.

As if with each song you gave us
You were cutting short your life
I just pray, somehow, in all that darkness
You really saw the light.
