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
Though 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
I'm 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 the highway
Somewhere between comfort and shame
Oh and it's getting hard to see
It's getting hard to see
I ain't got a new car, no mansion on the hill
Just a three bedroom house and a whole bunch of bills
It's hard to get rich when everyone wants a cut
And all your family and friends they keep hitting you up for cash
All the money burns too fast
And my wife's worried sick afraid that I won't be true
She's seen all the movies knows what the highway can do
But I made a promise praying my soul to keep
So that my little boys won't be ashamed of me one day
Lord keep these pretty girls away
I'm no Hank Williams
But I'm feeling his pain
Stretched out in the backseat
A good man driven to drink
Oh and it's getting hard to see
All that I wanted
Was my chance to provide
A song for the ages
To leave a good word behind
I'm no role model I got more problems than most
Mama 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 nowhere near prepared
I got a foot in the door and one in the rain
I'm standing on the threshold of fortune and fame
I got no way of knowing how it's gonna end
I could be shut in or shut out I guess it all depends on you
Whether you think I'm cool
But I'm no Hank Williams
No I'm no Hank Williams
