This ain't Montgomery and it ain't 1949
It's a very different world, and a differnet time
So I'm gonna do things the best way that I know how
Cause this ain't Montgomery and I ain't Hank Williams no how
People will give you what they think is real good advice
Listen to me son and you can make music your life
They just don't understand we can't do things like they did back then
Cause so much has changed it will never be that way again
And this ain't Montgomery, and it ain't 1952
And if old Hank were here i bet he'd be a lot different too
So I'm gonna do things the best way that I know how
Cause this ain't Montgomery and I ain't Hank Williams no how

(instrumental break)
This ain't Montgomery and it ain't 1953
The music is gone now but its gonna come back you'll see
Hank Williams is dead and he ain't coming back here again
I don't know where the music is going... But I know where it's been
