Well I travelled halfway round the world to Nashville Tennessee
To hear the son of Luke the Drifter pick and sing for me
I'd waited half my life to hear Hank Jr's country show
But I didn't count on meeting you in the 42nd row
CHORUS 1
Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
I asked could I buy you a drink and we went out by the stage
Well you came from Alabama and you talked that Southern way
And honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
He was singing Hey Good Lookin' and the crowd were going wild
But all I saw were blue eyes when you looked at me and smiled
Now I still love Bocepheous I'm a big fan through and through
But we left Hank and the Bama band, and I went on home with you
CHORUS 1
Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
I asked could I buy you a drink and we went out by the stage
Well you came from Alabama and you talked that Southern way
And honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
CHORUS 2
Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
Somehow we got tangled up out behind the stage
Well you came from Alabama and you talked that Southern way
Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
I'm so glad we got together
But you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
To hear the son of Luke the Drifter pick and sing for me
I'd waited half my life to hear Hank Jr's country show
But I didn't count on meeting you in the 42nd row
CHORUS 1
Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
I asked could I buy you a drink and we went out by the stage
Well you came from Alabama and you talked that Southern way
And honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
He was singing Hey Good Lookin' and the crowd were going wild
But all I saw were blue eyes when you looked at me and smiled
Now I still love Bocepheous I'm a big fan through and through
But we left Hank and the Bama band, and I went on home with you
CHORUS 1
Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
I asked could I buy you a drink and we went out by the stage
Well you came from Alabama and you talked that Southern way
And honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
CHORUS 2
Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
Somehow we got tangled up out behind the stage
Well you came from Alabama and you talked that Southern way
Honey you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
I'm so glad we got together
But you're the reason I never saw Hank Jr play
