_ [A#] _ _ _ Speaking [N] of
You ever heard of him that he uh, he was a honky-tonk hero man, he was uh, he beat the black top down
Which I say in this song, but he uh, if anybody were to be the king of alabama
In my opinion in my day in my lifetime.
It was wayne was a big old tall fella played for alabama
He played for the tide.
Yeah, damien garrison used to open shows for him _ _ _ _ _
Last record he put out was called the last honky-tonk.
I mean, it's just he died the night of the george jones tribute show uh
He and shooter james and jamie and all went downtown on broadway or music road on broadway in nashville
_ [E] He died in a honky [F]-tonk.
It's terrible.
But uh, I wasn't gonna have the folks
I know [A#] in town in nashville without this [G] guy one of the meals you should look him up if you never heard of him
[E] and uh two days after he passed
He left behind a seven-year [A]-old son and a wife and I was thinking about
His son [E] because my wife was pregnant with our daughter our now three-year-old daughter
_ Really weighed heavy on my heart
_ _ and uh, I started writing this song then [Em] because
_ _ Our mutual buddy [G] adam hood if you've never heard of him, you [E] should look him up too.
He's a bad man [C#] adam hood
He uh, he's when [N] he would imitate lane mills.
He'd go i'm lane [E] mills by god.
I'm the king of alabama road tag _ _ _ _
Is
So when I started writing this [Em] song, I didn't know what I was gonna name it and then I
I remembered [B] adam saying that and so me and adam kind of finished it
But we just [Em] uh, I just got wayne's widow carol to give me permission to add
Jack [F] his son to as a co [E]-writer to this song
_ He's now 10 years old and uh, I would have never wrote it without thinking about him, you know, and this song is really [E] for
Just so he knows his daddy a little bit.
I know he did [G] but just uh, there was [F#] a few really terrible songs written about
So [E] I wasn't very good
