| Hank Williams, he came up from Montgomery
| Hank Williams, vino de Montgomery
|
| With a heartful of broken country songs
| Con un corazón de canciones country rotas
|
| Nashville Tennessee didn’t really understand him
| Nashville Tennessee realmente no lo entendió
|
| Cause he did things differently than the way that they were done
| Porque hizo las cosas de manera diferente a la forma en que se hicieron
|
| When he finally made it to the Grand Ol Opry he made it stand still
| Cuando finalmente llegó al Grand Ol Opry, hizo que se detuviera
|
| He ended up on alcohol and pills
| Terminó con alcohol y pastillas.
|
| Elvis Presley, he came up from Jackson
| Elvis Presley, vino de Jackson
|
| With a brand new way of singin' and a brand new way of dancin'
| Con una nueva forma de cantar y una nueva forma de bailar
|
| And even from the waist up Lord he gave the world a thrill
| E incluso de la cintura para arriba Señor le dio al mundo una emoción
|
| He ended up on alcohol and pills
| Terminó con alcohol y pastillas.
|
| Alcohol and pills, is a cryin' shame
| Alcohol y pastillas, es una vergüenza
|
| You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
| ¿Crees que podrían haber sido felices con la gloria y la fama?
|
| But fame doesnt take away the pain, it only pays the bills
| Pero la fama no quita el dolor, solo paga las cuentas
|
| And you wind up on alcohol and pills
| Y terminas en alcohol y pastillas
|
| Janis Joplin, she was wild and reckless
| Janis Joplin, era salvaje e imprudente
|
| Then there was Graham Parsons, Lord, and then there was Jimmy Hendrix
| Luego estaba Graham Parsons, Lord, y luego estaba Jimmy Hendrix
|
| The story just goes on and on and I guess it always will
| La historia sigue y sigue y supongo que siempre lo hará.
|
| They ended up on alcohol and pills
| Terminaron en alcohol y pastillas
|
| Chorus
| Coro
|
| Sometimes somebody just doesn’t wake up one day
| A veces alguien simplemente no se despierta un día
|
| Sometimes it’s a heart attack, sometimes they just don’t say
| A veces es un ataque al corazón, a veces simplemente no dicen
|
| They pulled poor old Hank Wlliams out of a Cadillac CoupeDeVille
| Sacaron al pobre Hank Wlliams de un Cadillac CoupeDeVille
|
| He ended up on alcohol and pills
| Terminó con alcohol y pastillas.
