[Verse 1]
D G D
There's hip hop beats at the Opry, I never thought I'd see the day
A
There's rappers wearing cowboy hats, it didn't used to be that way
D G D
I reckon that's the way it's gone and it's somethin' I can't be
A D
It doesn't sound like country, it don't look like Tennessee
[Chorus]
D
Well, it's a long way back to Hank
A
It's a far cry to that old steel guitar twang
D G
It's too far to turn around, I think
D A D
It's a long way back to Hank
[Verse 2]
D G D
Steel guitars and smoky bars is somethin' from yesterday
A
But there's still hillbillies cuttin' rugs and livin' the American way
D G D
This downtown Nashville music, well, that just ain't my jam
A D
I miss them old twin fiddles and the sound from Alabam
[Chorus]
D
Well, it's a long way back to Hank
A
It's a far cry from that old steel guitar twang
D G
It's too far to turn around, I think
D A D
It's a long way back to Hank
[Instrumental]
D G D A
D G D A D
[Chorus]
D
It's a long way back to Hank
A
And it's a far cry to that old steel guitar twang
D G
It's too far to turn around, I think
D A D G
And it's a long way back to Hank
D A D
Yeah, it's a long way back to Hank
