it was by david alan coe. i think the title was "the ride"
"you don't have to call me mister,mister.the whole world calls me Hank"
Tim McGraw - The Ride
He's the latest to do it but David Allen Coe and Hank Williams Jr did it, too.
I was thumbin' back from Montgomery
with a guitar on my back
When a stranger pulled up beside me in an antique Cadillac.
Well, he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hallow eyed
Its a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son.
He sat down in the front seat, and turned on the radio
and them sad old songs comin' outta them speakers was solid country gold.
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale when he asked me for a light.
And knew there was somethin' strange about this ride.
[CHORUS:]
He said: Mister can you make folks cry when you play and sang.
Can you pay your dues, can you moan the blues
Can you bend them guitar strangs.
He said: Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside,
Cause if your big star bound let me warn you its a long hard ride.
Well, he cried just south of Nashville, and he turned that car around.
he said: [spoken] this is where you get off, boy
cause I'm going back to Alabam'.
I stepped out of that ole Cadillac and I said Mister, many thanks.
he said you don't have to call me mister, Mister.
The whole world calls me Hank.
The Ride by David Allen Coe
*(note to DAVE B)** Tall Dark Stranger was Buck Owens
was there one called Tall dark Stranger,or something like that?
The Ride by David Allan Coe
The Ride by David Allen Coe, written by Gary Gentry, great writer out of Nashville, TN. Hank Williams, Jr. also recorded it and made the writer lots of dough. It's one of my all time country favorites.
The Caveman is correct it is "The Ride" by David Allan Coe.
Another song from many years back was by Jack Cardwell titled" The Life Of Hank Williams"
i think it's called the ride by david allan coe or someone
It's call the ride the most famous version is David Allen Coe but there is also a version by Tim Mcgraw
DAVID ALLAN COE-THE RIDE-TRUST ME. you don't have to call me mr., mr. the whole world calls me HANK!!
