I'd of kept him up all night
I wouldn't let hip close his eyes
Made him sing I saw the light
'til he sobered up again
I'd of kept his coffee strong
Oh I could have kept him hangin' on
If I'd of been in the back
Of Hank's Cadillac
Got a bid no higher by the marnat
Hank you got to get up on that stage
You can't let all those good people down
It just ain't right, To book a show
And not show up to play
I'd of kept him up all night
I wouldn't let hip close his eyes
Made him sing I saw the light
'til he sobered up again
I'd of kept his coffee strong
Oh I could have kept him hangin' on
If I'd of been in the back
Of Hank's Cadillac
When his hands started tremblin' and his body turnin' cold and death atarted tuggin at his soul
I'd of felt one of his songs playin' on that AM radio
Held him tight and begged him not to go
I'd of held him tight and begged him not to go
He'd of lived to play more songs
I could of kept him hangin on
If I'd of been in the back of Hanks Cadillac
