D

[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
