Hank Williams died when I was five
He sang I'll never get out of this world alive
G
Now it's been a long time since I was that kid
D
And I've seen a lot more than Hank ever did
A
I've done the down and out in every dark end dive
D
But I'll never get out of your love alive
D
Sam Coke met the woman at the well
She told him that his song was something he could never sell
G
And I think he knew a change was gonna come
D
Still he lived too fast and he died too young
A
Well dying young I have survived
D
But I'll never get out of your love alive
G
I got washed in the blood of Bill Monroe
D
When he sang about the the blues in the body and soul
G
He believed in a God that could raise the dead
D
Still it's a mighty dark night to travel he said
A
I've seen a mighty dark night and I made that drive
D
But I'll never get out of your love alive
SOLO
D
Robert Johnson had a hellhound on his trail
Drove him to the coffin like a hammer and a nail
G
It takes a powerful man to carry that load
D
When your trying to beat the devil to the old crossroads
A
I wrestled the devil lived to testify
D
But I'll never get out of your love alive
I'll never get out of your love alive
I'll never get out of your love alive
I'll never get out of your love alive
