Take It from Hank
Kolby Cooper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't think she's gonna turn around this time
I said some things i didn't mean
No i never meant to cross that line
But i did i feel bad and now she's gone
Whish i could crawl into an old school country song

And take it from hank
Grab a bar stool and a glass and pour a drink
Let every line of stone cold truth that he ever sang
Cut you deep straight to the bone
Slow you down and make you think
Yeah take it from hank

I don't know just why i do the things I do
Yeah i've always been the kind that never really cared
But when you told me you had all you could stand
I felt bad, it wasn't right how i did you wrong
Whish i could crawl into an i'm so sorry song

And take it from hank
Grab a bar stool and a glass and pour a drink
Let every line of stone cold truth that he ever sang
Cut you deep straight to the bone
Slow you down and make you think
Yeah take it from hank

I'm so lonesome i could cry
Cheating heart i saw the light
Yeah those songs just tell it like it is

And take it from hank
Grab a bar stool and a glass and pour a drink
Let every line of stone cold truth that he ever sang
Cut you deep straight to the bone
Slow you down and make you think




Make you think
Yeah take it from hank
