Hank Williams, Jr. - Shadow Face

Shadow face, a little boy out on the stage
Oh, his daddy sings and
Plays 'em another song
Shadow face, now his daddy's gone away
And his mother says, "Son
You must carry on"

Shadow face
You're much too young to take his place
You'll be walkin' in his
Shadow for so long, for so long
Shadow face, oh they say you're a disgrace
With your hair and beard and
Singin' strange new songs


Shadow face, son
You and your friends better
Slow down the pace
Or you're gonna burn yourselves
Out before long who ever told you
What you could and could not do?
Oh you get so tired of
Bein' told you're wrong

But some of my friends are gone, better days
Hear your songs on the hit parade
Now they tell you we were
Behind you all the way

Yeah, shadow face
Boy don't you let it all go to waste
You've seen so many fall who
Thought they had it made
Shadow face, you're much happier these days
Does a smile really look so out of place?

Here on shadow face
Right here on shadow face
