The story of Hank, who rekindled my love for the 4th of July.

It was a long drive in from the country
I was takin' a 48
two days from the kids and the gongs
and the campfire songs
so tired I could not see straight
Went out behind the New Morning
to get myself drunk and fed
And I'm settlin' down on a fireside log
when this woman, she turned my head
when she said
My name's Henry
yeah it was a girl named Henry
and I met her on the 4th of July

She's got green stuff growin' in her garden
she's got rhythm and she's got blues
Got a smile that'll tear your heart apart
and got ribbons on her dancin' shoes
She's got beads and books and things to cook
as far as the eye can see
And somewhere I got to lovin' her
between whisky and good company
and that's Henry
yeah that's my girl named Henry
and I met her on the 4th of July

Now I've moved on from Kentucky
300 miles away
But me and my baby when we roll through town
always know just where we'll stay
We stay with Henry
yeah with my girl named Henry
and I'll tell you right now
it's the only way to fly
We stay with Henry
yeah with my girl named Henry
And I met her on the 4th of July

God Bless Hank…
