Owe Them More Than That

[Verse 1: Kenny Rogers]

Old Hank was a drifter passing through

He stayed long enough to cry the blues

Acquainted with the bottle

He knew the good Lord too

Hank was drifter passing through;

[Verse 2: Tim McGraw]

Lefty was an oil rigger's son

He felt every word he ever sung

And when it came to singing, Lord

He showed them how it's done;

Old Lefty was an oil rigger's son

[Chorus: Both]

They broke the ground

On the road that we go down today

Like a train whistle passing

Their voices are starting to fade

There are some who sing their praises

Others tip their hats

But it seems like we owe ‘em more than that

[Verse 3: Kenny Rogers]

Marty painted pictures with a song

El Paso made the whole world sing along

With the story of Felina and the cowboy in her arms

Marty painted pictures with a song

[Verse 4: Tim McGraw]

Waylon was the outlaw of our time

Not afraid to lay it on the line

He went against the grain

And he always spoke his mind

Waylon was the outlaw of our time

[Chorus: Both]

They broke the ground

On the road that we go down today

Like a train whistle passing

Their voices are starting to fade

There are some who sing their praises

Others tip their hats

But it seems like we owe ‘em more than that

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 4: Kenny Rogers, Tim McGraw, & Both]

There are some who sing their praises

Others tip their hats

But it seems like we owe ‘em more than that

Yeah it seems like we owe ‘em more than that

We all know we owe ‘em more than that

[Outo]

Yeah, we do
