[Chorus 1]
I'd have kept him uDp all night, I wouldn't let him Gclose his eyes
Made him sing "AI Saw the Light" 'til he sobered up aDgainA  
I'd have kept the coDffee strong, oh I could have kept him hGangin' on
If I'd have been Ain the back of GHank's Dcadillac
[Verse]
Gotta Bm7be in OhAio by tomorrow Gnight?
Hank you Bm7gotta get Aup on that staGge
You can'Bm7t let all tAhose good people down
No iGt just ain't right
To Embook a show and not show up to Aplay
[Chorus 2]
I'd have kept him uDp all night, I wouldn't let him Gclose his eyes
Made him sing "AI Saw the Light" 'til he sobered up aDgainA  
I'd have kept the coDffee strong, oh I could have kept him hGangin' on
If I'd have been Ain the back of GHank's Dcadillac
[Bridge]
When hBm7is hands started tGremblin' and his Dbody turnin' cold
And Bm7death started Gtuggin' at his DsouAl
I'd have Bm7found one of his songs pGlayin' on ADM radio
Held Emhim tight and bGegged him not to Ago
I'd have hEmeld him tight and bGegged him not to Ago
[Chorus 3]
I'd have kept him uDp all night, I wouldn't let him Gclose his eyes
Made him sing "AI Saw the Light" 'til he sobered up aDgainA  
I'd have kept the coDffee strong, oh I could have kept him hGangin' on
If I'd have been Ain the back of GHank's Dcadillac
[Outro]
He'd have lived to plDay more songs, oh I could have kept him hGangin' on
If I'd have been Ain the back of GHank's Dcadillac
