lirik lagu thank you connersville indiana – tom t. hall
i rolled into connersville in 1961 with what was left of my last army pay
i had a letter with me from a buddy living there
he said you stop and see me if you’re ever up this way
need i say he was surprised to find me at his door
with what i guess you’d call a silly grin
he said where are you headed and i said i’m headed here
his mama said don’t stand there you’ll catch cold just come on in
they gave me room and board i paid a very modest fee
then i went looking for a place to play
if you’ve ever had a hat and didn’t wear one then you’ll know
the way a country singer made a living in those days
the menu printed on the window of the bar and grill
the man said we’re too small to have a band
i said well i’ll just pick and sing and p-ss my hat awhile
he said go right ahead but you just do the best you can
well, after seven hours of cheatin’ heart and wildwood flower
i had me seven dollars eighty cents
i gave it to a waitress who was gonna have a baby
she said she needed just that much to help her pay the rent
later on i formed a band and really hit the big time
ten bucks a night for working at the time
we worked through winter gardens and some other choice nightspots
looking back i have to say those were the good ole times
summer came and me and old mitch mitch-ll fished white river
and caught those big ole juicy channel cats
sometimes when i’m ridin’ on the jet plane going somewhere
i get to thinking that i’d like to live a life like that
so thank you connersville and thanks to you old indiana
you took me in when i knew slimmer days
i won’t forget you and i hope that you will not forget me
and you folks stop and see me if you’re ever down this way
