Add. Lyrics
It was 2 am in Nashville and the Ryman Stage was bare
There was just a lot of memories from the Opry being there
In the stillness of the morning in a cold December wind
And the Ghost of Hank Williams plays "Your Cheatin Heart" again
Chorus
There's a DJ in Ohio that recalls that New Years Day
When he had to tell the nation tha his singer passed away
Sometimes when it's late at night he'll let some records spin
And the ghost of Hank Williams sings "Your Cheatin Heart" again
