Hank Williams Jr. - Shadow Face Lyrics






Shadow face a little boy out on the stage
Oh his daddy sings and plays 'em another song
Shadow face now his daddy's gone away
And his mother says son you must carry on

Shadow face you're much too young to take his place
You'll be walking in his shadow for so long for so long
Shadow face oh they say you're a disgrace
With your hair and beard and singing strange new songs
Shadow face son you and your friends better slow down the pace
Or you're gonna burn yourselves out before long

Who ever told you what you could and could not do
Oh you get so tired of being told you're wrong
But some of my friends are gone

Better days hear your songs on the hit parade
Now they tell you we were behind you all the way yeah
Shadow face boy don't you let it all go to waste
You've seen so many fall who thought they had it made

Shadow face you're much happier these days
Does a smile really look so out of place
Here on shadow face right here on shadow face

    This guy has lived through things i can only imagine. Wrote songs that made me feel happy, sad, pissed off & reflective. He fell down a mountain, yes a mountain. Nearly died, scarred up face, hence the beard to obcure his scars.

    Actually, that's not exactly what the song is about. My grandmother wrote that song as a poem to Hank jr. It's about after he fell off a cliff and wears sunglasses and that's why it says "shadow face". We don't care who believes it. It's true. We used that song at her funeral a few weeks ago in rememberance of her weighting that.

    D.... B....

    Really?? Hands down my favorite Hank song. Do you have a copy of the original poem? Is it word for word the same?

  8. J.... H....

    hank is the best at singing rock, blues,country it doesn't matter that's one of the reasons he's my all time favorite the best there ever was with out a doubt.

    as a young girl, I used to listen to country music all the time. Now I almost cannot bear to hear it, except a few beautiful songs like this. I am a fan of extreme metal, classic rock, and classical music
