Knight, Chris - Hard Edges Lyrics
Lisa used to love to dance
Ever since she was ten years old
Her bare feet raising dust on a yard
Where the grass wouldn't grow
To the music playing in her head
Late at night it could almost drown out
The whiskey on her old man's breath
The wrecking yards and dingy bars
And abandoned factories
But down among the jagged souls
A ballerina sways unseen
Hard edges hide a tender heart
Hard edges hide the sweetest part
Till you'd never know it's there
Lisa's in a club downtown
Where the neon burns till dawn
She calls herself Tina now
But she dances to the same old songs
Slowly spinning round and round
In the smoke and the smell of rye
She takes off all her clothes
So they don't see down in her eyes
The scarlet rouge and blue tattoos
Are only painted on
But underneath the dark drumbeat
A ballerina dances on
Hard edges hide a tender heart
Silent as a midnight prayer
Hard edges hide the sweetest part
Till you never know it's there

I've been done with Nashville for years, because this is how Country music should sound.
amen to that. Im so disgusted with Trashville these days.
Hank III
I give all of his songs a blue ribbon. How he hasn't hit the big times I don't know unless he chose not to. And if that is the case, can't say that I blame him. Music Row went to hell in a handbasket.

This guy is great...its a shame thus stuff doesn't get radio play
I just found out about this guy on pandora through hank III radio. I love this shit
Me as well.
