"Won't Find Me Anymore" lyrics

Might not know my name, but you sure recognize me
Been cut and changed, rearranged, but the fire still burns inside me
I talked about our freedoms, the man who works everyday
I been the voice that broke a million hearts
With the words you couldn't say

'Cause I was in Austin back in '74, and Nashville back before the war
I've been to Hawaii with Willie hiding from the law
They kept me alive in those dark days
In the honky-tonks with the dive-smoke haze
When life and love gets hard, it comes from the heart

But you won't find me much anymore
Oh, no, you won't find me much anymore

I started off in the backwoods, seen my name up in lights
I sound just fine about myself, but you should hear me electrified
You might think I'm weaker for the weight that I must bear
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
I'm 'onna give till there's nothing left

I was in Austin back in '74, and Nashville back before the war
I've been to Hawaii with Willie hiding from the law
They kept me alive in those dark days
In the honky-tonks with the dive-smoke haze
When life and love gets hard, it comes from the heart

But you won't find me much anymore
Oh, no, you won't find me much anymore

My friends are slowly fading, Waylon and Johnny too
Like Billie Joe says, "We'll live forever, but these song we leave for you"

I was in Austin back in '74, and Nashville back before the war
I've been to Hawaii with Willie hiding from the law
They kept me alive in those dark days
In the honky-tonks with the dive-smoke haze
When life and love gets hard, it comes from the heart

But you won't find me much anymore
Woah, no, you won't find me much anymore
