Written by Gary Gentry and J.B. Detterline Jr., this lead single from Coe's Castles in the Sand album tells the tale of a hitchhiker who is picked up by the ghost of Hank Williams in an antique Cadillac on a lonely stretch of road from Alabama to Tennessee.
This song had a 19-week run on the country charts, where it peaked at #4.
The ghost story doesn't end with the song. Apparently, Hank made it all the way to Opryland to see Coe perform it for a televised special. When he made it to the last verse, with the lyrics "the whole world called me Hank," the lights and power went out.
