Need a title for this Tim McGraw song.?
I've never heard it on the radio, but it's in one of his videos. It's a song about Hank Williams. Sorry I can't be of more help.
The Ride is definately it. Thanks so much!!

Is it "The Ride"? I' pretty sure he's never released it as a single. But in the video for "Real Good Man" he goes into this song at the end.
I was thumbin' back from Montgomery
with a guitar on my back
When a stranger pulled up beside me in an antique Cadillac.
Well, he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hallow eyed
Its a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son.
He sat down in the front seat, and turned on the radio
and them sad old songs comin' outta them speakers was solid country gold.
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale when he asked me for a light.
And knew there was somethin' strange about this ride.
[ Lyrics accessible from http://www.rare-lyrics.com/ ]
[CHORUS:]
He said: Mister can you make folks cry when you play and sang.
Can you pay your dues, can you moan the blues
Can you bend them guitar strangs.
He said: Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside,
Cause if your big star bound let me warn you its a long hard ride.
Well, he cried just south of Nashville, and he turned that car around.
he said: [spoken] this is where you get off, boy
cause I'm going back to Alabam'.
I stepped out of that ole Cadillac and I said Mister, many thanks.
he said you don't have to call me mister, Mister.
The whole world calls me Hank.
[Repeat Chorus]

Things Change...
They wouldn't let him play the opry
With whiskey on his breath
And it didn't take 'em long
to figure out what they missed
He went down that lost highway
Underneath the purple sky
A legend disappeared before his time
Things Change
They said he was the devil
dressed in gold leme
The way he shook his hips
up there on the stage
But before that fateful day
He left Tennessee
All of them were calling him the king
Things Change
Well they like to call them hippies
outlaws with guitars
But they brought a little poetry
To the honky tonks and bars
They might've got a little too crazy
They might have flew a little too high
But somewhere somebody's playing their song tonight
Things Change
(Don't you know things change)
Now some say it's too country
Some say it's too rock n roll
But it's just good music
If you can feel it in your soul
It doesn't really matter
It's always been the same
life goes on
Things Change
Don't you know they change
Oh, things change
As long as this world is turning
Things are gonna change
Gonna keep on changing
Gonna change

I didn't know Timmy sang a version of "The Ride".
Figures he would rip off a classic like that.
