Iâ've done everything Hank did but die
And it ainâ't because I did not try.
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
â'Cause Iâ've done everything Hank did but die.
Old Hank was my hero, since I was a kid.
And I grew up re-livinâ' all the crazy things he did.
Whiskey drinkinâ', Honky Tonk singinâ',
Stayinâ' out all night,
Livinâ' hard and dyinâ' young was just a way of life.
Chorus
Iâ've done everything Hank did but die
And it ainâ't because I did not try.
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
â'Cause Iâ've done everything Hank did but die.
I didnâ't know how dangerous that lost highway could be
â'Til one too many whiskey binges, brought me to my knees
I saw the light that very night,
Old Hank is still the king.
but I found out that I donâ't have to kill myself to sing
Chorus
Iâ've done everything Hank did but die
And it ainâ't because I did not try.
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
â'Cause Iâ've done everything Hank did but die.
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
â'Cause Iâ've done everything Hank did but die.
