Livin' hard was easy, when I was young and bulletproof
I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof
Empited every bottle, when I poured I never missed
I had bloodshot eyes at 25, or was it 26?
It didn't seem to matter, what price I had to pay
'Cause anything worth having I'd just lose it anyway
Friends worried about me they asked if I was sick
Thought I would die at 25 or was it 26?
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?
I met a girl from Georiga smart pretty college grad
I thought my luck was changing up till then it'd all been bad
Guess I fell in love with her all it took was one kiss
But she said goodbye at 25 or was it 26?
Yeah, I"ve been down the road before almost as far as hell
Deception or redemption I guess only time will tell
I have in the knowledge that God gave us a gift
I couldn't hide at 25 or was it 26?
Those two years run together like whiskey over ice
Melting in my memories like somebody else's life
I'm glad to say I've come around but if I could have one wish
I'd like another try at 25 or was it 26?
