Question
What is the old Hank Williams Jr. song that has the lyrics "thought I would die at 25 or was it 26"?
I found this song under Charlie Daniels. Maybe it's the same song.
Living hard was easy when I was young and bullet proof
Had no ties to bind me just a pickup and a roof
I emptied every bottle when I poured I never missed
Had bloodshot eyes at twenty five or was it twenty six
Didn't seem to matter what price I had to pay
Cause anything worth havin' I'd just lose anyway
Friends worried about me and they asked if I was sick
Thought I would die at twenty five or was it twenty six
Those two years blend together like whiskey over ice
Melting into mem'ries 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 twenty five or was it twenty six
I met a girl from Georgia smart and pretty college grad
Thoought my luck was changin' up to then it'd all been bad
I guess I fell in love all it took was just one kiss
But she said goodbye at twnty five or was it twenty six
Those two years blend together like whiskey over ice...
Yeah I've been down the road prob'ly been as far as hell
Deception or redemption I guess only time will tell
I have faith in the knowledge that God gave us a gift
I couldn't hide at twenty five or was it twenty six
Those two years blend together like whiskey over ice...
I'd like another try at twenty five or was it twenty six

| Comment | Thank you very much for finding that for me. I haven't heard the song in about 10 years. And yeah it was Charlie Daniels. Sometimes I get his and Hank's songs mixed up. I have been trying to figure out that song for the past few months. Thank you so much! | ||

Expertise
I can usually locate song by artist, excerpts and even circa around when the song was released in country, rock and other genres. ****** PLEASE do not ask me about videos. I do not watch them.******** I've been singing since I started talking, singing in public since I was 7. Still at it at 56. I have an extensive repertoire as well as lots of music. I also actively research for other people, including local djs, music that no one else can find, especially being given just paraphrased lines of songs. I'm the one @ karaoke that usually gets asked, "Who did this song?" or "Do you know a song that goes" and if it's country, I usually can name the song and artist, sometimes give within a couple of years the year of release. I've got a lot of lyrics in my database, as well as friends with working musicians who do open mic jams who have even more extensive databases than I do.
