i've done everything hank did but die

i've done everything hank did but die

and it ain't because i did not try

sometimes it amazes me

that i got out alive

cause i've done everything hank did but die

well hank was my hero

since i was a kid

and i grew up reliving

all the crazy things he did

whiskey drinkin' honky-tonk singin'

stayin' up all night

livin' hard and dyin' young was just a way of life

i've done everything hank did but die

and it ain't because i did not try

sometimes it amazes me

that i got out alive

cause i've done everything hank did but die

i didn't know how dangerous

that lost highway could be

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 don't have to kill myself to sing

i've done everything hank did but die

and it ain't because i did not try

sometimes it amazes me

that i got out alive

cause i've done everything hank did but die

sometimes it amazes me

that i got out alive

cause i've done everything hank did but die
