Chorus
E B E
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
E B E
‘Cause I’ve done everything Hank did but die.
E B E
Old Hank was my hero, since I was a kid.

And I grew up re-livin’ all the crazy things he did.

Whiskey drinkin’, Honky Tonk singin’,

Stayin’ out all night,
E B E
Livin’ hard and dyin’ young was just a way of life.

I didn’t know how dangerous that lost highway could be

Old Hank is still the king.

but I found out that I don’t have to kill myself to sing
