Chris Stapleton - Was It 26 lyrics

Livin' hard was easy when I
Was young and bullet-proof
I had no chains to bind me
Just a guitar and a roof
Emptied every bottle
When I poured I never missed
I had blood shot 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 they’d asked
If I was sick
Thought I wouldn’t die at twenty-five
Or was it twenty-six

Those two years run together
Like whiskey over ice
Meltin' into 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 twenty-five
Or was it twenty-six

Met a girl from Georgia, smart and pretty
College grad
I thought my luck was changin' but
Then it all went bad
I guess I fell in love with her
All it took was just one kiss
But then she said goodbye at
Twenty-five or was it twenty-six

Those two years run together
Like whiskey over ice
Meltin' into 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 twenty-five
Or was it twenty-six

I've been down that road before
Almost as far as hell
Deception or redemption
I guess only time will tell
I have faith and the knowledge that
God gave us a gift
I couldn't hide at twenty-five
Or was it twenty-six

Those two years run together
Like whiskey over ice
Meltin' into 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 twenty-five
Or was it twenty-six
