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 drinking honky-tonk singing
Staying up all night
Living hard and dying 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
