Lyrics for Was It 26

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 Melted 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 Melted 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 in 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 Melted 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?
