Was It 26

Living 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 having 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 changing 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 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
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
