E    B                  E                             
I’ve done everything Hank did but die
       E                       B
And it ain’t because I did not try.
E                       A              E
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.
E                               B
And I grew up re-livin’ all the crazy things he did.
E
Whiskey drinkin’, Honky Tonk singin’, 
A               E
Stayin’ out all night, 
E                               B             E
Livin’ hard and dyin’ young was just a way of life.
Chorus
          E    B                  E    
I’ve done everything Hank did but die
       E                       B
And it ain’t because I did not try.
E                       A              E
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
                 E    B                  E
‘Cause I’ve done everything Hank did but die.
E                                B                  E
I didn’t know how dangerous that lost highway could be
E                                 B
‘Til one too many whiskey binges, brought me to my knees
E
I saw the light that very night, 
    A                 E
Old Hank is still the king.
E                                    B              E
but I found out that I don’t have to kill myself to sing
Chorus
          E    B                  E
I’ve done everything Hank did but die
       E                       B
And it ain’t because I did not try.
E                       A              E
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
                 E    B                  E
‘Cause I’ve done everything Hank did but die.
E                       A              E
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
                 E    B                  E
‘Cause I’ve done everything Hank did but die.
