Stapleton, Chris - 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
Friends worried about me they’d asked if I was sick
Thought I wouldn’t die at twenty-five or was it twenty-six
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]

If you don't like that
You are ugly
Your feet stink
And you don't love Jesus .
Wasn't this originally called "the Confessor" by Joe Walsh?!
This is the best of today's music period
Yup, it was definitely 26
Reminds me of Chris Ledoux in this song.. Love it
I think I like this version over the original by CDB. His guitar sounds more country, and his voice just flows so well with this song.
White boys kicking ass as usual
Was it me or was it a small Dick! 26 lol
This song reminds me of some old man with dementia! Not a good thing people!
Singing a song about almost dying from being strung out? That's country damn it!
This song just tears me up its my life in 4 minutes chris thank you for bringing it back.
I heard this song by Charlie Daniels a long time ago and I really wish I listen to it honestly
This guy has the Soul that many country artist lack today.
Man I love Charlie Daniels , but you did this right Chris
And to be honest, you're right up there with Charlie
It's too kool.the more you get better the more you jam its kool
Like another try at 25 ....or was it 36!
Is he singing about my life?
I like this better sorry Charlie no offense lol Marilee
HELL To the Yeah
Oh, CT - Old Soul Sippin' Tennessee Whiskey @ 25 (Was It 26) & I Was Wrong! Simple Song W/ Nobody to Blame...
Might As Well Get Stoned on Death Row, Sometimes I Cry Thinkin' More of You Miss Mason. #D'Evil$ Named Music ~ P@K
Awesome song
Breath of Fresh air... With all the Shit on the Radio thank God for Chris
Or was it 26
Love it. Charlie must love it too.lol Marilee
Thank you Chris Stapleton.
Great cover could not get any better
Like both versions
*"MELTIN' into memories like somebody else's life"*
is there ANYTHING here on God's green Earth better'n outlaw country?
FUCK NO!
You are a BAD MAN. Get it dude!
You can put (Charlie Daniels band). But Chris Stapleton wrote this song when he was only 23. Chris Stapleton has written every single (cover) he has produced. He has written songs so many songs that most people don’t even know he wrote
464 people think Florida Georgia line is real country.
You ain’t shittn man. I think that I have a bunch of those years like that.
Pretty sure it was 26
🇺🇸🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨
Iubesc muzica country..l love Chris Stapleton...e muzica generației mele!!💞💞💞👏👏👍👍
if you like this guy please listen to cody jinks you will not be dissapointed
I just got back from Kroger, and they have spiked water. Alcoholic water! Insane! And it's not bad!
Makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
Love it. Charlie does too I'm sure....love the way you sing it better though no offense lol Marilee
Tell all the HATERS that say THIS MAN AIN'T COUNTRY that they can KISS THIS!
Charlie Daniels approves
Great cover of a great song. Sung convincingly and with passion. You can feel it when someone puts their heart into song - country, rock, blues....it's all the same. It only has meaning if it stirs your soul. You dig?.
Great music..
One of my favorite songs. Love it shared worldwide lol Marilee
Beautiful. Shared worldwide lol Marilee
The mercy of God is the only reason we are all still here. As the saying goes only the good die young. Fly high my son 5/06/1996 12/12/2015. Damian Manshack .
Thought it was 36? Can't remember
2018 or 2086 no majin in a bottle can grant my wish
I'm 26 now and let me just say this must be normal because he speaking the truth really listen to the old man.. Super wise
Wow. This song hit me as hard as phil ocks "when im gone." Cover that chris please. Its a song forgotten that only you can make a todays hit.
This makes me so happy!
Better then stuck up Charlie Daniels
OMG I love his voice and writing skills
This motherf@$&in song was written about me. (Please forgive the french)
The verse starting at 2:00 sticks out to me. The woman i was gonna marry left me a couple months ago and when he sang that verse it just spoke to me...
This cat is in a class all his own!
Beautiful wife. should have been in my last post. OOOPPPS sorry
Your music has restored my faith in human gentleness, especially with your beautiful. If you ever want a hideaway, with a home made meal and no roadies. Get ahold of me and I promise you both peace and quite MUCH deserving, for all you give us!!!! God Bless you both and safe travels.
[Verse 2]
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?
Was it 8 or was it 22. Smh.
Thanks. Finally a real country singer.
I know this is Charlie Daniels song.
But I think Chris Stapleton did a good job at this song. My self I like the way
Chris Stapleton does it.
✌😎🍺
Dee Harris me too better
This man here could go so many different directions with his voice and guitar skills bottom line is for sure he's going to the top he can sing about any type of music there is man could go totally Blues if he wanted to
I Had bloodshot eyes at 13 and they haven't been clear yet marry jane is my wife and i will never forget how she got me threw near death
Weed has kept me from killin lots of sorry mf'ers
unfortunately it takes years on a old soul. to really appreciate this song.
Thats why we appreciate it.
To bad he ruined Tennessee whiskey
I'm 61 and I lived it I adored DON & GEORGE but their versions of TENNESSEE WHISKEY pales in comparison to CHRIS STAPLETON'S version...........
.
Johnny The one Cash is proud off you man sing your heart that’s all you have to just like Cash. Follow.
"I'm glad to say I've come around... but if I could have one wish--- I'd like another try at 25.... or was it 26?" Shoot - So many years are freakin blur.... I can relate. However, I got sober at the end of 24 , first of 25... so I remember that!!! Just not much before!! I adore this man and every song he sings. I really can't say that there is one single song I don't love. All of his albums and they're played - everyday. i haven't come across an artist such as Chris that has had the impact on my life like he has since Melissa Etheridge and the Indigo Girls... and that's been since the 90's. AN still he's different. The stuff he writes - the things he has out now -- are from 15 years ago.. I heard him talk about it. I can't imagine what it's going to be like when he begins to get caught up. Our minds will just be blown. The combination of his voice - the art of his lyrics- and his soul... is phenomenal. GOD please protect this MAN!!! IN planes, trains and automobiles!!!! And everywhere else. We want Chris around for a long time.
This is the Gen-X anthem song. We've all been there man. Some of us are still lost.
Proud Hispanic and I love this music!😍
Long Haired Country Boy
NO DOUBT!!!!!!!!!
Real Country Music
This reminds me of Sons of Anarchy
I can relate to this at 37 lol
I bet Charlie Daniels tipped his hat to Chris Stapelton
Sure he d i'll d too
Really like Stapleton"s remakes of the classics
26 was my first birthday back stateside after being in Baghdad for a year
Casey Stewart salute soldier 💪💪💪
Thank you for your service
.my life
No it was 25
It was 26
For real...love it
Was it 11 or 22. Those years run together like whiskey over ice.
wow stealing from old friends must be del's level>
Had bloodshot eyes at 25...or was it 26
charlie's wins but its ok chris
Sorry! I'm 61 and a MEGAFAN of CDB but CHRIS outsings them all. It's okay I still love CHARLIE'S version but CHRIS speaks to my HEART & SOUL!
Real outlaw shit love it. #realoutlaw
My 13 mth. Son loves his voice
He is unquestionably the best....
I'm in love with some Chris stapleton
Anyone else get a Waylon feeling to this song?
Yes for sure
I get a stapleton feeling...stapleton aint like nobody hes like stapleton
https://youtu.be/NBwV5P5OVWk

Chris Stapleton is awesome
