[1] Used to listen to old Hank as a kid
I tried to sing like him
but never did
Always wondered why
he sounded so blue
Too young to understand
what he'd been through
[2] Yeah at twenty nine
I've been through a lot
Heartbroken
lost loved ones
and almost shot
Fairly often
this world has knocked me around
The older I get Hank
the better you sound
CHORUS
The older I get Hank
the better you sound
I turn you up
when
I'm feeling down
Each year
. your songs
make more sense to me
Still singing those sad songs
in Tennessee

[3] Seems the world
. is getting rougher each day..
Makes you listen
. to what he had to say
A lot smarter man than me
at this age
Left us waiting
. to read
another page
CHORUS
The older I get Hank
the better you sound
I turn you up
. when
I'm feeling down
Each year
. your songs
make more sense to me
Still singing those sad songs
in Tennessee
