[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?
