"Was It 26" was originally recorded by the Charlies Daniels Band back in 1989, which makes a recent duet between the two quite a powerful moment. The performance took place at a recent Daniels concert.

Stapleton begins the song with his haunting vocals, while Daniels backs him on guitar. The raw lyrics tell the story of a troubled youth. Each line reminisces over the years he can't remember as well as the second chances he wishes he could have back.
