if drinkin' don't kill me

the bars are all closed

it's four in the morning

must have shut 'em all down by the shape that i'm in

i lay my head on the wheel and the horn begins honking

the whole neighbourhood knows

that i'm home drunk again

if drinking don't kill me

her memory will

i can't hold out much longer

the way that i feel

with the blood from my body

i could start my own still

but if drinking don't kill me

her memory will

these will old bones they move slow

but so sure of their footsteps

as i trip on the floor and i lightly touch down

lord

it's been ten bottles since i tried to forget her

but the memory still lingers lying here on the ground

if drinking don't kill me

her memory will

i can't hold out much longer

the way that i feel

with the blood from my body

i could start my own still

but if drinking don't kill me

her memory will
