"If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me"
(originally by George Jones)

Fight

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 neighborhood knows
That I'm home drunk again

It's four in the morning

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 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

The memory still lingers

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

Her memory will
Her memory will

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, no
Her memory will

Her memory will
Her memory will
Her memory will
Her memory will
