This Drinkin` Will Kill Me Lyrics

This Drinkin` Will Kill Me

(Dwight Yoakam)

 

 They say this drinkin' will kill me

 I don't know, oh Lord, it might be true

 If I stop I'll just die from your leavin'

 So either way that I go, it's 'cause of you

 

 Chorus:

 Death can come from this broken heart

 Or it can come from this bottle

 So why prolong the agony

 Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle

 

 I don't care how the preacher might preach me

 About the evils of being drunk with wine

 I don't care how the doctor might warn me

 'Cause since you left, it's just a matter of time

 

 Chorus:

 Death can come from this broken heart

 Or it can come from this bottle

 So why prolong the agony

 Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle

 

 I don't care that my friends have all left me

 'Cause they swear that I have gone insane

 And I don't care anymore about livin'

 Without you, just the grave can ease the pain

 

 Chorus:

 Death can come from this broken heart

 Or it can come from this bottle

 So why prolong the agony

 Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle

 

 Yeah, they say this drinkin' will kill me

 I don't know, oh Lord, it might be true

 If I stop I'll just die from your leavin'

 So either way that I go, it's 'cause of you

 Yeah, either way that I go, it's 'cause of you

 Oh, anyway that I go, it's 'cause of you
