George Jones Bone Dry Lyrics

Bone Dry Lyrics

Baby wants me to go cold turkey, bone dry

No Jack Daniels, no Jim Beam whiskey, bone dry

No stoppin' after work for a beer with the guys

Nothin' in the mornin' to open my eyes

It's hard comin' down from a permanent high, bone dry



I got my doubts if I can make it, a bone dry

It's a crazy world I don't know if I can take it, a bone dry

It's only been an hour, I'm startin' to shake

Sixty more minutes and I know I'll break

How much more of this hell can I take? Bone dry



Well, bone dry, boy, am I dry as a bone?

How'd I ever say I'd ever leave it alone?

Break down, shake down layin' in bed

Covers are soaked and I'm damn near dead and I'm bone dry



Baby took a look at her cold turkey, bone dry

I tried to smile but my mouth wasn't working I was bone dry

This is one promise that I'm gonna keep

Unless I get lucky and die in my sleep

One way or the other I'm gonna be bone dry



Well, bone dry, boy, am I dry as a bone?

How'd I ever say I'd ever leave it alone?

Break down, shake down layin' in bed

Covers are soaked and I'm damn near dead

Bone dry, bone dry, bone dry, bone dry
