If Drinkin` Don`t Kill Me (her Memory Will) Lyrics

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



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 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



And 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
