If Drinking Don?t Kill Me Lyrics

By George Jones



Capo 1st fret

D

The bars are all closed



It?s four in the morning



Must have shut?em all down

                                A

By the shape that I?m in

              D

I lay my head on the wheel



And the horn begins honking



The whole neighborhood knows

               A                  D

That I?m home drunk again



Chorus:

                              G   D

And if drinking don?t kill me

                   A

Her memory will

                                 G

I can?t hold out much longer

                        D

The way that I feel

                                   G  D

With the blood from my body

                                G

I could start my own still

                              D

And if drinking don?t kill me

       A           D     

Her memory will

                D

These will old bones they move slow



But so sure of their footsteps

                                                         A

As I trip on the floor and lightly touch down

        D

Lord it?s been ten bottles since I tried to forget her

                                                 A                   D

But the memory still lingers lying here on the ground



repeat chorus:
