if drinking don t kill me her memory will

George Jones

Written by R. Beresford and H. Sanders

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

(Chorus:)
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
And if drinking don t kill me
Her memory will

These wild 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
