Lyrics

[00:00.38] The bars are all closed it's four in the morning
[00:07.40] Must have shut 'em all down by the shape that I'm in
[00:15.60] I lay my head on the wheel and the horn begins honking
[00:25.97] The whole neighborhood knows that I'm home drunk again.
[00:33.87] And if drinking don't kill me her memory will
[00:46.01] I can't hold out much longer the way that I feel
[00:59.83] With the blood from my body I could start my own still
[01:10.82] And if drinking don't kill me her memory will.
[01:23.40] These old bones they move slow
[01:41.90] but so sure of their footsteps
[01:46.38] As I trip on the floor and lightly touch down
[01:55.36] Lord it's been ten bottles since I tried to forget her
[02:04.03] But the memory still lingers lying here on the ground.
[02:12.69] And if drinking don't kill me her memory will
[02:24.75] I can't hold out much longer the way that I feel
[02:38.14] With the blood from my body I could start my own still
[02:49.77] But if drinking don't kill me her memory will...
[03:01.47]
