If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Your Memory Will) Songtext
von George Jones

The bars are all closed
It′s four in the mornin'
I must have shut ′em all down
By the shape that I'm in

I lay my head on the wheel
And the horn begins honkin'
The whole neighborhood knows
That I′m home drunk again

If drinkin′ 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 drinkin' 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 I lightly touch down

Lord, it's been ten bottles
Since I tried to forget her
But the mem′ry still lingers
Lyin' here on the ground

And if drinkin' 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 drinkin' don′t kill me
Her memory will
