If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will) Lyrics

The bars are all closed
It's four in the morning
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 honking

The whole neighborhood knows

That I'm home drunk again

[Chorus]

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 wild 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 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
