If Drinking Don’t Kill Me

By George Jones

The bars are all closed

It’s four in the morning

Must have shut ’em all down

G7

By the shape that I’m in

I lay my head on the wheel

And the horn begins honking

The whole neighborhood knows

         G7         C

That I’m home drunk again

                F          C

And if drinking don’t kill me

G7

Her memory will

I can’t hold out much longer

The way that I feel

               F       C

With the blood from my body

I could start my own still

And if drinking don’t kill me

    G7     C

Her memory will

These will old bones they move slow

But so sure of their footsteps

G7

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

G7                C

Lying here on the ground
