Lyrics

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
