This Drinkin' Will Kill Me

(álbum: Hillbilly Deluxe - 1987)

They say this drinking will kill me
I don't know, oh Lord, it might be true
If I stop I'll just die from your leaving
So either way that I go, it's 'cause of you

[Chorus:]
Death can come from this broken heart
Or it can come from this bottle
So why prolong the agony
Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle

I don't care how the preacher might preach to me
About the evils of being drunk with wine
I don't care how the doctor might warn me
'Cause since you left, it's just a matter of time

[Chorus:]
Death can come from this broken heart
Or it can come from this bottle
So why prolong the agony
Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle

I don't care that my friends have all left me
'Cause they swear that I have gone insane
And I don't care anymore about living
Without you, just the grave can ease the pain

[Chorus:]
Death can come from this broken heart
Or it can come from this bottle
So why prolong the agony
Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle

Yeah, they say this drinking will kill me
I don't know, oh Lord, it might be true
If I stop I'll just die from your leaving
So either way that I go, it's 'cause of you

Either way that I go, it's 'cause of you...
