Dwight Yoakam › Lyrics › This Drinkin' Will Kill Me

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

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

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
I don't care anymore about livin'
Without you, just the grave can ease the pain

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 drinkin' will kill me
I don't know, oh Lord, it might be true
But if I stop I'll just die from your leavin'
So either way that I go, it's 'cause of you
Yeah, either way that I go, it's 'cause of you
