Lyrics This Drinkin' Will Kill Me - Dwight Yoakam

This Drinkin' Will Kill Me

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