If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (her Memory Will) Lyrics - George Jones

Written by R. Beresford and H. Sanders 

The bars are all closed 

It's four in the morning 

Must have shut 'em all down 

By the shape that I'm in 

I lay my head on the wheel 

And the horn begins honking 

The whole neighborhood knows 

That I'm home drunk again

Chorus: 

And if drinking 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 

And if drinking 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 lightly touch down 

Lord it's been ten bottles 

Since I tried to forget her 

But the memory still lingers 

Lying here on the ground 

Photos 

Chorus: 

And if drinking 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 drinking don't kill me 

Her memory will...
