(Dwight Yoakam)



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



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 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 livin'

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 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

Yeah, either way that I go, it's 'cause of you

Oh, anyway that I go, it's 'cause of you
