If Drinking Will Kill Me

by Brett Matthew West

If Drinking Will Kill Me


Came into this barroom what did I see
You're with another. You're not here with me
Been watching the floor, babe, while you put on your show
And, if drinking will kill me I ain't got far to go

Pour me another shot of your love
These ten rounds with Jose are never enough
Why do you wanna do me this way
Take back your memory it's with me each day

And, if drinking will kill me I ain't got far to go
Down here on the bottom it gets lonely I know
Yesterday's gone now. Tomorrow can't be
You're in love with another so you set me free
This battle is over. I know that you won
They never should bet me it couldn't be done
Where do I go now? How should I know
And, if drinking will kill me I ain't got far to go

Don't wanna dance on the table, or get in a fight
The last man who's standing can shoot out the light
This bottle I hold here in my hand
Can't make love to me, girl, the way that you can

Who's that in the mirror this stranger I see
Four winds that blow, girl, take you from me
Where is the love that we used to know
Words I'm now hearing are you told me so

And, if drinking will kill me I ain't got far to go
Down here on the bottom it gets lonely I know
Yesterday's gone now. Tomorrow can't be
You're in love with another so you set me free
This battle is over. I know that you won
They never should bet me it couldn't be done
Where do I go now? How should I know
And, if drinking will kill me I ain't got far to go

Yes, if drinking will kill me I ain't got far to go
