Honky Tonk Myself to Death Songtext
von George Jones

Well, I don′t know why you left me
But I do know that you're gone
Colder nights, you′ve turned my life into a sad ol' song
And one way or another, I gotta get me over you
And I think there's only one thing left for me to do.

Lord, I don′t wanna die of a broken heart
That would be too sad
Or drive my car off a cliff
You see, that would just hurt too bad
And if I tied a rope around my neck
I couldn′t get my breath
So I think I'll just honky tonk myself to death.


Well, I might get a little bit crazy
But I don′t wanna go insane
Young Wendy and Dan's ol′ whiskey
Well, it might just kill the pain
I'm gonna find the highest barstool and I′mma climb up to the top
Yeah, I think I'll just drink and two-step till I drop.

Oh, I don't wanna die of a broken heart
That would be too sad
Or drive my car off a cliff
You see, that would just hurt too bad
And if I tied a rope around my neck
I couldn′t get my breath
So I think I′ll just honky tonk myself to death.

And if I tied a rope around my neck
I couldn't get my breath
So I think I′ll just honky tonk myself to death.

Hey, I think I'll honky tonk myself to death...
