well i don't know why you left me
but i do know that you're gone overnight
you turned my life into a sad old song
and one way or another i gotta get me over you
well i think there's only one thing left for me to do
lord i don't want to die of a broken heart
that would just be too sad
i drive my car off a cliff you see
that would just hurt too bad
and if the tides rolled around my neck
i couldn't get my breath
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 women and old whiskey
well it just might kill the pain
i'm gonna find the highest barstool
i'm gonna climb up to the top
yeah i think i'll just drink and two step till i drop
for i don't wanna die of a broken heart
my life would just be too sad
i drive my car off a cliff gee
that'll just hurt too bad
and if i tied a rope around my neck
i couldn't get my breath
i think i'll just honky tonk myself to death
and you're a tight rope around my neck
i couldn't get my breath
away from this honky tonk myself today
i think i'll honky tonk myself to death
