Death can come from this broken heart
Or it can come from this here bottle
So why prolong the agony
Hey bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle
They say this drinkin' will kill me
I don't know, Lord, it just might be true
But if I stop, I'll just die from you leaving
Either way I go, it's cause of you
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 may preach to me
'Bout the evils of being drunk with wine
I don't care how the doctor may warn me
Since you left, it's just a matter of time
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, hoo!
♪
I don't care if my friends have all left me
And they swear that I have gone insane
I don't care anymore about living
Without you, it's just a great big pain
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
They say this drinkin' will kill me
I don't know, Lord, it just might be true
But if I stop, I'll just die from you leaving
Either way I go, it's cause of you
Now either way I go, it's cause of you
