George Jones — Bone Dry

(Dennis Linde - Don Devaney) Baby, wants me to go cold turkey, bone dry No Jack Daniels, no Jim Beam whiskey, bone dry No stoppin' after work for a beer with the guys Nothin' in the mornin' to open my eyes Well, I'm comin' down from a permanent high, bone dry I got my doubts if I can make it, a-bone dry It's a crazy world, I don't know if I can take it, a -bone dry It's only been an hour, I'm startin' to shake Sixty more minutes and I know I'll break How much more of this hell can I take, bone dry Well, bone dry, boy am I dry as a bone How'd I ever say I'd ever leave it alone Break down, shake down layin' in bed Covers are soaked and I'm damn near dead, and I'm bone dry Baby took a look at her cold turkey, bone dry I tried to smile but my mouth wasn't working, I was bone dry This is one promise that I'm gonna keep Unless I get lucky and die in my sleep One way or the other I'm gonna be bone dry Well, bone, dry why am I dry as a bone Why'd I ever say I'd ever leave it alone Break down, shake down layin' in bed Covers are soaked and I'm damn near dead, bone dry Bone dry, bone dry, bone dry...
