You were the first thing that I thought of When I thought I drank you off my mind When I get lost in the liquor You're the only one I find And if I did the things I oughta You still would not be mine So I'll keep a tight grip on the bottle Gettin' loose and killin' time [Chorus:] This killin' time is killin' me Drinking myself blind thinkin' I won't see That if I cross that line and they bury me I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow I've been lost in yesterday I've spent all my life just dying For a love that passed away And if there's an end to all my sorrow And this is the only price I'll pay I'll be a happy man when I go And I can't wait another day [Chorus]
