George Jones - Bone Dry Lyrics

(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...
