Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel.
This is DramaSide for DramaSideTV.
It's been a long time in between drinks.
See what I did there? _
_ It's been a long [F#] time in between drinks since the last time we visited the legendary, the
late, great George Jones.
_ Now we're going to take a listen to If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me, Her Memory Will.
Let's go.
The _ bars are all closed.
_ [B] It's four in the morning.
I must have shut them all down by the shake that I made.
[C#] _
_ I [F#] lay my head on the wheel and the horn begins honking.
Oh, he drunk.
The whole neighborhood knows [C#] that I'm home drunk [F#] again.
_ _ _ _ If drinkin' [B] don't [F#] kill me, her [D#m] memory [C#] will.
_ _ _ A lot of times that's the reason why we drinking anyway, because somebody on their mind.
I remember many nights and many, many, no, I don't because I didn't drink like that.
But anyways, you get to thinking about stuff when you have a cup of drink or two.
You sure do.
Can't hold out much [B] _ longer [C#] _ the way that [F#] I feel.
[C#] _ _ [F#] With the blood from [B] my _ [F#] body, I could start my [B] own still.
_ _ But if drinkin' [F#] don't kill me, _
[C#] her [F#] memory will. _ _
See, that's what I love about country music, because [F] there's such innate honesty there. _ _ _ _
_ There's not a lot of fluff and there's not a lot of made up stuff, as you'll find in a lot of these [E] other [F] genres.
_ [F#] I love the brutal honesty, whether it makes you look good, bad, sad, indifferent, whatever the case may be.
It's honest.
People are writing from their heart.
And that's something that I can truly identify with because I want to continuously write from my heart.
I mean, [E] otherwise I feel like it's a waste of time.
And sometimes it's cool to write something of a fictional [G#]
thing, I would imagine.
But for me, music speaks to me most when it's in its most honest form.
[F#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ These old bones, they move slow, [A#] but so [B] sure of [F#] their footsteps.
As I trip on the floor and I lightly [C#] touch down. _ _
_ [F#] Lord, it's been ten bottles since [B] I tried to [F#] forget her.
But her memory still lingers, [C#] I hear on [F#] the ground.
What was you drinking?
And if drinking [B] don't kill [F#] me, her memory [C#] will.
_ I can't hold out [B] much _ _ [C#] longer, _ the way that I [F#] feel.
_ _ _ With the blood from [B] my _ [F#] body, _ I could start my [B] own still.
Lord, Jesus.
Lord.
But drinking [F#] don't kill me, [C#] her [B] memory will. _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ [F#] _ Lord, have mercy. _
_ [D#] Now, a lot of times [F#] we understand that the reason why we're talking about her [D#] memory.
So one or two reasons, she done passed on or she done left because she got tired of your drunk ass.
_ In this case, I would like to say that she probably left you because if you drink in ten bottles, _ you done fell out, head done on the horn. _ _ _ _
And the neighbors know you home.
Oh, that's old George again.
Coming around the bend.
And then you go up in the house and you shouldn't fall.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
I got to agree with people that just be pee on their stuff, just be peeing on their stuff when they drunk.
Like, don't nobody got time for that?
Like, like if you don't get up off that floor, come on here and get a shower and get to bed.
Oh, you don't pee yourself.
You sleep on the couch over there.
Ain't nobody got.
No, no, I just clean these sheets.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Megan, like.
_ _ But like I said before, [G#] if you want [F] honesty, somebody, you know, somebody used to tell me back in the day.
If you want honesty, don't go to church because people, people in church act like they done arrived and they done made it and everybody say sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost and everybody going to heaven and you ain't going because they judging you and telling you ain't going.
But if you want to know the truth, go sit on the bar stoop next to that guy right there because he can tell you everything that you need to know.
And at least 95 percent of it is true.
Five percent of it is because he just totally wasted.
You don't even know what he's saying.
[G] But then 95 percent, he done told you truth.
You better go get yourself right.
_ George Jones, ladies and gentlemen, if drinking don't kill me, her memory will.
Another great classic song from George Jones.
This is drama side till next time.
Thanks for watching. _ _ _ _ _ _
