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...
