Everything I Love

Alan Jackson · Original Album Classics [2011]

(Harley Allen - Carson Chamberlain)



Coffee keeps me up and I can't sleep

And when I drink too much then I can't eat

Losing you has led me to believe

Everything I love is killin' me.



Everything I love is killin' me

Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine

And that's the way you're turnin' out to be

Everything I love, gonna have to give up

Everything I love is killin' me.



--- Instrumental ---



I guess I made a big mistake

Thinkin' you're a habit I can break

Well, I'm addicted to you now I see

Everything I love is killin' me.



Everything I love is killin' me

Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine

And that's the way you're turnin' out to be

Everything I love, gonna have to give up

Everything I love is killin' me.



Aw, everything I love gonna have to give up

Everything I love is killin' me...
