[Verse 1]
They say this drinkin' will kill me
I don't know, oh Lord, it might be true
If I stop, I'll just die from your leavin'
So either way that I go, it's 'cause of you

[Chorus]
Death can come from this broken heart
Or it can come from this bottle
So why prolong the agony?
Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle

[Verse 2]
I don't care how the preacher might preach to me
About the evils of being drunk with wine
I don't care how the doctor might warn me
'Cause since you left, it's just a matter of time

[Chorus]
Death can come from this broken heart
Or it can come from this bottle
So why prolong the agony?
Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle

[Verse 3]
I don't care that my friends have all left me
'Cause they swear that I have gone insane
And I don't care anymore about livin'
Without you, just the grave can ease the pain
[Chorus]
Death can come from this broken heart
Or it can come from this bottle
So why prolong the agony?
Hey, bartender, I think I'll hit the throttle

[Verse 1]
Yeah, they say this drinkin' will kill me
I don't know, oh Lord, it might be true
If I stop, I'll just die from your leavin'
So either way that I go, it's 'cause of you

[Outro]
Either way that I go, it's 'cause of you
Either way that I go, it's 'cause of you
Either way that I go, it's 'cause of you
