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

It's hard 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, 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

Bone dry, bone dry, bone dry, bone dry
