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
Bb F
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

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
