  • You were the first thing that I thought of
    When I thought I drank you off my mind
    When I get lost in the liquor
    You're the only one I find
    And if I did the things I oughta
    You still would not be mine
    So I'll keep a tight grip on the bottle
    Gettin' loose and killin' time

    This killin' time is killin' me
    Drinking myself blind thinkin' I won't see
    Not if I cross that line and they bury me
    Well, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity

    I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow
    I've been lost in yesterday
    I've spent all my life just dying
    For a love that passed away
    There's an end to all my sorrow
    This is the only price I'll pay
    I'll be a happy man when I go
    And I can't wait another day

    This killin' time is killin' me
    Drinking myself blind thinkin' I won't see
    Not if I cross that line and they bury me
    Well, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity

    Yes, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity Writer/s: Clint Patrick Black, James Hayden Nicholas
