Killin’ Time lyrics

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

That if I cross that line and they bury me

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

And if there's an end to all my sorrow

And this is the only price I'll pay I'll be a happy man when I go

And I can't wait another day

[Repeat chorus]
