FDrunk and Totally AmDrained.
On the Fverge of going crazy, Bbon the edge of insane
I Bbmknow you prayed I'd make it, BFut I never pulled thDmrough
GmI gave up on going on girl jCust like I gave up on you
[Chorus]
But don't you crBby darlin', thFough it's a cryin' shame
CI was hooked on that whiskey so bad FI didn't know my F7name when I died
Don't Bbcry Darlin', Fwell it's not your faultDm  
FI was stealing tBbime from the devil and CI just got caFught
[Verse]
FYou know hon, David left you sAmo long ago
FHe didn't want to darling, ah buBbt his dying words told you so
BbmBut that strong stuff, ah it was always his weakness, Fbut hell any man can be a fool
Gmand I know that he was so ashamed and sorry 
Cfor all those bad things he did to you
[Chorus]
But don't you crBby darlin', thFough it's a cryin' shame
CI was hooked on that whiskey so bad FI didn't know my F7name when I died
Don't Bbcry Darlin', Fwell it's not your faultDm
