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
Well I'm 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 why am I dry as a bone
Bone dry bone dry bone dry
