Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bartender, bartender, pour me a shot
I've got a memory to drown
And I'm not giving up until me or that memory
Is buried six feet in the ground
[Verse 2]
Hey sailor Jerry, it's good to see you
I can see you're doing fine
Pull up a glass while I'm thinking this through
You always getting me through the night
[Verse 3]
And oh Mr. Jameson, what's that you say?
I should just leave her behind
'Cause I'm better off now without her wicked ways
That drove me out of my mind
[Verse 4]
Whoa now
Bartender, bartender, pour me a shot
I've got a memory to drown
And I'm not givin' up until me or that memory
Is buried six feet in the ground
[Verse 5]
Shot glass in hand, I'll dig a hole
So damn deep nobody will know
Where I laid to rest my heartbroken soul
[Verse 6]
Well I guess that I should just pay off my tab
Go home and hope for the best
But she'll never miss me and this glass of whiskey
It seems to be all I got left
[Verse 7]
Whoa now
Bartender, bartender, pour me a shot
I've got a memory to drown
On second thought pass me the bottle instead
Tonight I'm gonna shoot this one down
[Verse 8]
Whoa I've tried this before without any luck
She always comes back around
But I'm not giving up until me or that memory
Is buried six feet in the ground
Buried six feet in the ground
Oh, buried six feet in the ground
