I think I know what killed Keith Whitley,
and I wasn't just the whiskey,
Even with success there was a sad lonliness,
I think I know what killed Keith Whitley.
I think I know what got Hank Williams,
there was an emptiness that filled him,
sitting in the back of that long cadillac,
i think I know what got Hank Williams.
Chorus:
Sometimes the teardrops can't be measured
sometimes the blues have no name
sometimes the feeling somethings missing
grabs your heart and won't go away.
I think I know what took Ol' Johnnny
and it wasn't his tired body
he went so soon after losing June
I think I know what took Ol' Johnny
Sometime the teardops can't be meazsuured
sometimes the blues have no name
sometimes the feeling somethings missing
finds your heart and won't go away
I think I know what killed Keith Whitley
and it wasn't just the Whiskey
