Dyin' To Hold Her Again
“Dying To Hold Her Again”
Jerry Salley
Joanie Keller Johnson


Vs1)
He drags into work unaware of the proof on his breath
Most men would get fired for putting the boss to the test
But everyone here knows his story and they sympathize
With a man Who loved someone who left without saying goodbye

Vs2)
After eight hours he heads home but stops by the liquor store first
He’ll close all the curtains and then put the whiskey to work
He’ll start out in his kitchen chair just like the night before
And with each drop he drinks he slowly sinks to the floor

Ch) now he’s under the table dying to hold her again
The bottles his weapon of choice to do himself in
He lives there and prays, “Lord take me away, I can’t drink enough whiskey to ease all the pain that I’m in”,
But till then, he’s under the table dying to hold her again

Vs3)
Lord it’s killing him trying to live without her
When you have to die to get better, it doesn’t/can’t get any worse
This mission of pure self destruction began when she left
Yeah, he started digging his own grave the day he laid her to rest

Chorus

Tag)
Oh, he lies there and prays, “ Lord take me away, I can’t drink enough whiskey to ease all the pain that I am in”
But till then, he is under the table dying to hold her again
