I Think I Know

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.

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.
