Two friends of mine who live thousands of miles apart have independently mentioned a cute George Jones song they each "discovered". It's called "I'm Gonna Honky-Tonk Myself to Death" -- or something close to that. Anybody have the complete lyrics?

Words, Gene, words.

On one of those "Every CD in the World" sites, I got an mpeg sample of the chorus from the actual GJ cut. The words are:

Well, I don't wanna die from a broken heart, 'cause that would just be too sad,
Or drive my car off of the bridge, 'cause that would hurt too bad,
And if I tied a rope around my neck, I couldn't catch my breath....
So I guess I'll just honky-tonk myself to death.

OK, I've done my part -- who can find the verses?
