I wake up in the morning full of dread
  Tryin' to remember what I'd said
  I say that I won't call you
  And I mean it every time
  Until I cross that bourbon borderline
  
  I wish that I could tell you why I call
  Sometimes it's just hard for me, that's all
  I know that it's over and it's just a waste of time
  Until I cross that bourbon borderline
  
  Memories of you surround me
  And I'm afraid the tears might drown me
  Oh, I think I'm doing fine
  Until I cross that bourbon borderline
  
  It's good that I just do this now and then
  You know I'm realy not a drinking man
  But I coan't bear to talk about us any other time
  Until I cross that bourbon borderline
  
  Memories of you surround me
  And I'm afraid the tears might drown me
  Oh, I think I'm doing fine
  Until I cross that bourbon borderline
  
  Oh, I think I'm doing fine
  Until I cross that bourbon borderline
