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 loneliness,

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' Johnny

And it wasn't his tired body

He went so soon after losing June

I think I know what took Ol' Johnny



[Chorus]



I think I know what killed Keith Whitley

And it wasn't just the Whiskey.
