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 really not a drinking man   But I can'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
