[Verse 1: Merle Haggard]
I never thought I'd ever conquer my weakness
'Cause everybody knows that my weakness is you
But the answer came this morning
And you should be the first to hear what a simple little thing I have to do

[Chorus: Merle Haggard & George Jones]
I think I've found a way to live without you
I think I've found a way I can get by
I think I've found a way I can be happy (tell me more)
And all I have to do is die

[Verse 2: George Jones]
I know everybody wonders why drinking doesn't kill me
And I myself at times have wondered why
But drinking never gave me any answers that I needed
Or the nerve it took, oh Lord, for me to say goodbye

[Chorus: Merle Haggard & George Jones]
I think I've found a way to live without you
I think I've found a way I can get by
I think I've found a way I can be happy
And all I have to do is die

[Outro]
I think I've found a way to live without you
And all I have to do is die
