    Do Die

    by: Wynn Stewart

    I don't care if I do die do die I quit livin' if you wave your bye bye
    And every day's just the night to cry cry so I don't care if I do die do die
    I destroy myself when I drink the warm red wine
    You wanted his but more then you wanted mine
    Life without you is just a waste of time I don't care if I do die do die
    I don't care if I do die do die..
    [ steel - guitar ]
    You ruin my soul and you wreck my brain your kinda love drives a man insane
    Life without you it won't be the same and the battle is one-way train
    Well I don't care if I do die do die...
