I think I know what killed Keith Whitley, and I wasn't just the whiskey, Even with success there was a sad lonliness, 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' Johnnny and it wasn't his tired body he went so soon after losing June I think I know what took Ol' Johnny Sometime the teardops can't be meazsuured sometimes the blues have no name sometimes the feeling somethings missing finds your heart and won't go away I think I know what killed Keith Whitley and it wasn't just the Whiskey
