I Think I Know

lee ann womack - 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 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.

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.
