Hundred Proof Memories - George Jones

Love on the rocks that’s all he said

As he sat there beside me shaking his head

I said, Mister, you look like you’re taking it rough

No, I don’t want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride

'Cause with hundred proof mem’ries, Lord, you don’t think and drive

'Cause these hundred proof mem’ries are stronger than wine

It don’t take but one taste to send you out of your mind

No, I don’t want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride

'Cause with hundred proof mem’ries, Lord, you don’t think and drive

No, I don’t want the whiskey but I could sure use a ride

'Cause with hundred proof mem’ries, Lord, you don’t think and drive…
