[Verse 1]
I think I know what killed Keith Whitley
And I wasn't just the whiskey
Even with success, there was a sad loneliness
Think I know what killed Keith Whitley

[Verse 2]
I think I know what got Hank Williams
There was an emptiness that filled him
Sitting in the back of that long Cadillac
Think I know what got Hank Williams

[Chorus]
Sometimes, the teardrops can't be measured
Sometimes, the blues have no name
Sometimes, the feelin' something's missin'
Grabs your heart and won't go away

[Verse 3]
I think I know what took ol' Johnny
And it wasn't his tired body
He went so soon after losin' June
Think I know what took Ol' Johnny

[Chorus]
Sometimes, the teardrops can't be measured
Sometimes, the blues have no name
Sometimes, the feelin' something's missin'
Finds your heart and won't go away
[Outro]
Think I know what killed Keith Whitley
And it wasn't just the whiskey
