I used to think it was all in the drink
|
It made him the way he was
|
He swore he'd change, poured it all down the drain
|
And finally he'd given up
|
But tonight in the kitchen
|
I sat there and listened
|
To words he could never take back
|
I didn't see no Jack or Jim Beam
|
He was drinking his coffee black
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oh, I wish he'd been drinkin' whiskey
|
When he told me he didn't love me
|
But he was stone cold sober
|
He meant what he said
|
And he did what he did
|
'Cause in his heart it was already over
|
The truth doesn't lie
|
So I can't deny it like I've always done before
|
Oh, I wish he'd been drinkin' whiskey
|
When he told me he didn't love me no more
|
|
He used to come home drunk to the bone
|
After he'd stayed out all night
|
He'd start slammin' doors and pacin' the floors
|
And we'd always end up in a fight
|
But tonight there's no screaming
|
Just the sound of him leaving
|
And the silence that rings in my ears
|
This house is dry, but for the very first time
|
I wish there was a bottle 'round here
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
Yeah, I wish he'd been drinkin' whiskey
|
When he told me he didn't love me no more
|
