I used to think it was all in the drink |
|
It made him the way that he was |
|
He swore he'd change, poured it all down the drain |
|
And finally he'd given it 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 |
|
BeamHe was drinking his coffee black |
|
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 |
|
Well, 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 |
|
Yeah, I wish he'd been drinkin' whiskey |
|
When he told me he didn't love me no more |
