Lyric I Wish He d Been Drinkin Whiskey

(Bob Dipiero & Karyn Rochelle)

I used to think it was all in the drink
It mad ehim 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 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 h edid 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.

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 h edid 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...
