Wish I Could Drink - 8Track
Wish I could drink
Wish I could drink
Wish I could drink
Wish I could drink, uh
Wish I could drink, uh
Wish I could drink, uh
Uh
Lookin' at my knuckles so white
Holdin' on to my hotel bed so tight
'Cause I know if I let go I'm gonna follow the sound
Of that piano out of my room and down
To the lounge where I'ma mess it all up
It's been four years since I reeked of alcohol, but
I've been to the gym three times a day
Keep callin' my wife and them to say
All of my trashcans are filled with coffee cups, but I still
Wish I could drink
(Wish I could drink, wish I could drink, wish I could drink)
Wish I could drink
(Wish I could drink, wish I could drink)
Lord knows I can like a fish
Y'all I ain't just alcohol-ish (just alcohol-ish)
I'm starin' at that water bottle wonderin' if
Folks'll notice if I put a little vodka in it
Maybe rehab
Ain't just a guest house
Maybe I don't ever really check out
Just appreciate the freedom from my demons when they hush
And fight the temptation when I just wish I could drink
Uh
Wish I could drink
Wish I could have a beer with my sons when they turn 21
But nah
I'ma be holdin' up water sayin' cheers with 'em
Tryna smile back, the time flies tears with 'em
Prayin' to anyone who would listen upstairs
They learn from my mistakes
And not theirs
Maybe it's in their blood
I hope it isn't (I hope it isn't)
Maybe they won't start
'Cause they watched me quitin'
Maybe they forgot (maybe they forgot)
Maybe I'm forgiven (maybe I'm forgiven)
I wish I could forgive me
I wish I didn't
Wish I could drink
(Wish I could drink, wish I could drink, wish I could drink)
Wish I could drink
(Wish I could drink, wish I could drink)
Lord knows I can like a fish
Y'all I ain't just alcohol-ish (just alcohol-ish)
I'm starin' at that water bottle wonderin' if
Folks'll notice if I put a little vodka in it
Maybe rehab
Ain't just a guest house
Maybe I don't ever really check out
Just appreciate the freedom from my demons when they hush
And fight the temptation when I just wish I could drink
There's this nightmare I keep havin'
It's the worst joke I can imagine
Someone slips a little Jack in my Coke behind my back
When I take a sip and taste it
I cannot believe I just wasted all that struggle fightin' from it
And I feel sick in my stomach
'Cause the thought of startin' all over
Makes me want to get the opposite of sober, so bad
And I'm so mad I could kill whoever did it
And I wake up swingin'
But all I hit is air
And I realize I was just dreamin'
And I take a deep breath
And I thank God there's not a drop of Jack on it
And I think, hey
Maybe there is such thing as a good bad dream
'Cause at that moment I don't
Wish I could drink
Wish I could drink
Wish I could drink
Wish I could drink, uh
Wish I could drink, uh
Wish I could drink, uh
Uh
Lookin' at my knuckles so white
Holdin' on to my hotel bed so tight
'Cause I know if I let go I'm gonna follow the sound
Of that piano out of my room and down
To the lounge where I'ma mess it all up
It's been four years since I reeked of alcohol, but

Wish I could drink
(Wish I could drink, wish I could drink, wish I could drink)
Wish I could drink
(Wish I could drink, wish I could drink)
