Wish I Could Say I Was Drinking

Wish I could say that I was drinkin'
Blame it all on a bottle of booze
Then I would know that I wasn't thinkin'
Walkin' away from a woman like you

When I told you it was over
Wish I had been high on 90 proof
Instead of stone-cold sober
Without one good excuse

Neon lights and dark whiskey
They could be my alibi
I'd still be sittin' here lonely
But I'd sleep better knowin' why

Wish I could say that I was drinkin'
Blame it on a jug of sweet red wine
Then I would know that I wasn't thinkin'
Leavin' a woman like you behind

Wish this story had more to it
One good reason for goodbye
Like the Devil made me do it
But that would only be a lie
