Clark Terri - I Wish He'd Been Drinkin' Whiskey lyrics

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
