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
