Wish I Could Drink - 8Track

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 Imma 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 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 twenty-one But nah Imma 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 Maybe they won't start 'Cause they watched me quitin' Maybe they forgot 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 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' 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
