Aaron Watson - Wish I Could Say I'd Been Drinking

Well I've done some things that I can't undo


I took your trust and I tore it into


No man in his right mind would have said it's over


Still I told you goodbye completely sober





I wish I could say I'd been drinking


And blame the bottle but I've never been one to booze


Lord only knows what I was thinking


Wish I could say I'd been drinking


Even that's just a fool's excuse





My mama knows her baby boy knows better


It's gonna break her heart to hear we're not together


She's always said she cares so much for you


So what is she gonna say about the hell I've put you through





I wish I could say I'd been drinking


And blame the bottle but I've never been one to booze


Lord only knows what I was thinking


Wish I could say I'd been drinking


Even that's just a fool's excuse





Even Tennessee whiskey couldn't wash away the pain


Watered down with teardrops over light Kentucky rain





I wish I could say I'd been drinking


And blame the bottle but I've never been one to booze


Lord only knows what I was thinking


Wish I could say I'd been drinking


Even that's just a fool's excuse





I wish I could say I'd been drinking


And blame the bottle but I've never been one to booze


Lord only knows what I was thinking


Wish I could say I'd been drinking


Even that's just a fool's excuse
