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|
