| 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 |
