Lyrics Wishful Drinkin' - Alan Jackson

I poured that bourbon in the glass
Sat down in the chair there by the front door
Where I watched you walk away there with my heart
And all I′ve ever cared for
Then I scrolled through our old pictures on my phone
Played a song we liked to dance to
Then I stared there at the door and hoped you'd come back through
Just the way you used to

Wishful drinkin′
Wishin' you were comin' home
Wishin′ I could take back all I didn′t do
And all that I did wrong
I know I never told you
But I love you more than I could ever say
Wishin' you had never left
And drinkin′ 'cause I′m the reason you won't stay

I sat there ′til the sun came up
Drank the last few drops there from my bottle
When I drifted off to sleep and dropped the glass
It shattered on the floor
And I stared down at the pieces and thought
That's just the way my heart's been feelin′
Took the broom and like with you
I swept those broken pieces right out of the door

Wishful drinkin′
Wishin' you were comin′ home
Wishin' I could take back all I didn′t do
And all that I did wrong
I know I never told you
But I love you more than I could ever say
Wishin' you had never left
And drinkin′ 'cause I'm the reason you won′t stay

Oh, Lord, I′m wishin' you had never left
And drinkin′ 'cause I′m the reason you won't stay
