I Wish He'd Been Drinkin' Whiskey Lyrics - Life Goes On - Terri Clark

I used to think it was all in the drink 

It made him the way that he was 

He swore he'd change, poured it all down the drain 

And finally he'd given it up 

But tonight in the kitchen 

I sat there and listened 

To words he could never take back 

I didn't see no Jack or Jim Beam 

He was drinking his coffee black

Oh, I wish he'd been drinkin' whiskey 

When he told me he didn't love me 

But he was stone cold sober 

He meant what he said 

And he did what he did 

'Cause in his heart it was already over 

The truth doesn't lie 

So I can't deny it like I've always done before 

Oh, I wish he'd been drinkin' whiskey 

When he told me he didn't love me no more 

Photos 

He used to come home drunk to the bone 

After he'd stayed out all night 

He'd start slammin' doors and pacin' the floors 

And we'd always end up in a fight 

but tonight there's no screaming 

Just the sound of him leaving 

And the silence that rings in my ears 

This house is dry, but for the very first time 

I wish there was a bottle 'round here 

(REPEAT ) 

Yeah, I wish he'd been drinkin' whiskey 

When he told me he didn't love me no more
