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
