Wishful Drinking
Thought somethin' strong, straight, on the rocks
Could numb the pain
Thought I could use a night alone without hearing your name
Thought a little late night flirting
Would help my all day hurting
But it ain't doing a damn thing
Still feel the same

Whiskey and Thinking
Ain't nothing but wishful drinking
Ain't nothing but a buzz
Mixed with what was
And that last cigarette

Even the high and the burn of this 90 proof
Only keeps telling the truth
Whiskey and Thinking
Ain't nothing but wishful drinking

I wish this old bar stool I'm sittin' on
Was our couch
And this small talk with a stranger was us
Working it out
We had our old love song
On the 45 all night lng
Instead of this sad band
Singing the blues right now

Whiskey and Thinking
Ain't nothing but wishful drinking
Ain't nothing but a buzz
Mixed with what was
And that last cigarette

Even the high and the burn of this 90 proof
Only keeps telling the truth
Whiskey and Thinking
Ain't nothing but wishful drinking

Well the truth is
I can't wish you back
Well the truth is
I can't wish you away

Whiskey and Thinking
Ain't nothing but wishful drinking
Ain't nothing but a buzz
Mixed with what was
And that last cigarette
Even the high and the burn of this 90 proof
Only keeps telling the truth
Whiskey and Thinking
Ain't nothing but wishful drinking

Whiskey and Thinking
Ain't nothing but wishful drinking
