Wishful Drinkin'
I was sippin' a beer, mindin' my own
It this waterin' hole in San Antone.
When this filly came waltzin' in.
I just about fell plum off my seat
As I strained my neck checking her physique.
I was wishful drinkin' once again
Wishful drinkin'
It happens all the time.
They'd lock me far away
If it was a crime.
Wishful drinkin'
Is my one and only sin.
Lord, please forgive me
I'm wishful drinkin' again.
On the barroom TV, they drew lotto balls.
I checked out my ticket as they began to fall.
I shouted YeeHi with a big ol' grin.
I won the big one, bought the house a round.
Saw it was last week's ticket, then came a frown.
Looks like wishful drinkin' again.
Wishful drinkin'
It happens all the time.
They'd lock me far away
If it was a crime.
Wishful drinkin'
Is my one and only sin.
Lord, please forgive me
I'm wishful drinkin' again.
I've always been a dreamer,
My wanderin' mind starts thinkin'
It's never any trouble
Until I start wishful drinkin'
Wishful drinkin'
It happens all the time.
They'd lock me far away
If it was a crime.
Wishful drinkin'
Is my one and only sin.
Lord, please forgive me
I'm wishful drinkin' again.
