    Wish 
    I could drink 


    Wish 
    I could drink 


    Wish 
    I could 
    drink 

    Wish I could 
    drink, 
    uh 

    Wish I 
    could drink, 
    uh 

    Wish 
    I could 
    drink, 
    uh 

    Verse 2
    Uh 
    Lookin' at my 

    knuckles 
    so 
    white 

    Holdin' 
    on to 
    my hotel 
    bed 
    so 
    tight 

    'Cause 
    I know if 
    I let 
    go I'm 

    gonna follow 
    the 
    sound 

    Of that 
    piano 
    out 
    of my room 
    an
    down 

    To 
    the 
    lounge 
    where I'ma 

    mess 
    it 
    all 
    up 

    It's 
    been four 
    years since 
    I reeked 
    of alcohol, 

    but 

    I've been to 
    the gym 

    three times 
    a day 

    Keep callin' 
    my 
    wife 
    and them to 
    say 

    All of 
    my 
    trashcans are filled 
    with coffee 
    cups, 

    but I still 

    Verse 3
    Wish I 
    could drink 

    (Wish I could 
    drink, 
    wish I 
    could 
    drink, 

    wish I could 
    drink) 

    Wish I 
    could drink 

    (Wish I could 
    drink, 

    wish I could 
    drink) 

    Verse 4
    Lord knows 
    can 
    like 
    a fish 

    Y'all 
    I ain't 
    just alcohol- 

    ish (just alcohol- ish) 

    I'm starin' 
    at 
    that 
    water 

    bottle 
    wonderin' 
    if 

    Folks'll 
    notice 
    if I put 
    a little 
    vodka 
    in 
    it 

    Maybe 
    rehab 

    Ain't 
    just 
    a guest 
    house

    Maybe I don't 
    ever 
    really 
    check 
    out 

    Just 
    appreciate 
    the 
    freedom 
    from my 

    demons 
    when 
    they hush 

    And 
    fight 
    the temptation 
    when 
    I just 
    wish 

    I could 
    drink 


    Verse 5

    Uh 

    Wish 
    could drink 

    Wish I 
    could have 
    a beer 
    with my 

    sons 
    when they turn 
    21 

    But 
    nah 

    I'ma 
    be holdin' 
    up 
    water 

    sayin' 
    cheers 
    with 'em 

    Tryna 
    smile 
    back, 

    the 
    time 
    flies 
    tears 
    with 'em 

    Prayin' 
    to 
    anyone 
    who would 

    listen 
    upstairs 

    They learn 
    from my 
    mistakes 

    And not 
    theirs 

    Verse 6
    Maybe 
    it's in their 
    blood 

    I hope 
    it 
    isn't 
    (I hope 
    it 
    isn't) 

    Maybe 
    they won't start 

    'Cause 
    they watched 
    me 

    quitin' 

    Maybe they forgot 
    (maybe they 

    forgot) 

    Maybe I'm for
    given 

    (maybe I'm 
    forgiven) 

    I wish 
    I could 
    forgive me 

    I wish 
    I didn't 

    Verse 7
    Wish 
    I could 
    drink 

    (Wish I could 
    drink, 
    wish I could 
    drink, 

    wish I could 
    drink) 

    Wish I 
    could drink 

    (Wish I could 
    drink, 

    wish I 
    could drink) 

    Verse 8
    Lord knows 
    can 
    like 
    a fish 

    Y'all 
    I ain't 
    just alcohol- 

    ish (just alcohol- ish) 

    I'm starin' 
    at 
    that 
    water 

    bottle 
    wonderin' 
    if 

    Folks'll 
    notice 
    if I 
    put 
    a little 
    vodka 
    in 
    it 

    Maybe 
    rehab 

    Ain't 
    just 
    a guest 
    house

    Maybe 
    I don't 
    ever 
    really 
    check 
    out 

    Just 
    appreciate 
    the 
    freedom 
    from my 

    demons 
    when 
    they hush 

    And 
    fight 
    the temptation 
    when 

    I just 
    wish 
    I could 
    drink 

    Verse 9
    There's 
    this nightmare 
    I keep 
    havin' 

    It's 
    the 
    worst 
    joke 
    I can imagine 

    Someone 
    slips 
    a little 
    Jack 
    in my 

    Coke behind 
    my 
    back 

    When I take 
    a sip 
    and taste 
    it 

    cannot 
    believe I 
    just wasted 
    all that 

    struggle 
    fightin' 
    from it 

    And I 
    feel sick 
    in my stomach 

    'Cause 
    the thought 

    of startin' 
    all over 

    Makes 
    me want to get 
    the opposite 
    of 
    sober, 

    so bad 

    And I'm 
    so mad 
    I could 
    kill 

    whoever did 
    it 

    Verse 10
    And I wake 
    up swingin' 

    But 
    all 
    I hit is 
    air 

    And 
    realize 
    I was 
    just dreamin' 

    And I 
    take a deep 
    breath 

    And I thank 
    God there's 

    not a 
    drop of 
    Jack on 
    it 

    And 
    I think, 
    hey 

    Maybe there 
    is such 
    thing 
    as 

    a good bad 
    dream 

    'Cause at that 
    moment 
    I don't 

    Outro 1
    Wish 
    I could 
    drink

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
