If Wishes Were Whiskey

If wishes were whiskey, I’d tilt in the wind. 
You’d hear your phone ringing, know it’s just me again.
I’d cry to strangers, I’d put curses on planes,
I’d dance with the bad girls, I’d be feeling no pain.

If wishes were whiskey, I’d drink the whole store,
And waste all my wishes on wishing for more.
I think I might be floating away. 
It’s so sad and so funny. I wish I could stay.

If wishes were whiskey, really good stuff, 
That old God of yours could come call my bluff.
If He needs a Job, He can come work on me. 
I’d sing Him a psalm that would set Him free.
I’d sing Him a psalm that would set Him free. 
If wishes were whiskey.

If wishes were whiskey, I’d wish myself home. 
I’d stay up all night writing you poems.
Single malt, pre-war, made out of dreams. 
If wishes were whiskey, I’d drink rivers and streams.

I’d drink rivers and streams of that really good stuff. 
And that old God of yours could come call my bluff.
If He needs a Job, He can come work on me. 
I’d sing Him a psalm that would set Him free.
I’d sing Him a psalm that would set Him free. 
If wishes were whiskey.
