I Wished It Was You Lyrics by Cody Johnson
I should’ve left that last one on the bar
Stumbled my ass back home in the dark
Fell asleep alone with the TV on, but I didn’t
If I didn’t do my best to mess it up before, I’ve done it now
By the time her eyes met mine, I drank enough to make Jack Daniels proud
But you won’t pick up, so you don’t know the truth
It was late, I was drunk, and I wished it was you
She might have told me, but I can’t recall her name
I guess the fool in me thought it might feel the same
Told myself a lie, even closed my eyes, but it was different
If I didn’t do my best to mess it up before, I’ve done it now
By the time her eyes met mine, I drank enough to make Hank Williams proud
But you won’t pick up, so you don’t know the truth
It was late, I was drunk, and I wished it was you
Last time I called, it didn’t even ring
And it ain’t like you owe me anything
So I guess that’s just that
It’s time to face the fact
That you ain’t coming back
And if I didn’t do my best to mess it up before, I’ve done it now
By the time her eyes met mine, I drank enough to make the Devil frown
I know you don’t care, but just in case you do
It was late, I was drunk, and I wished it was you
And it was late, I was drunk, and I wished it was you
