Wish You Well

I hit the bottle baby

I lost some time

I did it all so I'd get you off my mind

I gave the act a cleaning

Dry as a bone

I beat the shakes, you break, pick up the phone

Just to win back my baby's heart

And to tell her I would never tire

Let it ride, yet you know it's wrong

Being the love that you know is gone

I'll be the rock that you perish upon

Hit the road together

And walk the line

Tryin' to make it like the good ol' times

But soon the fires started

Went out of phase

I didn't wanna but you made me say, baby

I didn't change, I didn't change, I'm still here

Let it ride, let it ride and you'll see

Come on now, what went wrong? I told all here

I didn't mean you no harm or nothing

Except to set you, my baby, free

Whatever kept you from leavin' me?

She says "It isn't workin'"

She's had her fill

Don't have it now, don't think we ever will

I don't begrudge you nothing

I wish you well

I wish you everything you wish yourself, baby

I didn't change, I didn't change, I'm still here oh

Let it ride, let it ride and you'll see

Come on now, what went wrong? I told all here

I didn't mean you no harm or nothing

Except to set you, my baby, free

Whatever kept you from leavin' me?
