I wish I was a car that drove you away
Cause if I was I'd slow you up and slam those brakes
I'd break down before you got halfway to your mama's place
I wish I was a car
that drove you away And I wish I was a light in the center of town
Cause if I was I'd stay on red till your gas ran out
And have you
given time in that old bar that we used to close down
But if I can't be the car or the light in the center of town
Then I wish I was anything but the fool that I feel like
Anything but the guy that let you say goodbye
Cause I know being me ain't gonna bring you
back this time So tonight
Baby I,
I wish I was the drink
you stopped in for Cause if I was I'd be the strongest
one they'd pour And you'd be sipping on your feelings hoping
I'd walk through the door But if I can't be the car or the light or
the drink you stopped in for Then I
wish I was the band playing in that bar
Cause if I was I wouldn't give a damn about that tub jar
And I'd only play the sad ones that cut right through your heart
But if I can't be the car or the light
or the drink or the band in the bar
Then I wish I was anything but the fool that I feel
like Anything but the guy that let you say goodbye
Cause I know being me
ain't gonna bring you back this time So tonight Baby I,
I wish I was the band you hear
The drink you need,
the light you hear And if I can't be the man that gets you to stay
Then I wish I was the car that drove you away
