If only my spouse treated me better
What if my candidate became president?
If my dog didn’t pee on the carpet
I wouldn’t drink today
If only my friend would call soon
What if global warming could be abated?
If it didn’t snow so much
I wouldn’t drink today
If only my mother was a kind woman
What if organizations ran better?
If my cat didn’t shed on my chair
I wouldn’t drink today
If only neighbors were dependable
What if war became obsolete?
If my car ran perfectly
I wouldn’t drink today
If only I didn’t drink everyday!
What if I never drank to not care?
If I don’t drink today
I won’t be ashamed tonight
