Friday night rolls around in this city
And my week of workin' is done
I got some bread and I'm sittin' pretty
Tonight I need to have some fun
My friends all say it's best its over
And they're taking me out on the town
To celebrate that I'm free
And toast your memory
Disappearing with every new round

Wishful drinkin' let's make it a double
Then maybe all my wishes will come true
Like I wish we'd never met
And that I could forget
Wishful drinkin' still thinkin' 'bout you

Well I'm feelin' just fine around midnight
And I'm flirtin' with somebody new
She's sweet as she can be
But then it dawned on me
Right there in her eyes I saw you

Wishful drinkin' let's make it a double
They maybe all my wishes will come true
Like I wish we'd never met
And that I could forget
Wishful drinkin' still thinkin' 'bout you

Tequila, whiskey, champagne and wine
Just don't seem to get you off my mind
When you wish upon a star they tell you
All the dreams that you dream will come true
When you wish upon a bar
No matter who you are
It's just one more headache when you're through

Wishful drinkin' let's make it a double
They maybe all my wishes will come true
Like I wish we'd never met
And that I could forget
Wishful drinkin' still thinkin' 'bout you, yeah
