Written by Travis Tritt & Gary Rossington



When you told me you were leaving

Girl I didn't believe a word

'Cause to think that you'd walk out on me

Just sounded too absurd

I'd like to change the things I did

That tore our love apart

But that's just wishful thinking on my part



Chorus:

Well I'm hoping and I'm praying

You'll give me one more try

'Cause it's an awful price I'm paying

With the tear drops that I've cried

I guess I should have listened

If I had only been that smart

But that's just wishful thinking on my part



I found out it's the little things

That made our house a home

You'd be surprised how much I've learned

Every day since you've been gone

But I wished I'd learned that lesson

Before it broke my heart

But that's just wishful thinking on my part



Chorus



Well that's just wishful thinking on my part
