Pour another shot of whiskey, let it drown my tears,
A heart that's torn and battered, holds onto all my fears.
The road stretches before me, a ghost with heavy tread,
I walk among the shadows, where love and laughter fled.
Each mile, it whispers secrets, of a love once held so dear,
But now it’s just the echoes of your memory I hear.
Each sip a bitter promise, that you’d never leave my side,
But now I'm just a drifter, with this ache I cannot hide.
The stars they seem so distant, like the hope I used to know,
I’m chasing down these heartaches on this long and lonesome road.
With every twist and turn, I feel your spirit linger near,
Yet every time I reach for you, it’s just another shade of fear.
Whiskey warms my body, but it can’t mend my soul,
I’m lost within this twilight, where shadows take their toll.
The bourbon numbs the sorrow, but it won’t erase your name,
And all that's left is silence, as I play this losing game.
So I’ll keep on wandering, beneath this midnight sky,
With ghosts of broken promises and whiskey as my guide.
Through every bend and curve, I’ll find my way back home,
To the heart that once loved freely, now forever doomed to roam.
Pour another shot of whiskey, let it sharpen the despair,
I’ll raise a toast to heartbreak, to the love that wasn’t there.
But with the morning’s dawning light, I’ll face my heart’s heavy load,
With shadows still around me, I'll find a way to carry on this road.
Blues
Whiskey, heartbreak, lonely, road, shadows
