Midnight Whiskey Tears

Barstools spinning, neon's humming low

Every bottle's got a story I already know

Lost in the haze between heartache and cheer

Pour me another round, pretend you're still here

Smoke curling over faded maple floors

Your memory lingers, I can't close the doors

I'm drowning in Tennessee whiskey tears

Counting every sorrow from the lonely years

Your love was smooth, but now it's burning strong

And I'm lost in the taste of a love gone wrong

Mirrored wall reflects the man I've become

Chasing your shadow with every last drop of rum

The jukebox keeps playing that same old tune

About loving and leaving, and wishing too soon

Smoke curling over faded maple floors

Your memory lingers, I can't close the doors

I'm drowning in Tennessee whiskey tears

Counting every sorrow from the lonely years

Your love was smooth, but now it's burning strong

And I'm lost in the taste of a love gone wrong

Maybe the sunrise will chase you away

But every night, I hear the silence say

No bottle can hide what I try to forgive

Still sipping the memories I can't outlive

I'm drowning in Tennessee whiskey tears

Counting every sorrow from the lonely years

Your love was smooth, but now it's burning strong

And I'm lost in the taste of a love gone wrongSo pour me one more, before closing time

One last taste of what was never mine
