[Verse 1] Well the night rolls in like a long-lost friend, And the lanterns start to glow. I’ve danced with fools and broken rules In towns you’ll never know. But pour me one, just one more round, Let it chase away the shame— ’Cause heartache’s just an old routine, And whiskey knows my name. ⸻ [Chorus] Oh, whiskey knows my name, boys, Better than the one I left behind. It warms me when I’m lonely, Tells the truth I never find. And though I smile like a lady, I ain’t playin’ any game— I’m just croonin’ to the midnight, Where the whiskey knows my name. ⸻ [Verse 2] Silk and lace hang loose on me, In a life that’s worn and wild. I’ve kissed a man from every land, And one who stayed for a while. So I sway into the darkness, Let the night forget its shame— This old piano keeps my secrets, And the whiskey knows my name. ⸻ [Chorus] Oh, whiskey knows my name, boys, Better than the one I left behind. It warms me when I’m lonely, Tells the truth I never find. And though I smile like a lady, I ain’t playin’ any game— I’m just croonin’ to the midnight, Where the whiskey knows my name. ⸻ [Verse 3] All dressed up in satin dreams, In a town that never grows. They cheer me when the whiskey’s poured, But where I’ll end up, no one knows. ’Cause when this old piano quiets down, And the night forgets my name— I’ll slip out with the moonlight, boys… And the whiskey knows my name. ⸻ [Final Chorus] Oh, whiskey knows my name, boys, Better than the one I left behind. It warms me when I’m lonely, Tells the truth I never find. And though I smile like a lady, I ain’t playin’ any game— I’m just croonin’ to the midnight, Where the whiskey knows my name.
