Whiskey and Revenge

(Verse 1) He was workin’ late at the corner store, Tryin’ to make ends meet, not askin’ for more. But the devil walked in with a mask and a gun, And in one cruel moment, my whole world was done. (Pre-Chorus) Now I stare at his boots by the front door, An empty chair where he won’t sit no more. I’ve traded tears for bourbon, grief for rage, And my heart’s a storm that can’t be caged. (Chorus) I drown myself in whiskey, but it don’t kill the pain, Every shot just fuels the fire burnin’ in my veins. I’ve got a pistol and a prayer, and I’ll meet him in the end, No law can hold me back from whiskey and revenge. (Verse 2) They say justice will come if you give it time, But they don’t see the shadows that haunt my mind. The sheriff talks of trials, of right and wrong, But his words don’t sing in my husband’s song. (Pre-Chorus) I can still feel his touch, hear his laugh at night, But it’s drowned by the roar of the barroom fights. I’m a woman scorned, with nothing to lose, And a list of sins that’s about to include... (Chorus) I drown myself in whiskey, but it don’t kill the pain, Every shot just fuels the fire burnin’ in my veins. I’ve got a pistol and a prayer, and I’ll meet him in the end, No law can hold me back from whiskey and revenge. (Bridge) The wind’s howlin’ like his final breath, A thief’s soul bound for a lonesome death. I’ll find him in the dark where cowards hide, And make him pay for every tear I’ve cried. (Chorus) I drown myself in whiskey, but it don’t kill the pain, Every shot just fuels the fire burnin’ in my veins. I’ve got a pistol and a prayer, and I’ll meet him in the end, No law can hold me back from whiskey and revenge. (Outro) When it’s done, I’ll face my maker’s eyes, With blood on my hands, no alibis. He took my world, now I’ll take his sin, And I’ll drown my soul in whiskey and revenge.
