[Intro] [Verse 1] Bottle’s half full, depends who you ask Night went long, morning comes fast Floor still hums from the hours before Same old thoughts by the same old door I don’t drink to forget the truth I drink to sit with it awhile [Chorus] These whiskey blues don’t shout or beg They pull up a chair and cross their legs Ain’t here to drown me, ain’t here to save Just keep me honest, keep me awake These whiskey blues know my name They don’t judge, they just stay [Verse 2] Ice melts slow in a chipped glass ring Every burn’s got a lesson in it I’ve had luck, I’ve had drought Learned which voices to shut out Some nights teach you how to lose Some just show you what remains [Chorus] These whiskey blues don’t make demands They rest their weight on steady hands They don’t promise, they don’t excuse They just hang on like a truth you choose These whiskey blues don’t fade away They settle in and let you stay [Bridge] I don’t curse ‘em, I don’t fight They ain’t the reason, they just arrive When the room goes quiet and still They remind me who I am [Solo] [Final Chorus] These whiskey blues ain’t hard to read They sound like time and honesty If I walk out, they’ll follow through If I sit still, they sit there too These whiskey blues don’t feel like chains Just weight you learn to carry straight [Outro]
