[Verse] (Haunting modern country ballad with smoky guitar intro, acoustic strums, pedal steel swells, punchy drums, and soaring harmonies. Polished Nashville radio sound with emotional dynamic shifts.) [Chorus] (Electric guitar riff, pedal steel swell, driving drums) (Gritty male vocals) [Outro] (Electric guitar solo, fade out) Verse 1 Empty glass on the window sill, Chasing shadows I can’t kill. Every night you slip away, But your ghost is here to stay. Pre-Chorus The bottle fades but you don’t leave, Your memory cuts, your memory bleeds. I’m still drinking just to find, A piece of you I left behind. Chorus Whiskey dawn, burning slow, Another night I can’t let go. Love’s a fire I can’t outrun, I wake alone in the whiskey dawn. Verse 2 Streetlights fade as the morning comes, Another night of coming undone. Your perfume lingers, but it’s gone, Like the promise of a song. Pre-Chorus The bottle fades but you don’t leave, Your memory cuts, your memory bleeds. I’m still drinking just to find, A piece of you I left behind. Chorus Whiskey dawn, burning slow, Another night I can’t let go. Love’s a fire I can’t outrun, I wake alone in the whiskey dawn. Bridge If the sun could wash me clean, I’d trade it all for one last dream. But every morning proves me wrong, I’m haunted by a whiskey dawn. Final Chorus Whiskey dawn, burning slow, Another night I can’t let go. Love’s a fire I can’t outrun, I wake alone in the whiskey dawn.
