Verse 1 The jukebox don’t care if I’m dyin’ The steel guitar cuts like a knife You said you’re leavin’ come the mornin’ So I’m beggin’ for one last night Chorus Give me a whiskey waltz before you go Spin me around ‘til I can’t say no Don’t talk about forever, I can’t take that blow Just give me a whiskey waltz before you go Verse 2 Your shadow’s already leavin’ But your hand still fits in mine If goodbye’s the truth you’re keepin’ Let me live the lie one more time Chorus Give me a whiskey waltz before you go Spin me around ‘til I can’t say no Don’t talk about forever, I can’t take that blow Just give me a whiskey waltz before you go Bridge Smoke and neon blur the pain But your silence screams my name I’ll drink ‘til the memory fades But tonight, don’t walk away Final Chorus Give me a whiskey waltz before you go Spin me slow ‘neath the barroom glow Don’t talk about forever, I can’t take that blow Just give me a whiskey waltz before you go
