[Verse] Sittin' in a smoky bar, 'neath the neon glow, Nothin' but a heartache, and time movin' slow. Drownin' in the silence, where her voice used to be, Tonight I'm chasin' shadows with just a bottle and me. [Verse 2] Every glass of whiskey, like a snapshot of her face, The taste of love long faded, in this lonesome place. Bartender wipes the counter, knows the story well, He slides another bottle, when the tears swell. [Chorus] The whiskey's goin' down when her memory comes up, I'm fightin' off the shadows with a half-filled cup. Bartender, pass the bottle, a shot won't do, I'm drownin' her memory 'neath the neon moon [Verse 3] Her laughter haunts the corners, echoes in the room, The jukebox plays a sad song, deepening the gloom. Each sip a bitter comfort, each thought a jagged thorn, In this sea of amber, my heartbreak's reborn. [Chorus] The whiskey's goin' down when her memory comes up, I'm fightin' off the shadows with a half-filled cup. Bartender, pass the bottle, a shot won't do, I'm drownin' her memory 'neath the neon moon [Bridge] Midnight's long for leavin', dawn's a distant shore, This bar my fragile lifeboat, I can't take much more. But in the haze of liquor, I find a brief reprieve, Floatin' on a river of the tears I've yet to grieve. bottle, a shot won't do, I'm drownin' her memory 'neath the neon moon
