Verse 1: I woke up this mornin', with a heavy heart and a sigh, Dreamin' of my hometown, under that southern sky. The river's runnin' muddy, and the fields are brown and dry, Oh, how I miss that old place, makes a grown man wanna cry. Chorus: Pour me a glass of whiskey, let it burn away my pain, In this lonely city, where the sun don't feel the same. The bottle is my comfort, in this cold and lonesome game, Whiskey helps me forget, but it don't erase your name. Verse 2: The wind through the willows, and the sweet magnolia's bloom, Mama's in the kitchen, hummin' a sad, old tune. Daddy's on the front porch, watchin' the stars and the moon, Lord, I miss that simple life, here in this crowded room. Chorus: Pour me a glass of whiskey, let it burn away my pain, In this lonely city, where the sun don't feel the same. The bottle is my comfort, in this cold and lonesome game, Whiskey helps me forget, but it don't erase your name. Bridge: The blues is all I carry, in my heart and in my soul, This city's got me feelin' like I'm always in a hole. But that whiskey keeps me movin', though it takes a heavy toll, One more sip, one more night, tryin' to make myself whole. Chorus: Pour me a glass of whiskey, let it burn away my pain, In this lonely city, where the sun don't feel the same. The bottle is my comfort, in this cold and lonesome game, Whiskey helps me forget, but it don't erase your name. Outro: So I'll raise my glass to memories, of a place I used to know, Where the nights were filled with laughter, and the days moved slow. Though I'm far away from home now, and the tears begin to flow, Whiskey is my companion, in this endless, lonesome show.
