Whiskey on the Wires

(Verse 1) I got a six-string hangin', like a noose on my wall Yeah this six-string hangin', like a noose on my wall Every time I play it, I feel myself start to fall (Verse 2) She lit me up like lightning, then left me in the storm Lit me up like July, then left me cold and torn Now I’m drinkin’ with my shadow, tryin’ to keep this bottle warm (Chorus) Got whiskey on the wires, burnin’ through my veins Yeah, whiskey on the wires, like thunder on a chain Every note I bend is screamin’ out her name (Verse 3) My boots drag slow through these Austin streets Boots drag slow, can’t find no heat Only thing talkin’ to me is the blues beneath my feet (Bridge) Let that Strat cry, Lord... Let it bleed... (Verse 4) Now the neon flickers, and the night don’t sleep Yeah that neon flickers, while the pain cuts deep I play that Texas shuffle, but I cry when I weep (Chorus) Whiskey on the wires, tears in the tone Yeah, whiskey on the wires, playin’ all alone She left with the sunrise, now the night’s my only home (Outro) Got that Stevie sting… With a Leadbelly moan… Hooker's ghost in the corner, Just noddin’ along…
