(Intro) (Swanky, clean electric guitar riff in G major. A steady, walking bass line and brushed drums kick in. It feels like the start of a smoky, promising night.) (Verse 1) The jukebox was cryin' some old tearjerker tune 'Bout a lost love and a lonely, empty room I was nursin' that pain, sippin' on regret Tryin' hard, baby, to try and forget The way you walked out, and slammed that door Wasn't lookin' for nothin', wasn't keepin' score Then I saw her shinin' 'cross that crowded floor. (Chorus) But she tasted like summer, a slow, sweet kiss A brand new kind of burn I surely miss Now all that I remember from that hazy, moonlit wish Is the honey on her lips, the Peach Whiskey on her kiss. Yeah, the only thing left from a night like that Is the Peach Whiskey taste where her lips were at. (Verse 2) She just smiled and took my calloused hand Didn't talk 'bout the weather or make no demands We two-stepped through the neon, through the dust and the smoke Laughed at some old joke that neither one of us spoke She was a Tennessee sunrise, I was a Montana cold Forgettin' my story that was already told Lettin' that new melody take hold. (Chorus) 'Cause she tasted like summer, a slow, sweet kiss A brand new kind of burn I surely miss Now all that I remember from that hazy, moonlit wish Is the honey on her lips, the Peach Whiskey on her kiss. Yeah, the only thing left from a night like that Is the Peach Whiskey taste where her lips were at. (Hook) Peach Whiskey, smooth and fine Washed away the memory of what was mine That juniper gin and your perfume Got lost in a honky-tonk haze and a different room. Just Peach Whiskey. (Verse 3) The last dance was a slow one, the bar lights were low Her head on my shoulder, just lettin' things go The clock struck closin', the world outside was grey She just tipped up on her toes and stole my breath away Didn't get her number, didn't catch her name Just a silhouette fadin' in the mornin' rain Leavin' me standin' there, nothin' quite the same. (Chorus) 'Cause she tasted like summer, a slow, sweet kiss A brand new kind of burn I surely miss Now all that I remember from that hazy, moonlit wish Is the honey on her lips, the Peach Whiskey on her kiss. Yeah, the only thing left from a night like that Is the Peach Whiskey taste where her lips were at. (Break) (Music pulls back to just guitar and soft pedal steel. Melancholy but peaceful.) And for the first time since you said goodbye... I didn't see your face in that starry sky. Just felt a sweet release, a little piece of peace... A gentle, fuzzy, goodbye-and-hello kind of cease. (Verse 4) Now I don't go searchin' for her in every town That magic ain't the kind you ever track down But when I feel that old heartache start to creep I order up a glass, hold the memory cheap And smile at the ghost of a healing sip From a angel in boots on a one-night trip. (Outro) (Full band comes back in, upbeat and swinging. The main guitar riff returns, swanky and bright.) Peach Whiskey on her kiss... Yeah, the only thing I miss... From a heal-in' kind of night, yeah, it went just like this... Just a little Peach Whiskey... on her kiss... (Guitar riff repeats, fades with drums and bass. Ends on a bright, resolved chord.)
