River of Tears

[intro musical solo] [Verse] A river of tears runs through this dusty town, Your memory like an old freight train, weighin' me down. I've tried to drown it out with the Tennessee moon, But heartache's a song that'll outlast this tune. [Chorus] A river of tears and a shot of whiskey, From a Mason jar that you left with me. Can't wash away what we used to be, No, these broken dreams just won't set me free. [Verse 2] Your love was a fire, but it left me cold, Now your brown eyes haunt me like a ghost that won't grow old. I've tried to sail away on a bottle's embrace, But the shore's out of reach and I've lost the race. [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] Every drop of bourbon, every tear I cry, Is another mile further from where our love used to lie. I've tried to find solace in the amber glow, But it's a long, dark road to letting you go. [Verse 3] The jukebox plays our song, and I can’t escape, Every note reminds me of my own mistake. I’ve walked that riverbank, from dusk till dawn, But the pain rolls on, and the memories stay strong. A river of tears and a shot of whiskey, From a Mason jar that you left with me. Can't wash away what we used to be, No, these broken dreams just won't let me free. [outro musical solo fade to end] [end]
