[Verse 1] Creek runs dry where we used to fish, Still hear your laugh in the mornin' mist That old oak leans like it's missin' you I lean on it with a bottle, just missin' you too [Chorus 1] And I pour one out, let the whiskey fall, Watch it soak that dirt like a waterfall Now I know Ain’t no prayer, can bring you back there, Know you're up somewhere, sippin’ on the angel’s share. [Verse 2] All the Bootprints fade from where we used to stand, Side by side with a jar in hand. You took the ride that don’t turn back, And Left me here with a heart gone black. (And a flask) [Chorus 2] And I pour one out, let the whiskey fall, Watch it soak that dirt like a waterfall Now I know Ain’t no prayer, can bring you back there, Know you're up somewhere, sippin’ on the angel’s share. [Verse 3] Up there in the quiet, with the wind and the flame, Sippin' that fire with no hurt, no shame. With a front row seat to a golden sky, And a bottle that never runs dry. [Chorus 3] So I pour one out, let the whiskey fall, Watch it soak that dirt like a waterfall Now I know Ain’t no prayer, can bring you back there, Know you're up somewhere, sippin’ on the angel’s share. [Bridge] You raised your glass when life got rough, Now I do the same when mine ain’t enough. [Final Chorus] So I pour one out, let the whiskey fall, To the roots, to the rain, to the memory of it all. Ain’t no preacher that could send a prayer, Truer than you, sippin’ the angel’s share. Yeah, I see you there — Sippin’ slow… the angel’s share.
