Whiskey Whispers

Missed your call the other night

The moon was drunk on borrowed light

Every ring was a bullet fight Whiskey whispers

Shadows crawl Your name’s the loudest echo of all

Running to you Running blind Never want this secret to unwind Date nights lost in smoky haze

Late nights burned in fiery blaze Your voice haunts me in crooked ways At 8 you whispered

"don’t let go" Now I’m chasing what I used to know

Missed her call the night ran long Whiskey burned where I belong Her voice a ghost in the dial tone

Lonely road and I'm alone Oh whispers of 8 in the dark of the night Her hand in mine under cold starlight I’m running to her but the miles don’t bend Don’t ever want what we have to end

Bar lights fade the jukebox hums Miss our date nights where time comes undone Cards on the table secrets we keep Now it’s just shadows where love used to meet The bottle ain’t her The road ain’t home Every highway sings her name

Every town feels just the same

But there’s no solace no sweet refrain

Till I hold her again Whiskey whispers Shadows crawl Your name’s the loudest echo of all Running to you Running blind

Never want this secret to unwind

The road bends sharp

The stars don’t care

My heart’s a pistol

You’re my dare

I’ll find you there

I’ll find you there
