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
