Whiskey nightmares

3 o’clock in the morning, baby

I can’t even close my eyes

Can’t find my baby, and I can’t be satisfied

I missed you today, so quietly

So quietly, no one noticed

But to me. It was so loud

So loud it drowned, out the thunder

Cause I’m stuck in the smoke and the world keeps turning.

Are these whiskey nightmares real or just the ghosts I keep returning?

Shadows on the ceiling, all the lessons I’m not learning,

Chasing after echoes of a calm I’m still yearning.

Drinking til the last drop of the bottle

Can’t stop, no matter how much I try

Gonna keep riding, until I drop

Whiskey tears, to erase my fears

I played it on the radio, while you were sleeping

Just to let you know,

And for the first time in a while, I’m getting to close to the fire

“’Cause I’m stuck in the smoke and the world keeps turning.

Are these whiskey nightmares real or just the ghosts I keep returning?

Shadows on the ceiling, all the lessons I’m not learning,

Chasing after echoes of a calm I’m still yearning.”
