**Verse 1** [Steel Guitar and Soft Piano Intro]
Well, I pulled into that old tavern, the neon lights were low,
Thought I’d drown my heartache, let the whiskey flow.
The jukebox played our favorite song, it hit me like a knife,
Every note a memory, of our once perfect life.
**Chorus**
Drinkin’ and tears, they go hand in hand,
Pourin’ out my sorrows in this lonely land.
Each shot’s a reminder of the love we lost,
Drinkin’ and tears, baby, it’s a heavy cost.
**Verse 2**
The bartender knows my story, he pours without a word,
Says “Son, you’re not the first one, to feel this kind of hurt.”
I raise my glass to the shadows, to the ghosts that haunt my mind,
Every sip’s a whisper, of the love I left behind.
**Chorus**
Drinkin’ and tears, they go hand in hand,
Pourin’ out my sorrows in this lonely land.
Each shot’s a reminder of the love we lost,
Drinkin’ and tears, baby, it’s a heavy cost.
**Verse 3**
The moonlight through the window, it’s a cruel old friend,
As I chase these memories, I know I can’t pretend.
With every drop I swallow, I’m drowning in despair,
But the whiskey’s just a band-aid for this heart I can’t repair.
**Chorus**
Drinkin’ and tears, they go hand in hand,
Pourin’ out my sorrows in this lonely land.
Each shot’s a reminder of the love we lost,
Drinkin’ and tears, baby, it’s a heavy cost.
**Fade Out (x7)**
Drinkin’ and tears, they go hand in hand,
Pourin’ out my sorrows in this lonely land…
Drinkin’ and tears, they go hand in hand,
Pourin’ out my sorrows in this lonely land…
Drinkin’ and tears, they go hand in hand,
Pourin’ out my sorrows in this lonely land…
Drinkin’ and tears, they go hand in hand,
Pourin’ out my sorrows in this lonely land…
Drinkin’ and tears, they go hand in hand,
Pourin’ out my sorrows in this lonely land…
Drinkin’ and tears, they go hand in hand,
Pourin’ out my sorrows in this lonely land…
Drinkin’ and tears, they go hand in hand,
Pourin’ out my sorrows in this lonely land…
