I’ve been drivin’ down this two-lane,
Chasin’ ghosts I used to know.
Your shadow’s ridin’ shotgun,
In the dust the sunset throws.
And every mile I roll keeps talkin’,
Sayin’ “boy, you can’t outrun sin,”
But I’ve been prayin’ for redemption
Like a whisper on the wind.
You were fire on a cold night,
Lightning in a summer storm.
I was tryin’ hard to hold ya,
While you were beggin’ to be gone.
Now there’s a heartbeat in the silence
Where your laughter used to live,
And I’d trade a lifetime’s pride
For one more chance to forgive.
But love goes down
Like whiskey on the wind—
Burns too fast, then it’s gone again.
Leaves you standin’
With nothin’ but the truth,
And three a.m. still tastes like you.
Yeah, I’d give anything
To feel something again…
But love goes down
Like whiskey on the wind.
I can hear your mama’s prayers still
Ringin’ in my shattered bones.
She said, “son, don’t let a good thing
Turn to rust beneath your soul.”
But I was stubborn as the gravel
On that road we used to drive,
Never knew the cost of freedom
Was the price of losin’ you tonight.
And I swear I ain’t been drinkin’,
Just the memories pourin’ through.
’Cause even stone knows how to crumble
When it’s built around the truth.
I’m still learnin’ how to carry
What I should’ve held back then—
But baby, if you’re out there,
I’d start over once again.
’Cause love goes down
Like whiskey on the wind—
Burns too fast, then it’s gone again.
Leaves you standin’
With nothin’ but the truth,
And three a.m. still tastes like you.
Yeah, I’d give anything
To feel something again…
But love goes down
Like whiskey on the wind.
If forever had a back road,
I’d be turnin’ ’round tonight.
Tryin’ hard to find forgiveness
In your tail lights outta sight.
But the sky keeps fallin’ open
And the stars just won’t pretend—
They remind me what I’m missin’
When I whisper your name again.
Love goes down
Like whiskey on the wind—
Burns too fast, then it’s gone again.
Leaves you standin’
With nothin’ but the truth,
And three a.m. still tastes like you.
Yeah, I’d give anything
To feel something again…
But love goes down
Like whiskey on the wind.
