Whiskey Skies & Gravel Roads

Verse 1
There’s a red sun sinking by the old pine trees,
A warm wind drifting through the memories,
My shadow dancing on a broken line,
Boots full of dust but the stars still shine.
I hear a train cry down the silver track,
Like every mile calling my heart back.

Guitar Riff: bright acoustic picking with a quick hammer-on lick between chords.

Chorus
Under whiskey skies on gravel roads,
I’m carrying light, I’m dropping loads,
Every chord rings clear and true,
Every string reminds me of you.
With a six-string fire and a midnight tone,
I ain’t ever really alone.

Guitar Riff: catchy electric twang riff answering each vocal line.

Verse 2
There’s a neon sign in a roadside bar,
Old jukebox playing a worn guitar,
Laughter rising with the smoky air,
Broken hearts but we don’t care.
Coins on the table, dreams in a jar,
We’re all just wishing on a falling star.

Guitar Riff: muted strums building into a sliding country lick at the end.

Bridge
Moonlight paints the fields in blue,
Every note feels fresh and new,
Strings bend slow, then they fly,
Like lonely birds in an endless sky.

Guitar Solo: smooth bends, slide accents, melodic country phrasing with space between notes.

Final Chorus
Under whiskey skies on gravel roads,
I’m singing truths the river knows,
Every rhyme falls right in line,
Every bell of steel will shine.
With a six-string fire and a midnight tone,
This old highway feels like home.

Outro Guitar: soft descending riff with harmonics fading into silence.
