Whiskey’ Friends

Verse 1

Barstool confessions, neon on my skin

Clock stuck at midnight, let the regret roll in

I said I’m done for good, swore I’d let it end

But the door swings open and it starts again

Brown eyes cut through smoke, yeah they pull me close

Every promise I broke sittin’ heavy in my throat

I tell myself I’m fine, yeah, I play pretend

But it’s me, the glass, and my old bad habits

Pre-Chorus

I tried to put you up, hide you on the shelf

But you know my weakness better than myself

Every time I say I’m done, I lie

‘Cause goodbye don’t ever last all night

Chorus

Whiskey, whiskey, won’t you go away?

You keep callin’ up her name

She was here, now she gone again

Now it’s me and all my whiskey friends

I don’t wanna wonder where she’s been

But I’m tired of it… yeah, I’m tired of it

Verse 2

Two-step shadows on a dusty floor

Diamond lights, but I’m missin’ her more

Laughs get loud but my mind stays stuck

On a love I lost and can’t give up

Country drawl when she says my name

Got me feelin’ things I can’t explain

I know better, still I dive right in

One more round for my better judgment

Pre-Chorus

Cold glass, burn slow, straight to my chest

Tryna drown a memory that won’t rest

I say “this is it,” then I fall again

Same song playin’ with my whiskey friends

Chorus

Whiskey, whiskey, won’t you go away?

Come back some other day

‘Cause her memory came out to play

And I don’t wanna feel this way

She was here, now she gone again

Now it’s me and all my whiskey friends

And I’m tired of it… tired of it

Bridge

If love’s a habit, I’m addicted bad

If pain’s a price, I already paid that tab

I know the truth but I don’t listen

When the bottle starts talkin’, I’m missin’ her

Outro

Last call echoes like her goodbye

Same old story, different night

I raise my glass, let the hurt stay in

Me, the dark, and my whiskey friends
