[Verse 1]
You walked in
Suit and sequins
I was boots and busted seams
You said
“Boy
I want forever”
I heard echoes in that dream
You were glitter on my barstool
I was mud on your high heels
Now your “stay” sounds like a chorus
My “baby
Please” just cracks and peels
[Chorus]
Whiskey won’t dance with me
Keeps stepping on my broken heart
Every sip’s a sad little melody
Playing your shadow in the dark
You took the rhythm out my rebel soul
Left my halo in the heat
Whiskey won’t dance with me
It just drags me off my feet (oh no)
[Verse 2]
You said love was like a fever
Burning up a restless night
Turns out you were just a teaser
Fading with the neon light
You were sugar on my lip
But you turned my sweet to stone
Now this glass spins like a record
Skipping where you once were home
[Chorus]
Whiskey won’t dance with me
Keeps stepping on my broken heart
Every sip’s a sad little melody
Playing your shadow in the dark
You took the rhythm out my rebel soul
Left my halo in the heat
Whiskey won’t dance with me
It just drags me off my feet
[Bridge]
You got your high-life
High-rise
High road
I got my low lights
Low-down
Lone road
You’re out there spinning in your Sunday shine
I’m here two-stepping with your ghost in my mind (yeah)
[Chorus]
Whiskey won’t dance with me
Keeps stepping on my broken heart
Every sip’s a sad little melody
Playing your shadow in the dark
You took the rhythm out my rebel soul
Left my halo in the heat
Whiskey won’t dance with me
It just drags me off my feet (oh, whiskey)
Whiskey won’t dance with me
Since you waltzed me to the street
