Whiskey & a Cigar

Verse 1

The sun sinks low behind the bar

Dust on my boots, scars on my heart

A neon sign hums soft and slow

Like it knows things I don’t wanna know

Verse 2

Oakwood burnin’ in this glass

Time moves forward, thinkin’ back

I light one up, let the world slow down

Watch the smoke chase the lights of town

Chorus

It’s just whiskey and a cigar tonight

Two old friends in the pale moonlight

No need for words, they know who we are

Just me, my thoughts, whiskey and a cigar

Verse 3

Every sip tastes like yesterday

Every drag won’t let me pray

I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve gone too far

But I’m still standin’ where I are

Chorus

Yeah, whiskey and a cigar tonight

Keepin’ me warm when it don’t feel right

Life leaves marks, both near and far

I heal ’em slow with whiskey and a cigar

Bridge

If tomorrow comes knockin’ on my door

I’ll face it like I’ve done before

With steady hands and a worn guitar

And the last draw of a faded cigar

Final Chorus

So here’s to dreams that didn’t go far

And the man I was and the man I are

Under southern stars, no matter how hard

I find my peace with whiskey and a cigar

Outro

When the bottle’s low and the smoke drifts far

I’ll fade away… with whiskey and a cigar
