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
