Whiskey in His Veins

He walks the streets with a heavy heart

His story’s written in the shadows

Torn apart

The cobblestones whisper of battles he’s faced

A pint in his hand but dreams misplaced

The pub lights flicker like stars in the night

He hums a tune that don't feel quite right

The wind carries secrets

The kind you can’t tame

He’s a man of the blues

Without a name

Oh Irish man with whiskey in his veins

Singing sorrow like a hymn in the rain

Your soul’s a river

Deep and wide

Lost in the blues where shadows collide

His boots are worn

They've danced on pain

Through Dublin alleys

Through storm and rain

Each step’s a beat

Each breath’s a sigh

A melody crafted by tears he can’t hide

The ghosts of the past

They’re howling low

He’s chasing dreams in a whiskey glow

The guitar strings weep as his fingers play

A song for the dawn that never stays

Oh Irish man with whiskey in his veins

Singing sorrow like a hymn in the rain

Your soul’s a river

Deep and wide

Lost in the blues where shadows collide
