Whiskey on my mind

**Verse 1:**

I woke up this mornin', my rifle by my side

The memories of war still echoin', deep down inside

I've been from desert storms to city streets

But nothin' calms my nerves like a shot of whiskey neat

**Chorus:**

Whiskey on my mind, a rebel in my heart

The ghosts of my past, they never depart

I'm a soldier, a hunter, a man on the run

With a bottle in my hand, and a beauty, I've just begun

**Verse 2:**

I met a woman in a small town, she stole my heart away

Her smile shined bright like a southern day

She said, "You put that gun down, and hold me tight"

I laid my rifle down, and we danced through the night

**Chorus:**

Whiskey on my mind, a rebel in my heart

The ghosts of my past, they never depart

I'm a soldier, a hunter, a man on the run

With a bottle in my hand, and a beauty, I've just begun

**Bridge:**

From the front lines to the honky-tonk floor

I'll drink my sorrows, and sing for more

My country's callin', my heart beats strong

But with you by my side, I'll never be wrong

**Verse 3:**

My gun's my companion, through the dark of night

But your lovin' arms, they're my shinin' light

Whiskey's my solace, but you're my peaceful nest

With you, I find my haven, and my heart finds rest

**Chorus:**

Whiskey on my mind, a rebel in my heart

The ghosts of my past, they never depart

I'm a soldier, a hunter, a man on the run

With a bottle in my hand, and a beauty, I've just begun

**Outro:**

Now, I'll raise my glass, to the ones I've loved

To the battles fought, and the ones sent above

To the whiskey, the brothers, and the women too

And to the memories, that I'll always hold true.
