Whiskey Wishes
A bottle of hope to remedy the past
Searching for answers in an empty glass
Paying the price of sorrows debt
Drowning the memories he'd rather forget
Every cowboy knows what it means
The whiskey wishes and diluted dreams
Sharing the bar with questions of why
Hat pulled low to cover his eyes
Telling himself a man don't cry
The battle lost but still he tries
A temporary crutch on which to lean
Those whiskey wishes and diluted dreams
Never a hint at what is felt
Playing a bluff with the hand he's dealt
The only sound a mournful groan
Sitting in silence he's left alone
Things aren't always. as bad as they seem
with whiskey wishes and diluted dreams
