Whiskey Wishes

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
