Candy Cane Whiskey Blues

(Verse 1)
Got a fire in the hearth and frost on the pane,
But this holiday heartache’s driving me insane.
Poured some candy-cane whiskey in a stocking-red glass,
Trying to let the memories pass.

(Chorus)
I got the Candy Cane Whiskey Blues,
On a cold December night.
Feeling lost in Christmas lights—
Without you, nothing feels right.
Yeah, these Candy Cane Whiskey Blues
Cut deeper than I knew.

(Verse 2)
The radio plays jolly, but it don’t reach me,
Every carol just echoes where you used to be.
Still I toast your name with a bitter cheer,
Hoping Christmas brings you near.

(Bridge)

Maybe snow can cover heartbreak,
Maybe time can pull me through…
But this whiskey tastes like Christmas,
And every drop tastes like you.

(Final Chorus)
Candy Cane Whiskey Blues—
Melting into the dawn.
If you find your way back home, girl,
These blues will all be gone.
