Verse 1]
I light a smoke, lean back in my chair
This old porch knows every weight I bear
Bottle’s half gone, but the night’s still young
Radio hums a lonesome song unsung
[Chorus]
I’m just drinkin’ whiskey and killin’ time
Let the world keep spinnin’, I’ll toe that line
Ain’t in no hurry, pain’s got no end
So I pour another glass and pretend
[Verse 2]
There’s a picture in the drawer I don’t dare see
Of the woman who once meant the world to me
Left her name in the dust and the miles behind
Now it’s just me and the clock I can’t unwind
[Chorus]
I’m just drinkin’ whiskey and killin’ time
Let the fire burn low, I’m doin’ fine
No past to chase, no future in sight
Just a glass of brown truth every night
[New Verse 3]
The phone don’t ring, and the mail don’t come
Even the silence don’t bother me none
I watch shadows crawl across the floor
Like they’re searchin’ for what ain’t here no more
[Bridge]
Some folks find salvation in church and song
Me, I find it where the pours are strong
Ain’t proud of the man I’ve become
But he’s honest, broken, and numb
[Final Chorus]
So I’ll keep drinkin’ whiskey and killin’ time
No better cure for a heart outta line
When the silence speaks louder than pain
I just reach for the bottle again
[Outro]
Yeah, just me…
…this glass…
…and time.
