The Whiskey Dog

Verse 1

It’s a quarter to one, last call rings through the air

Your hat hangs on the wall, reminds me you are here

So I take my last drink, close my eyes, let it slide

Picture your hand on my thigh

It’s all coming back to me

This place… your touch… your smile

Build / Pre-Chorus

You’re not here, but God I still smell your cologne

Your voice isn’t real, but I still hear, “baby take me home”

⸻

Chorus

From the Whiskey Dog where we started it all

Where we fell in love dancing all night long

Every time I try to forget, I don’t get very far

I find myself sitting where you used to sit

At the Whiskey Dog bar

⸻

Verse 2

Neon lights flicker like they’re calling your name

Same old songs playing but they don’t feel the same

Bartender knows me, pours it strong every time

Says “you’ll get through it,” but I know he’s lying

Cause every corner in this place

Still holds your ghost… your face

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You’re not here, but I swear I still feel your touch

This empty room somehow still feels like us

⸻

Chorus

At the Whiskey Dog where we started it all

Where we fell in love dancing all night long

Every time I try to forget, I don’t get very far

I find myself sitting where you used to sit

At the Whiskey Dog bar

⸻

Tag / Outro

Your ghost still sits next to me

That empty barstool ain’t empty

That shot of Jameson keeps calling me far

I know you’re gone… but here we are

Right back where you left my heart

At the Whiskey Dog bar
