Whiskey On The Bar, Halo In The Doorway

[Verse 1 – Male]
Glass in my hand
Head in the smoke
Laughin’ too loud
At a hurtin’ joke
Same old barstool
Same ol’ song
Pourin’ more poison
Just to feel less wrong
[Verse 1 – Male]
I’m chasin’ that blur
‘Til the words don’t sting
Tell the bartender
“Make it burn, not sting”
Every shot’s just
Another lost prayer
Till you walked in
And knocked out the air
[Chorus – Both]
Whiskey on the bar, halo in the doorway
You turned all my dark into Sunday morning light
Had my heart pulled over on a one‑way
You climbed in and said, “Boy, we’ll be alright”
I was drowning slow, you were walkin’ in
Boots on the floor like a violin
Whiskey on the bar, halo in the doorway
You loved all the hurt right outta my mistakes
[Verse 2 – Female]
You were sittin’ there bent
Like your soul got broke
Eyes real red
From the words you won’t spoke
You laughed when I asked
“Baby, you okay?”
But your hands told the truth
When they started to shake
[Verse 2 – Female]
So I slid on that stool
Pulled your glass aside
Said, “You can chase the past
Or you can chase my ride”
You said, “Girl, I’m a mess”
I said, “That’s my type”
‘Cause I see through the pain
To the man inside
[Chorus]
[Bridge – Rap Duet]
[Male]
Yeah, I was down in that bottle, goin’ full‑throttle
Tryna out‑run every ghost I got
You laid your palm on my fist, said “Feel this”
That little heartbeat hittin’ every spot
[Female]
Told you, “Count your scars on my freckles”
We both got stories that we never tell
You said, “Angel, I ain’t good enough”
I said, “Baby, I ain’t scared of hell” (uh‑huh)
[Male]
Now it’s two cups, one tab, same booth, we laugh
Past still calls but it can’t get through
[Female]
When the night gets heavy and you reach for the glass
[Both]
You just reach for me, I’ll reach back for you (yeah)
[Chorus]
[Outro – Both]
Whiskey on the bar
Left there sittin’
You walked in, girl
And my whole world shifted
My pain packed up
When you said my name
You ain’t saved my life
You just loved my shame

rap, Moody country-rap duet: dusty acoustic guitar, steady kick and deep bass, twangy lead licks. Male verse half-sung half-spoken over sparse groove; female verse opens with airy pads and pedal steel. Choruses explode into big harmony stacks and crowd-clap energy, then drop back to intimate fingerpicked guitar on the bridge. Warm, upfront vocals with a touch of plate reverb, plenty of headroom for ad-libs and call-and-response., beautiful, romantic, country, sad
