The bottle whispers
Boy
But it lies through its teeth
It won't quench your thirst
It just steals your belief
It'll choke you out
Like a thief in the night it'll break hearts
Leave you gasping for air in a bed y'all once shared reaching out for her in the cold morning light but boy she ain't there yeah whiskey will break your heart too
I've run from the truth
From faith
From the fight
running from home never makes it alright
Whiskey won't save you
It'll bury you deep
Running from faith
Boy it Ain't the road to keep Take a look at my life
These scars
This plea I chased the shadows
Thought they'd lead me to gold
But shadows grow darker
And they leave you cold
I tried to drown the pain
it swam right back With every glass drained
I lost what I lacked
Boy
The fire in your eyes
Don't let it burn dim
Don't follow my footsteps
They're worn and grim
Boy the whiskey won't drown your thirst
It'll choke you slow it'll do its worst
it only burns boy it don't heal
It steals your heart and makes it steel
It leaves you running from faith it won't lead you home leaves you lost leaves you alone
Chasing shadows in the dark
Chained but thinking you're free
I thought I was tough thought I was bold
But a bitter man is just a fool grown old
I built my pride like a house of sand just to watch it sink in quick sand of sin
Watched it crumble with empty hands
The roads I walked were paved in lies
The truth too far to recognize
Whiskey won't save you
It'll bury you deep
The bottle whispers, but it lies through its teeth
Telling stories that won't set you free
it won't quench your thirst, just steal your belief It'll choke you out, like a thief at night
Leave you gasping for air in a bed y'all once shared reaching out for her in the cold morning light but boy she ain't there
I've run from the truth, from faith, from the fight
running from home don't make it alright
Whiskey won't save you, it'll bury you deep
that road's too steep
Boy Take a look at my life, lessons from the fallen
In the shadows where hope is stolen
Whiskey can't drown the pain, choose your own way boy
Don’t let whiskey lead you astray
It Ain't the road to keep
Take a look at my life
These scars
This plea
Don't turn out like me
Don't turn out like me boy Whiskey Won't Save You
