[Verse 1]
Back when the whiskey was warm,
And the nights felt twice as long,
We’d sit by the fire till dawn,
Chasing stories, chasing songs.
The bottle passed hand to hand,
Like it held the weight of the land.
[Chorus]
Back when the whiskey was warm,
And the world didn’t feel so worn.
We’d laugh like fools, we’d raise a storm,
Back when the whiskey was warm.
[Verse 2]
A jukebox hummed in a dusty bar,
Old Merle’s voice, a guiding star.
The neon buzzed like a steady friend,
We never thought those nights would end.
Smoke curled slow, shadows would dance,
Each sip a moment, a second chance.
[Chorus]
Back when the whiskey was warm,
And the world didn’t feel so worn.
We’d laugh like fools, we’d raise a storm,
Back when the whiskey was warm.
[Bridge]
Now the glass feels cold, the room’s too still,
The fire’s out, the nights won’t heal.
I pour another, but it don’t taste right,
It’s the past I’m chasing every night.
[Chorus]
Back when the whiskey was warm,
And the world didn’t feel so worn.
We’d laugh like fools, we’d raise a storm,
Back when the whiskey was warm.
