Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 There’s a longneck sweating in my hand Like it knows I don’t understand How a love that burned that bright Faded out on a Tuesday night Your laugh’s still hanging in the air Like smoke that won’t go anywhere Bartender says, “Son, what’ll it be?” I say, “Something strong enough for me.” Pre-Chorus Make it clear, make it strong Make it last all night long Chorus Pour me a memory, heavy on the past Let it hit me hard and burn goin’ down fast I’ll raise it up to what we used to be Yeah, drown every “forever” you promised me If I can’t have her, I’ll have Tennessee whiskey Turn that hurt into history Fill it up till I can’t see And pour me a memory Verse 2 There’s a two-step spinning by the band Couple holding tight hand in hand Used to be us on this old floor Now she’s walking through another door Neon lights and a steel guitar Playing truth like a battle scar If heartbreak had a melody It’d sound like this next song to me Pre-Chorus Make it smooth, make it strong Keep ‘em coming all night long Chorus Pour me a memory, heavy on the past Let it hit me hard and burn goin’ down fast I’ll raise it up to what we used to be Yeah, drown every “forever” you promised me If I can’t have her, I’ll have Tennessee whiskey Turn that hurt into history Fill it up till I can’t see And pour me a memory Bridge (big 90s lift moment) Tomorrow I’ll swear I’m finally done Tonight I’m chasing what we were One more round, one more song One more shot at missing her Final Chorus (bigger, harmony stacked) Pour me a memory, make it double this time Let the jukebox play her goodbye I’ll toast to the fool I used to be And the man she swore she’d never leave If love’s on the rocks, then so am I Let that steel guitar cry Till her ghost don’t follow me Yeah, pour me a memory Tag (band drops, vocal + steel) Bartender, can’t you see… She ain’t here — so pour me a memory
