[Verse 1]
The jukebox hums a sad old tune,
Barstool's cold as the neon moon.
My glass is empty, my mind's a mess,
Lost in the dark, wearing regret.
[Prechorus]
I swore I'd quit, I swore I'd try,
But here I sit beneath the sky—
[Chorus]
Of a whiskey sunrise, burning my soul,
Drowning the night in amber and coal.
Every sip feels like a friend and a fight,
Oh, Lord, it’s hard to say goodbye
To a whiskey sunrise.
[Verse 2]
Her photograph leans on the bar,
A quiet ghost from a love too far.
The barkeep asks, “Another round?”
I nod my head, can’t put it down.
[Prechorus]
I swore I'd heal, I swore I'd pray,
But here I drink the hurt away—
[Chorus]
In a whiskey sunrise, burning my soul,
Drowning the night in amber and coal.
Every sip feels like a friend and a fight,
Oh, Lord, it’s hard to say goodbye
To a whiskey sunrise.
