[Verse 1]
The jukebox hums a tune I’ve heard before,
My boots scuff the sawdust-covered floor.
A glass in my hand, the amber runs deep,
But it ain’t enough to put your ghost to sleep.
[Chorus]
I’m chasing whiskey shadows, trying to outrun you,
Pouring memories down like a bitter brew.
Every shot’s a promise, every sip’s a lie,
But I’ll keep drinking till your name runs dry.
[Verse 2]
The bartender nods, he’s seen it all,
Another heartache drowning, another close call.
The neon buzz cuts the silence thin,
But it can’t drown the echo of where you’ve been.
[Prechorus]
Your laughter lingers, your perfume stays,
No bottle’s deep enough to wash away those days.
[Chorus]
I’m chasing whiskey shadows, trying to outrun you,
Pouring memories down like a bitter brew.
Every shot’s a promise, every sip’s a lie,
But I’ll keep drinking till your name runs dry.
[Bridge]
Each glass I raise feels heavier tonight,
It’s a losing game, but I still fight.
I toast to forgetting, but the pain won’t leave,
Your face in the bottom of my glass won’t deceive.
