[Verse]
The river runs deep it don’t look back
A whiskey bottle and a midnight track
No moon to guide no stars to show
Where I’m heading only the devil knows
[Chorus]
Oh whiskey river carry me down
Wash my sorrows till I drown
Whiskey river take me through
I’m chasing shadows and losing you
[Verse 2]
The wind it howls like a lonesome ghost
I hear it laughing but I feel the most
Every step’s heavy every mile’s cold
Heart’s a furnace burning coal to gold
[Prechorus]
Take me under take me slow
Let the current pull my soul
[Chorus]
Oh whiskey river carry me down
Wash my sorrows till I drown
Whiskey river take me through
I’m chasing shadows and losing you
[Bridge]
A cracked old mirror and a crooked grin
Reflections of places I’ve never been
The blues don’t lie they just hold tight
Singing me home through the dead of night
