Whiskey in my Veins

I poured your memory in a glass last night

Watched it swirl like dust in the porch light

Took a sip of all we lost, tasted every dream we made

And it burned just like the words we never said

You’re still the whiskey in my veins

You’re still the fire I can’t tame

You’re the smoke on the breeze, the crack in my knees

The love I still can’t outrun

Broken but breathing, you’re my sweetest pain

You’re still the whiskey in my veins

This ranch is empty, but it ain’t alone

Every fence post whispers back your name in the cold

The stars don’t shine like they did before

But I still light a fire, still leave that front door open for ya

You’re still the whiskey in my veins

You’re still the fire I can’t tame

You’re the smoke on the breeze, the crack in my knees

The love I still can’t outrun

Broken but breathing, you’re my sweetest pain

You’re still the whiskey in my veins

Maybe someday you’ll ride back through that gate

Or maybe I’ll just ride this memory ’til it fades

But either way… either way…

You’re still the whiskey in my veins

You’re still the prayer I pray in the rain

You’re the scar I wear, the ghost in my chair

The one ride I won’t ever regret

Broken but breathing, still callin’ your name

You’re still the whiskey…

You’re still the whiskey in my veins
