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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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…
[Final Chorus]
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
