[Verse 1]
I left my heart on a porch in Tennessee,
With a note and a rose where our love used to breathe,
The screen door sighed as I slipped away,
Chasin’ echoes down a lonesome highway.[Pre-Chorus]
Through the miles and the dust,
I’ve worn this soul to a rusted husk,
Yet your memory blooms where the heartache thrives,
A field of sorrow in a drifter’s eyes.[Chorus]
Whiskey and wildflowers, all I’ve got to hold,
A bottle for the hurt, a bloom for the soul,
Through the storms and scars, I hear your refrain,
Whiskey and wildflowers, my loss and my gain,
Oh, whiskey and wildflowers, they bear me along,
A country heart’s hymn when the good is gone.[Verse 2]
I’ve roamed these hills with a six-string and a sigh,
Swapped tears for the glow of a midnight sky,
Every honky-tonk preacher knows my tune,
Singin’ out my story ‘neath a weathered moon.[Pre-Chorus]
Through the nights and the rain,
I’ve stitched this life with a threadbare strain,
Still, your whisper rides the wind that sighs,
A tender hope where the river cries.[Chorus]
Whiskey and wildflowers, all I’ve got to hold,
A bottle for the hurt, a bloom for the soul,
Through the storms and scars, I hear your refrain,
Whiskey and wildflowers, my loss and my gain,
Oh, whiskey and wildflowers, they bear me along,
A country heart’s hymn when the good is gone.[Bridge]
Oh, the fiddle weeps, and the steel guitar bends,
For every faded dream where the backroad ends,
But in the stillness, I claim my grace,
With whiskey’s sting and a flower’s embrace.[Chorus]
Whiskey and wildflowers, all I’ve got to hold,
A bottle for the hurt, a bloom for the soul,
Through the storms and scars, I hear your refrain,
Whiskey and wildflowers, my loss and my gain,
Oh, whiskey and wildflowers, they bear me along,
A country heart’s hymn when the good is gone.[Outro]
Whiskey and wildflowers, from dusk to dawn’s gleam,
A lonesome duet in a restless dream,
In every sip, in every petal’s play,
Whiskey and wildflowers, forever I’ll sway
