Whiskey River Ballet

In the shadows of the cotton fields, she weeps at night,With a heart so heavy, holding on to what ain't right,Watching him drown in bottles, chasing ghosts he can’t embrace,Every word he writes under whiskey's false grace.

Her heart's a cage, her freedom's worth his pain.

She broke his heart, to save her own from the fire,

In a world full of chaos, she climbed out of the mire,With whiskey an' the memories swirling in the night,She’d rather be alone than be just a fading light.She stood by the porch, with tears that won’t fall,Mem'ries of laughter now echoes in the hall,

He was lost in his half cought dreams, she felt alone,So she shattered their love, just to save her soul,In the dark, she chose to set her spirit free

She stood by the window, watchin' the rain

Thoughts of his laughter turned into pain.

Every shot on the rocks, he'd pour out his soul

his dreams were a weight, she couldn’t control.

In the shadows of love, they both wore their scars,

she knew the game—it'd lead him to the bar an her to the arms of another

Oh, whiskey river, drownin' in pride,

He wrote every sorrow, derailed every ride

She saved herself while he lost control

In a world of heartbreak,she reclaimed her soul

She whispered goodbye,with tears in her eyes

Took a piece of their love and cut it down to size.

Chasin' his dreams,he was blind to the cost

She'd rather break her own heart then let herself be lost.She burnt down bridges,left him in the dark,A trail of her heart in a world gone stark

Oh, whiskey river, drownin' in pride

here’s to the rebels who break just to heal,

In the dirty South,love’s a dangerous deal.

She broke his heart,to save her own from the fire

In a world full of chaos,she climbed out of the mire,With the whiskey and the memories swirling in the night,She’d rather be alone than be just a fading light.here's to the rebels, who take a stand

In a world gone mad, she’ll reclaim her hand

She watched the sun go down on faded dreams

With every bottle down,he lost the seams

Cigar smoke curled,whiskey rivers ran slow,she couldn't watch him drink his life away anymore

Her heart broke watching him chase darkened skies.A rebel's heart in a whiskey haze,

She chose survival over love's cruel maze

she took the knife,carved her own way out

Left a trail of tears in a lonely drought

Thought love was enough,it was bittersweet

In saving her heart, she admitted defeat

Each night she felt his soul slip away

As he poured his heart out in a whiskey ballet.

His dreams soared high,leaving her behind

In the shadows cast,love was unkind

To save her own heart from a shattered cage,

She played the villain,turned the last page.

she took the knife,carved her own way out

Left a trail of tears in a lonely drought

Thought love was enough,but it was bittersweet

In saving her heart, she admitted defeat.

In the deep South’s haze,she chose her fight

in the dead of night she took the knife carved her own way out,she let go of the rain,left him dancing in a whiskey river ballet
