Whiskey Reign
Sun came up this morning
Found me walkin' the line
Without you here baby
It's all a waste of time
When I was young
Momma told me
I'd find love
She said cherish it
It's your sunshine from up above
But listen... to what I say
There's no sunny day
When your baby
Has gone away
Sittin' by these tracks
Waiting for you to come back
When you see world
Through the bottom of a jar
You know you've taken life too far
With no one to blame, it's all the same
When you're trapped in a whiskey reign
I'm tryin' to change
Life without you is harder each and every day
I'll set here in the darkness
Until the moonshine takes it all away
I know your love was always true
You just couldn't shelter me from the reign
Just twelve more steps for all I need to gain
Sometimes it feels I can't go on... but
The whiskey will get me through
Sittin' by these tracks
Waiting for you to come back
When you see world
Through the bottom of a jar
You know you've taken life too far
With no one to blame, it's all the same
When you're trapped in a whiskey reign
Found me walkin' the line
Without you here baby
It's all a waste of time
When I was young
Momma told me
I'd find love
She said cherish it
It's your sunshine from up above
But listen... to what I say
There's no sunny day
When your baby
Has gone away
Sittin' by these tracks
Waiting for you to come back
When you see world
Through the bottom of a jar
You know you've taken life too far
With no one to blame, it's all the same
When you're trapped in a whiskey reign
I'm tryin' to change
Life without you is harder each and every day
I'll set here in the darkness
Until the moonshine takes it all away
I know your love was always true
You just couldn't shelter me from the reign
Just twelve more steps for all I need to gain
Sometimes it feels I can't go on... but
The whiskey will get me through
Sittin' by these tracks
Waiting for you to come back
When you see world
Through the bottom of a jar
You know you've taken life too far
With no one to blame, it's all the same
When you're trapped in a whiskey reign
