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
