Smoke in My Whiskey

The last ones just walked out the doorLeft me with the quiet, and a dusty floorThe jukebox finally stopped its songThis is where I've been all alongThe ice has melted in the glassShadows from the past just seem to passAcross the varnish, dark and deepSecrets that this old bar will keep

There's smoke in my whiskey tonightAnd it's burning my eyes, making nothing feel rightThrough the haze, I can almost see your faceIn this dark and lonesome placeYeah, the air is thick and the memories biteJust smoke in my whiskey tonight

A half-empty bottle, a full ashtrayI'm just watching the hours slip awayThinking 'bout a goodbye I can't unsayFrom the other side of yesterdayThe wood grain looks like rivers dryUnderneath this heavy skyOf ceiling tiles and dying lightHolding on with all my might

There's smoke in my whiskey tonightAnd it's burning my eyes, making nothing feel rightThrough the haze, I can almost see your faceIn this dark and lonesome placeYeah, the air is thick and the memories biteJust smoke in my whiskey tonight

It ain't a fight, it ain't a cryIt's just a heavy, silent sighA man and his thoughts, and a slow goodbyeUnderneath that same old skyThis weight I hold, it's made of stoneI'm sitting here, but I'm not aloneThe ghost of us, before it went wrongIs the only one who's sticking 'round this song

Yeah, there's smoke in my whiskey tonightAnd it's burning my eyes, bringing back what I can't outrunThrough the haze, I swear I hear you say my nameIn this dark and lonesome placeYeah, the air is thick and the memories biteJust smoke in my whiskey tonight

Just smokeIn my whiskeyTonight
