Whiskey Lullaby

Lyrics

Amber liquid in a glass 
Memories that just won't pass
Neon signs and smoky bars 
Where broken hearts become the stars
I'm singing my whiskey lullaby 
Trying to make these feelings die

Oh, whiskey lullaby 
Sing me to sleep tonight
Drown out the echoes of your goodbye 
In this bottle I'll find my lullaby
Whiskey lullaby oh, whiskey lullaby
Till the pain fades and I feel alright

Jukebox playing our old song 
Reminds me of where I went wrong
Barstool's my only friend 
As I wait for this night to end
Each sip burns going down 
But it can't burn louder than this town

Oh, whiskey lullaby 
Sing me to sleep tonight
Drown out the echoes of your goodbye 
In this bottle I'll find my lullaby
Whiskey lullaby oh, whiskey lullaby
Till the pain fades and I feel alright

Jukebox playing our old song 
Reminds me of where I went wrong
Barstool's my only friend 
As I wait for this night to end
Each sip burns going down 
But it can't burn louder than this town

Oh, whiskey lullaby 
Sing me to sleep tonight
Drown out the echoes of your goodbye 
In this bottle I'll find my lullaby
Whiskey lullaby oh, whiskey lullaby
Till the pain fades and I feel alright

Last call's ringing in my ears 
Bartender's seen all my tears
He says, "Honey, it's time to go"
But where to, I just don't know
Cause home is where the heart is 
And mine's shattered into pieces

Stumbling down an empty street 
The rhythm of my dragging feet
Creates a beat to my sad song 
Of a love that went all wrong
But as the sun begins to rise 
I realize it's time to say goodbye

To this whiskey lullaby 
No more sleeping away my life
I'll face the echoes of your goodbye 
Put down this bottle, write my own lullaby
No more whiskey lullaby, no more whiskey lullaby
It's time to wake up and make things right

The morning light breaks through 
And I know just what to do
This whiskey lullaby's sung, it's last 
It's time to leave it in the past
A new day, a new start 
Time to mend this broken heart
