Lyrics
Sittin' on this old porch swing, watchin' fireflies dance, Memories of you and me, like echoes from a last chance. Pickup truck's been rustin' out, under that harvest moon, Whiskey bottle's my only friend, chasin' away the gloom.
Oh, whiskey river, take me away, From this heartache that's here to stay. Down these dusty backroads, I'll find my way, Through the pain and the pourin' rain, come what may.
Honky-tonk lights are callin', but they can't light my fire, Small-town whispers 'bout us, fuelin' this funeral pyre. Your laugh still haunts the jukebox, every neon sign, I'm holdin' on to nothin', but these faded jeans of mine.
Oh, whiskey river, take me away, From this heartache that's here to stay. Down these dusty backroads, I'll find my way, Through the pain and the pourin' rain, come what may.
Maybe tomorrow the sun will break through, Wash away the tears I've cried for you. But tonight I'm just a shadow in the storm, Prayin' for redemption, waitin' to be reborn.
Oh, whiskey river, take me away, From this heartache that's here to stay. Down these dusty backroads, I'll find my way, Through the pain and the pourin' rain, come what may.
Whiskey river, carry me home...
