Whiskey by the Fire

Another week down, it's been a long, hard ride Trading numbers for sunsets and overtime pride Got my boots kicked off, my worries set aside And there's a fire glowin' warm on this December night Whiskey by the fire, watchin' embers glow A sip of somethin' stronger to let it all go From boardroom talk to that cracklin' light I'm finding peace in a winter night The world can wait, while the flames flicker low Emails and deadlines, they don't follow me home With this old guitar and a drink in hand I'm miles away from the corporate land Whiskey by the fire, watchin' embers glow A sip of somethin' stronger to let it all go From boardroom talk to that cracklin' light I'm finding peace in a winter night There's magic here, in the silence and snow With every drink, I let a little more go I don't need much, just this glass and a song And the warmth of the fire to keep me strong Christmas lights in the window, flicker and shine Remindin' me of the love I left behind So I raise a glass to what matters most To family, and friends, and comin' home Whiskey by the fire, watchin' embers glow A sip of somethin' stronger to let it all go From boardroom talk to that cracklin' light I'm finding peace in a winter night So here's to the quiet, here's to the still To the peace I find on this old windowsill A simple night, with no big desire Just me and my whiskey by the fire
