Whiskey Tears

Every night she walks through the door With a grace that I ain't seen before (no, no, no) I pull up a stool order up a shot Tryin' my best to forget what I ain't got (oh-oh) She pours me a drink, that same old smile But there's pain in those eyes, and it ain't just for a while (no, no, no) I drown my sorrows, she wipes my tears But it's her that I want, it's her I hold dear (oh-oh) I'm drowning in these whiskey tears (whiskey tears) Bitter taste of love, my only fear (my only fear) She broke my heart, left me here to drown (here to drown) But I'll keep coming back 'til she's mine 'til she's found (oh-oh) Lonely nights under these neon lights Thinking 'bout those days and her sweet delights Every glass another chance to dream But it's never real just a fleeting gleam Barroom shadows whisper her name Yet without her around it's never the same Another shot another false hope But I'll keep believing I can cope I'm drowning in these whiskey tears Bitter taste of love my only fear She broke my heart left me here to drown But I'll keep coming back til she's mine til she's found Neon lights painting my sorrow Another swig maybe tomorrow I'll see her face in this smoky haze Lost in love through the nights and days Bar stools tell tales of old-time blues Her silhouette like a dream I can't lose Another drink to the ghosts in my mind Hope one night these paths will finally bind I'm drowning in these whiskey tears Bitter taste of love my only fear She broke my heart left me here to drown But I'll keep coming back til she's mine til she's found Bar stools tell tales of old-time blues Her silhouette like a dream I can't lose Another drink to the ghosts in my mind Hope one night these paths will finally bind I'm drowning in these whiskey tears Bitter taste of love my only fear She broke my heart left me here to drown But I'll keep coming back til she's mine til she's found Lonely nights under these neon lights Thinking 'bout those days and her sweet delights Every glass another chance to dream But it's never real just a fleeting gleam Barroom shadows whisper her name Yet without her around it's never the same Another shot another false hope But I'll keep believing I can cope (oh oh oh)
