[Verse 1]I poured a double shot to drown your name,The jukebox hums, but it don’t feel the same.Neon lights flicker, paintin’ my despair,I’m chasin’ shadows, but you ain’t there. [Pre-Chorus]The buzz feels good ‘til the morning calls,Truth creeps in through these barroom walls. [Chorus]‘Cause the whiskey wears off, and the heartache stays,The high fades out, but the hurt replays.I can drink ‘til dawn, but it’s all a lost cause,Love don’t leave when the whiskey wears off. [Verse 2]The bartender knows every tear I’ve cried,He slides me a glass, says, “Sonny , take your time.”I tip it back, let the burn sink deep,But closin’ my eyes don’t mean I’ll sleep. [Pre-Chorus]The buzz feels good ‘til the morning calls,Truth creeps in through these barroom walls. John Foy ©️ 2025
