Half Whiskey Half Lonely

(album: Memory And A Dirt Road - 2020)

He tries like hell to get over the past
Yeah he knows those broken hearts don't last
But there's something in the air tonight
Yeah that whiskey has a little more bite
That handle helps him say what his heart's been holding back

'Cause there's a fire grown with every Fireball shot
And there's a tear held back with every thought about him and her
Now he can't find a cure
And it's grab another bottle, poor another round
'Til those old memories quit coming around
He can't help but have them, it's just habit
'Cause this ain't the mixture for his remedy
It's half whiskey, half lonely

Well he knows this ain't how to cope with the pain
But that Jack on the rocks helps ease the strain
Of that hurt he feels inside
There ain't nothing that'll help his fight
So that bourbon keeps saying what his heart's been holding back

'Cause there's a fire grown with every Fireball shot
And there's a tear held back with every thought about him and her
Now he can't find a cure
And it's grab another bottle, poor another round
'Til those old memories quit coming around
He can't help but have them, it's just habit
'Cause this ain't the mixture for his remedy
It's half whiskey, half lonely

He can't help the way he feels
There's just too much pain to deal
With [?], the whiskey always tell
Pour more of that broke and truth
That she's gone with someone new
And she ain't turning back, so he knows

There's a fire grown with every Fireball shot
And there's a tear held back with every thought about him and her
Now he can't find a cure
And it's grab another bottle, poor another round
'Til those old memories quit coming around
He can't help but have them, it's just habit
'Cause this ain't the mixture for his remedy
It's half whiskey, half lonely

Half whiskey, half lonely
