Verse 1: Sitting on this old porch swing,
Stars are shining, but they don’t mean a thing,
Since you left, my world’s gone gray,
Every night feels like a rainy day.
Chorus: Whiskey tears fall in my glass,
Memories of you, they never pass,
Lonely nights in Carolina,
Wishing you were still mine, darlin’.
Verse 2: Your picture’s still on the mantle,
Heartache’s a flame I can’t handle,
Every song on the radio,
Reminds me of the love we used to know.
Chorus: Whiskey tears fall in my glass,
Memories of you, they never pass,
Lonely nights in Carolina,
Wishing you were still mine, darlin’.
Bridge: I see your face in every crowd,
Hear your voice, it’s calling out loud,
But you’re gone, and I’m here alone,
In this house that ain’t a home.
Verse 3: The old oak tree where we carved our names,
Now stands witness to my pain,
Every whisper of the wind,
Brings back memories of what could’ve been.
Chorus: Whiskey tears fall in my glass,
Memories of you, they never pass,
Lonely nights in Carolina,
Wishing you were still mine, darlin’.
Verse 4: I walk these empty streets at night,
Searching for your ghost in the pale moonlight,
Every shadow, every sound,
Reminds me that you’re not around.
Chorus: Whiskey tears fall in my glass,
Memories of you, they never pass,
Lonely nights in Carolina,
Wishing you were still mine, darlin’.
Outro: So I’ll sit here and drink away,
Hoping for a brighter day,
