Verse 1:
I’ve been counting the days since you walked away,
That old screen door slamming still haunts me today.
Your boots left dust trails, now they’ve blown away,
But the memory of you is here to stay.
Chorus:
Whiskey tears roll down, like rain on my soul,
Every shot I take can’t make me whole.
I hit the lonesome roads, trying’ to forget your name,
But this broken heart keeps burning’ like a flame.
Verse 2:
The truck’s still parked in that same driveway,
Your favorite song keeps on playing’ all day.
I try to move on, but it’s harder to do,
Cause every damn place still smells like you.
Chorus:
Whiskey tears roll down, like rain on my soul,
Every shot I take can’t make me whole.
I hit the lonesome roads, trying’ to forget your name,
But this broken heart keeps burning’ like a flame.
Bridge:
I should have seen the signs, but I was too blind,
Now I’m chasing' shadows, losing' my mind.
The only thing left is an empty goodbye,
And a love that’s faded like the stars in the sky.
Chorus (repeat):
Whiskey tears roll down, like rain on my soul,
Every shot I take can’t make me whole.
I hit the lonesome roads, trying’ to forget your name,
But this broken heart keeps burning’ like a flame.
Outro:
Yeah, this broken heart just burns,
Like a flame that never learns.
