Moonlight and Whiskey

Woman, I'm tired of the road

Same routine is getting old

Sleepless nights in motel rooms

Drunken fights in cheap saloons

Got caught up in life's twists and turns

Making it big was my one concern

Some bridges I crossed

Others I burned

It just took so long

For me to learn

Just a little Moonlight and Whiskey

I'm good for a while and then it hits me

Hey, that's my name upon the marquee

Guess what that glowing neon cost me

Just a little Moonlight and Whiskey

I'm good for a while and then it hits me

You're my world and I never told 'ya

Still, I left you with the world upon your shoulders

Woman, I'm hoping you'll be kind

I'm down a dark hole too deep to climb

I know I promised I'd be home by morning light

But the tour bus broke down again tonight

I get caught up with my loft dreams

Pushing ahead by any means

At times I have it all, or so it seems

And then it hits me and it hits me

And I know what I need

Just a little Moonlight and Whiskey

I'm good for a while and then it hits me

Jesus knows what's best for me

And that's just fine

'Cause he's the one that turned

The water into wine

Just a little Moonlight and Whiskey

I'm good for a while and then it hits me

I drop to my knees drunk as a sailor

Begging you please, forgive all my failures
