Title:
“Whiskey Lullaby”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am C G D
Down in the valley where the wild winds blow,
Am C G D
I found my solace in a whiskey glow.
Am C G D
My heart was aching, my soul felt so bleak,
Am C G D
I found my rhythm in a whiskey beat.
(Chorus)
F C G D
Oh, sweet whiskey lullaby,
F C G D
Sing me to sleep under the Texan sky.
F C G D
Kiss my pain goodbye, with your fiery high,
F C G D
Oh, sweet whiskey lullaby.
(Verse 2)
Am C G D
Underneath the stars, a lonely man’s plight,
Am C G D
I found my refuge in a whiskey night.
Am C G D
Through the darkness, a beacon so bright,
Am C G D
I found my solace in a whiskey light.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
F C G D
Let the moonshine, let the heart pine,
Am C G D
In the arms of a whiskey rhyme,
F C G D
Soothe my soul, let the good times roll,
Am C G D
In the depths of a whiskey lullaby.
(Repeat Chorus)
