Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[F]Woke up this morning with a [C]whiskey sunrise,
[G]Feeling the sting of the [Am]moonshine in my eyes,
[F]Life ain’t a race, it’s a [C]slow, steady climb,
[G]And I’m just trying to [Am]make it to the finish line.

(Chorus)
[F]Whiskey sunrise, [C]paint my sky,
[G]Give me hope when the [Am]world seems dry,
[F]Through the highs and the [C]lows, through the joy and strife,
[G]You are the [Am]soundtrack to my life.

(Verse 2)
[F]Under the willow where we [C]used to sit,
[G]Memories linger like [Am]smoke from a lit cigarette,
[F]The world keeps spinning, but [C]we’re standing still,
[G]Caught in the moment, we’re [Am]chasing the thrill.

(Repeat Chorus)
