Lyrics
I Hear The Whiskey Calling
V1: I hear the whiskey calling me
A soft whisper on a gentle breeze
Calling my name from across the street
From the bar where I used to have my own special seat
Ch: I hear the whiskey calling me
Back to the days when I was free
She left me cold, now I'm falling
The bottle's talking, I hear the whiskey calling
V2: I walk in and my how the place has changed
But I order up that whiskey just the same
I think of my old friends as I stare at the glass
Now no one remembers my name
Br: Gave up the booze, that woman made me strong
She made me proud to be her man
But she also made me what I am today
And that's a' hurting more than a sober man can stand
Chorus
V3: I hear the whiskey calling me
Like a memory of a long lost love
One little drink might make me feel better fast
One little drink to find my way back to the past
Ch: I hear the whiskey calling me
Back to the days when I was free
She left me cold, now I'm falling
The bottle's talking, I hear the whiskey calling!
