Whiskey River Ballet

In the shadows of the cotton fields,she weeps at night,
With a heart so heavy,holding on to what ain't right,
Watching him drown in bottles,chasing ghosts he can’t embrace,
Every word he writes under whiskey's false grace.

Her heart's a cage,her freedom's worth his  pain.

She broke his heart,to save her own from the fire
In a world full of chaos,she climbed out of the mire
With whiskey an the memories swirling in the night
She’d rather be alone than be just a fading light
She stood by the porch with tears that won’t fall
Mem'ries of laughter now echoes in the hall
He was lost in his half cought dreams,she felt  alone
So she shattered their love just to save her soul
In the dark she chose to set her spirit free
She stood by the window,watchin' the rain
Thoughts of his laughter turned into pain watching him try to catch the wind while she held the rain 
Every shot on the rocks,he'd pour out his soul
his dreams were a weight,she couldn’t control
In the shadows of love,they both wore their scars,
she knew the game—it'd lead him to the bars,her into the arms of another
Oh,whiskey river,drownin' in pride,
He wrote every sorrow,derailed every ride
She saved herself while he lost control
In a world of heartbreak,she reclaimed her soul
She whispered goodbye,with tears in her eyes
Took a piece of their love and cut it down to size
Chasin' his dreams,he was blind to the cost
She'd rather break her own heart then let herself be lost
She burnt down bridges,left him in the dark,
A trail of her heart in a world gone stark
Oh,whiskey river,drownin' in pride
 here’s to the rebels who break just to heal
In the dirty South,love’s a dangerous deal
She broke his heart,to save her own  from the fire
In a world full of chaos she climbed out of the mire
With the whiskey and the memories swirling in the night
She rather be alone than be just a fading light
 here's to the rebels who take a stand 
In a world gone mad she reclaimed her hand
She watched the sun go down on faded dreams

With every bottle down he lost the seams

Cigar smoke curled whiskey rivers ran slow,she couldn't watch him write his life away anymore 

Her heart broke watching him chase darkened skies

A rebel's heart in a whiskey haze

She chose survival over love's cruel maze

 she took the knife carved her own way out

Left a trail of tears in a lonely drought

Thought love was enough it was bittersweet

In saving her heart she admitted defeat


Each night she felt his soul slip away

As he poured his heart out in a whiskey ballet

His dreams soared high leaving her behind

In shadows cast love was unkind

To save her own heart from a shattered cage

She played the villain turned the last page
 she took the knife carved her own way out
Left a trail of tears in a lonely drought Thought love was enough it was bittersweet

In saving her heart she admitted defeat


In the deep South’s haze she chose her fight
 in dead of night she let go of the rain left him  chasing windy dreams in a whiskey ballet
