Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ashtray halo Glass sweats on this scarred oak bar Jukebox humming something slow I stay till they forget who we are Sleeves rolled, tie loose Your ghost in that empty chair Bartender knows by the way I move I'm pouring you in the air [Chorus] Whiskey on the rocks Keeps talking like an old friend (oh yeah) Says, "You ain't over her You just got good at pretend" Midnight in my veins Ice cracking like a clock If love's a losing game Deal me whiskey on the rocks [Verse 2] Door swings, rain smell Laughs spill from a stranger's crowd I raise my glass, fake a little toast Drown your name in the sound Lip prints, lipstick Still stained on my mind like wine Every sip burns But it burns a little softer each time [Chorus] Whiskey on the rocks Keeps talking like an old friend Says, "You can chase her shadow Or you can dance with the end" Midnight in my veins Ice cracking like a clock (tick-tock) If love's a losing game Deal me whiskey on the rocks [Bridge] [Band drops to a hush, slow sway] I don't need saving Just one last round of sin Let this slow blue rhythm Tuck my troubles in [Chorus] Whiskey on the rocks Keeps talking like an old friend Says, "Boy, you made your choices Now choose how you descend" Midnight in my veins Ice cracking like a clock If I'm gonna miss you forever Make it whiskey on the rocks

jazz, Smoky late-night blues-jazz combo: brushed snare, walking upright bass, warm hollow‑body guitar, and lazy piano fills. Male vocals sit right up front, dry and intimate. Tempo lopes in a slow swing; verses stay low and conversational, chorus opens with bigger belts and tight horn stabs answering the vocal. Subtle organ pad creeps in by the bridge, then everything pulls back for a close, dimly lit ending., blues
