Whiskey and Gypsy

[Verse]
I had one too many it hit me real slow
Staring at her smile with a fleeting glow
She said her name was Gypsy from Tennessee
And suddenly the world wasn't about me

[Chorus]
That's why I'm drinking whiskey chasing ghosts
Missing the moments that I need the most
Wishing it was you in my passenger seat
But it's bone dry lonely can't feel the beat

[Verse 2]
Her laugh was wild like the wind through pines
But her eyes held secrets like a thousand lifetimes
Every word she said played a reckless tune
A fleeting spirit fading far too soon

[Chorus]
That's why I'm drinking whiskey chasing ghosts
Missing the moments that I need the most
Wishing it was you in my passenger seat
But it's bone dry lonely can't feel the beat

[Bridge]
The bottle whispers a tale of regret
Every sip a memory I can't forget
She vanished faster than the midnight breeze
Left me drunk on heartbreak begging please

[Chorus]
That's why I'm drinking whiskey chasing ghosts
Missing the moments that I need the most
Wishing it was you in my passenger seat
But it's bone dry lonely can't feel the beat
