Last Shot Whisky Mountain Lament

[Intro] [Verse 1] The whisky bottle’s near empty, the fire’s burnin’ low, my old pups breathin’ steady as the wind starts to blow. Ice in the glass, but my heart’s feelin’ thin, She’s up on that peak where the cold sets in. [Chorus] Last shot whispers, “she's a comin’ back,” Moonlight paints her shadow on a high ridge track. I’m tethered to the embers, my dog’s loyal stare, While she’s dancin’ with the stars in that thin mountain air. [Verse 2] The pines hum a hymn I can’t quite recall, Memories like smoke rise and fade with the squall. Her laugh’s in the echoes, her name’s in the breeze, But tonight, it’s just me and last shot of whiskey. [Chorus] Last shot whispers, “She's a comin’ back,” Moonlight paints her shadow on a high ridge track. I’m tethered to the embers, my dog’s loyal stare, While she’s dancin’ with the stars in that thin mountain air. [Bridge] The fire’s a confessor, the whisky’s a prayer, Distance don’t measure love, just how much I can bear. Rust on the hinges of this old cabin door, But her spirit’s a wildfire, and mine’s just a snore. [Chorus] Last shot whispers, “She's a comin’ back,” Moonlight paints her shadow on a high ridge track. I’m tethered to the embers, my dog’s loyal stare, While she’s dancin’ with the stars in that thin mountain air. [Outro]
