Whiskey river lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the day goes down and the moonlight
Breaks
Pray the good lord gon' carry me away
Where the memories drown and the heartache
Fades
Down that whiskey river

Been a little too long since I saw your
Face
Woman and I reckon that ain't never gonna
Change
Never been let down not in one damn way
By that whiskey river

[Chorus]
Whiskey River, letting me forget her
And help me remember thеm good old days
'Cause I'm on a bender, it's firе on my
Liver
My hands on the liquor but I won't too
Change
Whiskey River
Whiskey River

[Verse 2]
Well silence is the sound when a grown man
Prays
When his woman's headed out like a southbound
Train
Gotta make it into town 'fore the daylight
Fades
Floating down that whiskey river
And every word from her mouth that she ever
Did say
Was a lie from the ground where the devil
Lay
She took my heart and I doubt there's a
Woman who can't
So imma drown in the whiskey river

[Chorus]
Whiskey River, letting me forget her
And help me remember them good old days
'Cause I'm on a bender, it's fire on my
Liver
My hands on the liquor but I won't too
Change
Whiskey River
Whiskey River
Well
I float on down this river
But
I still just can't forget
All them nights I spent right with her
With no whiskey on my breath

Whiskey River, letting me forget her
And help me remember them good old days
'Cause I'm on a bender, it's fire on my
Liver
My hands on the liquor but I won't too
Change
Whiskey River
Whiskey River
[Outro]
When the day goes down and the moonlight
Breaks
Pray the good lord gon' carry me away
Where the memories drown and the heartache
Fades
Down that whiskey river
