Whiskey River from Saddlebag Songs by Munich Prairie Sons

Sitting by the edge of the river, watching the water flow,
The bottle of whiskey beside me, a friend in these lonely hours,
I think about the times we spent here, laughing and talking,
And wonder how it all went wrong, how we drifted apart.

The stars reflect on the water, twinkling like they used to in your eyes,
And I can’t help but feel the weight of the emptiness beside me,
The space where you used to sit, where your laughter used to echo,
Now filled with the sound of the river and the whispers of the wind.

The whiskey river flows through the night,
Carrying with it the memories of days gone by,
Each sip a reminder of what we had,
And what we lost when the tide turned and took you away.

I take another sip, the burn a welcome distraction,
But it doesn’t chase away the thoughts of you,
The way your smile could light up the darkest days,
And the way your touch could calm the storm inside me.

The river keeps flowing, just like time, unstoppable,
And I know that I can’t stay here forever,
That I’ll have to get up and walk away, leave this place behind,
But for now, I’ll sit and let the river take my thoughts downstream.

The whiskey river flows through the night,
Carrying with it the memories of days gone by,
Each sip a reminder of what we had,
And what we lost when the tide turned and took you away.

As the bottle runs dry and the night grows darker,
I stand and take one last look at the river,
Knowing that while the water will keep flowing,
I’ll be moving on, leaving the whiskey river behind.
