Whiskey Knows the Truth

I don’t talk like I used to, Don’t laugh the same way Got a mouth full of silence… And not much to say

These walls know my secrets, This chair knows my weight And this bottle beside me… Knows every mistake

I tried buryin’ memories, Deep in the night But they rise with the burn… Every time that I light

Whiskey knows the truth… Even when I lie It don’t ask no questions… Just lets it rise

Every ghost I buried… Comes back in proof I might fool the world… But whiskey knows the truth

I see you in shadows, In smoke, in the rain In the glass when it’s empty… In the sound of your name

We were built like iron, Or that’s what I thought But iron still bends… When it’s left to rot

Ain’t no use in runnin’, From what I became ‘Cause a man don’t outrun… His own damn name

Whiskey knows the truth… Cuts deeper than time Every sip pulls a memory… Back into line

Ain’t no judge or savior, No higher roof Just a bottle and a broken man… And whiskey knows the truth

I tried bein’ better… Tried walkin’ straight But the road kept twistin’… And I showed up late

Maybe I deserve it… Every ounce of pain ‘Cause I ain’t innocent… Just less to blame

…damn.

Whiskey knows the truth… Ain’t no way around It don’t shout or preach… Just drags it out

Every lie I told… Every thing I knew Sits right here beside me… Yeah…

Whiskey knows the truth

…always did.
