Whiskey Straight Lyrics by Rocky Votolato

The Brag and Cuss

0

The moonlight is shining down
Through the factories on the shipyard waters
And in a winter midnight
Sideways move sets on the memory of what's gone missing

The sidewalk stares up silent
And just a shadow slowly disappearing
A ghost of something real that used to exist
A memory of what's gone missing

Why do you keep running?
The pace is hurried but you're never closer
To what it was you thought you wanted
It all keeps changing
And now something else is missing
Who knows where it went?

I knew our time was running out
So by the kitchen window back at your house
I ended up wasted on whiskey straight
Filled the ashtray up with your secrets

You were an anchor with high cheekbones
I was a soldier with broken fingers
You ended up wasted on cheap champagne
Celebrating everything that's missing

Why do you keep running?
The pace is hurried but you're never closer
To what it was you thought you wanted
It all keeps changing
And now something else is missing

Familiar madness, it all keeps changing
And now something else is missing
