Don’t let the whiskey turn to water in your glass,
Keep it smooth, let it burn and make it last.
If this fire’s gonna die, pour the whiskey slow,
Let it burn one last time before you go.
Don’t put my love on the back of the dusty trail,
Let it ride like a wild horse, strong and pale.
If you’re thinkin’ ‘bout settin’ me free,
Just promise you’ll bring that truth to me.
Don’t let the whiskey turn to water in your glass,
Keep it smooth, let it burn and make it last.
If this fire’s gonna die, pour the whiskey slow,
Let it burn one last time before you go.
The bottle’s half-empty, the night’s gettin’ cold,
And I don’t know if this story’s been told.
But if you ride off, Please don’t leave me behind,
At least leave me the bottle and some peace of mind.
Don’t let the whiskey turn to water in your glass,
Keep it smooth, let it burn and make it last.
If this fire’s gonna die, pour the whiskey slow,
Let it burn one last time before you go.
Don’t let the whiskey turn to water in your glass,
Keep it smooth, let it burn and make it last.
If you’re leavin’, take your boots and your pride,
But don’t forget the love we left behind.
We left behind.
