Lyrics: Pulled off the highway near a neon motel sign Where the gravel meets the silence and the stars begin to shine Got a picture on the dashboard, cracked right through his face Still I whisper out his name like he’s just runnin’ late The radio is hummin’ low, a steel guitar in tune Every mile I ever missed him echoes in the room I pour a little bourbon in a plastic coffee cup Raise it to the rearview — yeah, I still ain't givin’ up This whiskey road lullaby rocks me slow and deep With a voice that sounds like gravel and dreams that never sleep The headlights hum a harmony, the night don’t ask me why I’m drivin’ on fumes and memories, singin’ a whiskey road lullaby There’s a letter in the glovebox I wrote but never sent Words I couldn’t say to him now soaked in my regret Sometimes I see his shadow walkin’ past the pumps He’d laugh and say, “You always cry at midnight fill-ups” This whiskey road lullaby rocks me slow and deep With a voice that sounds like gravel and dreams that never sleep The headlights hum a harmony, the night don’t ask me why I’m drivin’ on fumes and memories, singin’ a whiskey road lullaby Some songs ain’t made for radio, just for broken hearts in drive For the backroads we don’t tell about and the things we keep alive This whiskey road lullaby knows just when to cry It don’t fix what’s gone, but it rides here by my side Tail lights in the distance fade like lullabies Still singin’ to the ghosts behind... this whiskey road lullaby
