Pour Me a Double

Intro

(Yeah...)

Sittin' here with this old guitar,

Thunder rollin' in from afar...

Verse

Well, I woke up this mornin' to an empty side of the bed,

Coffee's cold, and the dog's lookin' at me like he's half-dead.

Her lipstick still on that coffee mug by the sink,

Pushed me out the door, said she needed time to think.

Tail lights fadin' down that gravel drive,

Dust kickin' up like it don't wanna say goodbye.

Now I'm haulin' freight down I-40, radio low,

Chasin' memories that won't let go.

Chorus

Pour me a double, make it bourbon and truth,

This heartache's burnin' like a fifty-year roof.

Yeah, I'm a ramblin' man with a busted-up heart,

But I'll keep on truckin' till the miles tear me apart.

Whiskey on my breath, tears in my eyes,

Singin' to the dashboard under these midnight skies.

Pour me a double, bartender, don't hold back,

'Cause lovin' and losin' puts you right back on track.

Verse

Daddy always said, "Son, life's a dirt road bend,"

You hit the potholes, but you don't break, you mend.

Mama's Bible on the dash, worn pages from the fight,

Prayin' for forgiveness in the pale mornin' light.

Passed that old honky-tonk where we danced our first slow song,

Jukebox still playin', but damn, it feels so wrong.

Her laugh in the wind, callin' out my name,

But I'm pushin' the pedal, playin' this loser's game.

Chorus

Pour me a double, make it bourbon and truth,

This heartache's burnin' like a fifty-year roof.

Yeah, I'm a ramblin' man with a busted-up heart,

But I'll keep on truckin' till the miles tear me apart.

Whiskey on my breath, tears in my eyes,

Singin' to the dashboard under these midnight skies.

Pour me a double, bartender, don't hold back,

'Cause lovin' and losin' puts you right back on track.

Bridge

One day this road'll lead me home somehow,

To arms that won't let go, a love that sticks around.

Till then, I'll raise this glass to the man in the glass,

Deep voice crackin', but I'll make it last... (yeah).

Chorus

Pour me a double, make it bourbon and truth,

This heartache's burnin' like a fifty-year roof.

Yeah, I'm a ramblin' man with a busted-up heart,

But I'll keep on truckin' till the miles tear me apart.

Whiskey on my breath, tears in my eyes,

Singin' to the dashboard under these midnight skies.

Pour me a double, bartender, don't hold back,

'Cause lovin' and losin' puts you right back... on track.

Outro

(Yeah... on track...)

Fade out with the rain...
