[Verse] Evenin’ shadows crawl across the wooden planks, River hums a low song, like a weary man’s thanks. Cold wind whispers secrets only whiskey understands, I’m clutchin’ this bottle, warmin’ these tired hands. [Pre-Chorus] Every sip’s a memory, a flame against the night, In this smoky silence, I’m reachin’ for the light. [Chorus] Oh, bourbon river, take me where the heart is true, Carry all my troubles, let the night wash through. Hold me in your fire, till the dawn breaks through the blue, Bourbon river, I’m still burnin’ just for you. [Verse] Steel rails hum beneath me, echoes of the past, Lost dreams like fallen leaves, driftin’ slow and fast. That amber glow’s a lighthouse when the darkness feels so rough, A bottle and a prayer, man, it’s just enough. [Pre-Chorus] Every drip’s a story, spillin’ soft and low, In the river’s whisper, I let my sorrow go. [Chorus] Oh, bourbon river, take me where the heart is true, Carry all my troubles, let the night wash through. Hold me in your fire, till the dawn breaks through the blue, Bourbon river, I’m still burnin’ just for you. [Bridge] Maybe one day I’ll sail away, find a brighter shore, But tonight the bottle’s keepin’ me wanting more. So pour me one last time, under the smoky skies, Where the river runs deep, and the lonely lies. [Chorus] Oh, bourbon river, take me where the heart is true, Carry all my troubles, let the night wash through. Hold me in your fire, till the dawn breaks through the blue, Bourbon river, I’m still burnin’ just for you. [Outro] Still burnin’ just for you, Bourbon river, carry me through.
