Whiskey on the Rocks

Verse 1

Nine to five was a slow drain

Clock hands moving through the rain

Promises made in the interview room

Faded like a June perfume

Boss man smiles then he takes the credit

Rent comes due and the fridge is naked

Pre-Chorus

And I come home exhausted

Nothing left inside my chest

Chorus

So I pour a little whiskey on the rocks

Slow it down and watch the ceiling talk

It ain't a cure but it holds the line

A little comfort buys me time

Whiskey on the rocks

Keeps the world at bay tonight

Hook

On the rocks

On the rocks tonight

Verse 2

Love went sideways back in April

Didn't even get a proper final

Left my pictures in a cardboard shoe

Took the cat and the good shampoo

Now the bed takes up too much space

And I starve for a familiar face

Pre-Chorus

And I come home lonely

Nobody to call my own

Chorus

So I pour a little whiskey on the rocks

Stare down shadows in the linen box

It ain't a fix but it eases the ache

A little comfort for goodness sake

Whiskey on the rocks

Keeps the tears out of my drink

Hook

On the rocks

On the rocks tonight

Bridge

Troubles come in threes they say

Money love and lost today

But the glass is always waiting

Steady when the floor is shaking

Pre-Chorus

And I come home broken

But I'm still the one who's chosen

Chorus

So I pour a little whiskey on the rocks

Raise it high to every knock

It ain't a savior but it knows my name

A little comfort eases the shame

Whiskey on the rocks

Keeps the ghosts from my front door

Whiskey on the rocks

Can't have it all no more

Outro

On the rocks

Mm

On the rocks

Yeah
