Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I should’ve known when the door swung wide,
And you was gone without a glance.
And I heard you curse as your truck roared up
That was my last chance.
(Verse 2)
The neon bar sign flickered out,
Just like the love we had.
Now I’m sittin’ here with a bottle of doubt,
Wonderin’ if you’re comin’ back.
(Chorus)
Oh, whiskey and warning signs,
Guess I should’ve read between the lines.
Every shot burns like your last goodbye,
Now I'm drowning in a moonshine tide.
(Verse 3)
Your red tail lights were a stop sign,
But I just let you go.
Now I’m countin’ regrets in a barstool haze,
With a jukebox playin’ slow.
(Bridge)
Maybe someday, I’ll learn my lesson,
Maybe someday, I’ll change.
But tonight, it’s just me and a long-neck bottle,
Tryin’ to drink away what remains.
(Chorus - Repeat)
Oh, whiskey and warning signs,
Guess I should’ve read between the lines.
Every shot burns like your last goodbye,
Now I'm drowning in a moonshine tide.
(Outro)
Yeah, the bottle’s empty, so’s my heart,
But I knew it from the start…
Whiskey and warning signs,
Both tell the truth when the night gets dark
