LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
The neon sign outside is buzzing like a fly.
Painting the room in a cheap, red lie.
Motel room six, on the edge of the town.
Where the shadows are long and the curtains are down.
I pour another glass of the amber burn.
The only teacher from whom I ever learn.

[Chorus]
Midnight whiskey, take the pain away.
Wash out the dust of another dirty day.
I drink to the angels who lost their wings.
I drink to the silence that the darkness brings.
One shot for courage, two shots for the ghost.
Three shots for the one I miss the most.

[Verse 2]
I close my eyes and I see her face.
Back before she ran this rat race.
She was singing on a porch in the summer heat.
Barefoot dancing on the wooden sheet.
She didn't need diamonds, she didn't need Gold.
But dreams get expensive when you get old.

[Bridge]
I should have stopped her.
I should have said "Stay".
But I was a fool, and I looked away.
Now she's a queen in a castle of ice.
And I'm just a gambler rolling the dice.

[Chorus]
Midnight whiskey, take the pain away.
Wash out the dust of another dirty day.
I drink to the angels who lost their wings.
I drink to the silence that the darkness brings.
One shot for courage, two shots for the ghost.
Three shots for the one I miss the most.

[Outro]
Here's looking at you, kid.
Wherever you are.
Bottoms up.
