The thunder rolls, the sky turns gray
Raindrops tap like ghosts on the windowpane
A bottle of Jack and an old guitar
Sittin' here wonderin' how we fell so far
Your shadow dances on these cabin walls
Your laughter lingers, then it fades and falls
The rain's got rhythm, but it don't ease the pain
So I pour another glass of whiskey in the rain
Whiskey in the rain, drowning your goodbye
Every sip reminds me of the tears I've yet to cry
The storm outside can't match the one in my veins
So I'm here with my memories, and whiskey in the rain
I see your face in the candlelight
Flickering soft, but it won't stay bright
This bottle's a river, it won't let me float
Every drink feels like a sinking boat
The rain keeps falling, but it won't wash you away
Your name's the only prayer I've learned to say
With every clap of thunder, I curse your name
And chase it down with whiskey in the rain
Whiskey in the rain, drowning your goodbye
Every sip reminds me of the tears I've yet to cry
The storm outside can't match the one in my veins
So I'm here with my memories, and whiskey in the rain
They say time heals, but the clock moves slow
And the heart don't forget what it used to know
I'm fightin' a battle I'll never win
Pourin' whiskey on wounds that won't mend
Whiskey in the rain, drowning your goodbye
Every sip reminds me of the tears I've yet to cry
The storm outside can't match the one in my veins
So I'm here with my memories, and whiskey in the rain
The bottle's empty, but you're still here
In every drop, in every tear
The rain's still fallin', but it can't soothe the pain
Guess I'll always be lost... in whiskey in the rain
