Pawlo-X - Whiskey Saved My Life Lyrics

I was down on luck, nowhere to turn
Heart full of pain, just watchin' it burn
Lost my way, couldn't see the light
Livin' in shadows, feelin' the fight
Then I found myself in a worn-out bar
Dust on the bottles, an old guitar
Bartender smiled and poured me a glass
Said, "Son, this here'll help you outlast"
With that amber glow, it hit just right
Turned the darkest day into a peaceful night
I wasn't lookin' for a savior, no, not at all
But in that glass, I felt the fall
Whiskey saved my life, don't you know?
Pulled me back when I was sinkin' low
A little burn, yeah, but it felt like home
In a world where I felt so alone
It wasn't the answer, but it sure helped me see
Sometimes you just need a moment to breathe
Whiskey saved my life that night
Poured out my pain, made it right
I sat there thinkin', takin' it slow
Reminded me of days I used to know
Back when my old man would sit and sip
Talk 'bout life's lessons with every drip
He'd say, "Son, this ain't for drownin' the blues
But when life gets hard, it'll see you through"
And I swear that voice echoed in my mind
As I raised that glass, and felt the grind
With every sip, I found my feet
It wasn't the drink, but the peace it brought me
A moment to stop, to clear my head
Whiskey whispered, "You ain't done yet"
Whiskey saved my life, don't you know?
Pulled me back when I was sinkin' low
A little burn, yeah, but it felt like home
In a world where I felt so alone
It wasn't the answer, but it sure helped me see
Sometimes you just need a moment to breathe
Whiskey saved my life that night
Poured out my pain, made it right
Now I ain't sayin' it's a cure for pain
But it helped me stand through the pouring rain
Sometimes the world just gets too loud
And you need somethin' to quiet the crowd
Whiskey saved my life, don't you know?
Pulled me back when I was sinkin' low
A little burn, yeah, but it felt like home
In a world where I felt so alone
It wasn't the answer, but it sure helped me see
Sometimes you just need a moment to breathe
Whiskey saved my life that night
Poured out my pain, made it right
Now I raise a glass, not to forget
But to remember what I ain't lost yet
Whiskey saved my life, yeah it's true
But it was me who finally pushed through.
