I feel older than my whiskey
more bitterness in my taste
sweet dreams evaporated
whole life's gone to waste.
I feel older than my whiskey
I've seen more brothers fall
but I'm stronger to bear
all the demons of alcohol.
I feel older than my whiskey
on this lonely night
waiting to be opened
to share a fierce bite.
Behind the smoked glass door
there's life I've longed to live
a warm and smooth embrace to give.
I feel older than my whiskey
I'm burning more in your throat
the world that's superficial
needs my antidote.
I feel older than my whiskey
I feel I'm more mature
I have aged in a barrel
but skepticism's my cure.
[Chorus]
Time to turn the cap
to take peaceful sips
together to savor
sweet moistness on the lips.
Empty the bottle
get younger for a while
end this graveyard blues
with your grumpy smile.
[Chorus]
