Little bit of Whiskey

(Intro)

(A smooth, acoustic guitar rhythm starts, followed by a deep, heavy, and slow reggae bassline)

Yeah, pull up a chair.

Take a breath.

Leave the day at the door.

(Verse 1)

The sun goes down, the boots come off the feet

Washing off the heavy rhythm of the street

I grab a glass, but I ain't looking for a fight

Just trying to find a little balance in the night

Some folks look at the bottle and they only see the pain

But I just use a pour to quiet down the rain.

(Pre-Chorus)

I don’t get loud, I don’t swing no heavy hands

I just sit back and try to understand

They might judge the habit, think I'm losing control

But a couple times a week, it’s just medicine for the soul.

(Chorus)

(Drum beat drops in perfectly with a relaxed, swaying rhythm)

Just a Little bit of Whiskey to loosen up the mind

Leave the heavy burdens of the stressful day behind

Pull up a chair, let’s talk story for a while

Lift the weight off your shoulders, try to find a smile

It ain't about the blur, it's about the clarity I see

Just an honest conversation and a Little bit of Whiskey.

(Verse 2)

If you got a weight pressing down on your chest

Take a seat at my table, put your worries to rest

I’m pouring up a glass, neat or on the ice

I ain't here to judge, ain't here to force advice

I’m just here to listen, let the emotions pour out

Because connection is what the evening's all about.

I get a little intense, but the heart is always right

I just want to make sure everybody's good tonight.

(Bridge)

(Music strips back to just the acoustic guitar and a soft bass groove)

It ain't an escape, it's a way to decompress

Three nights a week to wash away the stress

I don’t need a whole lot, I know where to draw the line

I just sip it slow and give the spirit time.

No anger in the room, no shadows on the wall

Just lifting up my brothers whenever they fall.

(Chorus)

(Full band comes back in, soulful and smooth)

With a Little bit of Whiskey to loosen up the mind

Leave the heavy burdens of the stressful day behind

Pull up a chair, let’s talk story for a while

Lift the weight off your shoulders, try to find a smile

It ain't about the blur, it's about the clarity I see

Just an honest conversation and a Little bit of Whiskey.

(Outro)

(Acoustic guitar strums slowly, bassline fades softly)

Yeah, talk story with me.

Let the heavy things go.

Just a Little bit of Whiskey.

Smooth and slow.

(Music fades out out with the clink of a glass)
