00:23I heard him on a Monday
00:27Dust still on his boots
00:32Saw the same old fire in him
00:35That once burned in my youth
00:40He clocks out when the daylight fades
00:44Walks the long way into town
00:48And I catch myself just wondering
00:52If he's chasing what I chase down
00:59Some nights he leaves here quiet
01:02With a shadow in his eyes
01:07Like he's holding back a heartbreak
01:10Or a truth he can't deny
01:15And I remember every moment
01:18When the right words never came
01:24When I reached for liquid courage
01:27Just to numb the hollow pain
01:31It's a whiskey sunset sun
01:35And I know that looked too well
01:39I've walked that road you're on now
01:44With truths I couldn't tell
01:47You don't need that shot for Kurt
01:52Just someone by your side
01:56Let the bottle rest a moment
02:00Your sunrise will arise
02:13He told me she was different
02:17Said he couldn't help but fall
02:21Heard my own words in his voice
02:25God I used to say them all
02:29Said he keeps on getting tongue-tied
02:32And she's slipping from his side
02:36And I saw myself in that young man
02:41On a hundred lonely nights
02:47It's a whiskey sunset kid
02:50And I've known that quiet dread
02:56Wondering why the right words
02:59Never reach your heart or head
03:03You don't have to face it solo
03:07Not like I did back in time
03:12There's more to love than courage shots
03:16Your sunrise still can shine
03:24I said son I used to chase the dawn
03:28With a bottle by my side
03:33Thought the world would change by sunrise
03:37But the hurt just learned to hide
03:41The day you quit out running it
03:46Is the day your heart heals fast
03:49Let wisdom be your courage now
03:54Not the bottom of a glass
04:02It's a whiskey sunset boy
04:06And it's alright if you cry
04:11You're feeling what I once felt
04:15In those years I let slip by
04:20I never had an old hand there
04:24To keep me from the slime
04:29But helping you tonight son
04:32Feels like peace I never found inside
04:44He nodded through the quiet
04:48And we let the moment land
04:53Funny how you heal a lifetime
04:57Just by reaching out a hand
05:01It's a whiskey sunset fading slow
05:05But the boy will find his dawn
05:10And maybe that's the peace I chased
05:14Finally where it belonged
05:40And it's acheada
05:40It was a realize
05:40Even the objection
05:40Toilet
05:40Toilet
05:44Bring hands
