Red Roses & Whiskey Tears

(mm-mm) A faded bouquet of red roses on the pine

Two empty whiskey glasses keeping time

You left your jacket hanging on the kitchen chair

And midnight memories still drifting in the air

That small-town gravel road

brought you to my door

One reckless glance, and we were falling to the floor (ooh-yeah)

Oh, that fire

burned too sweet and too fast

Irresistible heat

never meant to last

Now the morning light hurts like a brand on my chest

Just another sweet heartache laid down to rest

We talked all night about leaving this county line

Shared secrets tasted better than the rye

Now every quiet room is heavy with your ghost

It’s the wild kind of love that tears you up the most

That spark between us could've turned the plains to ash

Too beautiful to stop,

too dangerous to last (no,

no)

Oh, that fire

burned too sweet and too fast

Irresistible heat

never meant to last

Now the morning light hurts like a brand on my chest

Just another sweet heartache laid down to rest

(laid down to rest)

If I could do it all over again tonight

I’d still pour that whiskey and kill the porch light (yeah,

I would)

(sweet heartache... mm-mm)
