Song Description

We're trying to heal our bleeding hearts And the smoldering burn of desire By pouring this whiskey over our wounds As if whiskey could put out a fire

Lyrics

As If Whiskey Could Put Out A Fire
Michael R. J. Roth/ Eric Ramsey

I sat at a bar with some lonely hearts
Cracked and broken like ice in brown liquor
We were soothing our sorrows with songs of romance
Drinking hard so the clock would run quicker

Then we settled our tabs and wandered on home
To wait for the ache of tomorrow
When again we'll pour out some thoughts from a bottle
And sip the sweet poison of sorrow

Chorus:
We're trying to heal our bleeding hearts
And the smoldering burn of desire
By pouring this whiskey over our wounds
As if whiskey could put out a fire

We'll be wishing that we were somebody we're not
Till reality starts to set in
Thinking we might end it all with a shot
From the bottle that's our only friend

Chorus:
We're trying to heal our bleeding hearts
And the smoldering burn of desire
By pouring this whiskey over our wounds
As if whiskey could put out the fire

Bridge:
Then we'll stumble on home and surrender to sleep
And be back on our barstools tomorrow
It's better, it's kinder, than drinking alone
To share the sweet poison of sorrow

Chorus:
We're trying to heal our bleeding hearts
And the smoldering burn of desire
By pouring this whiskey over our wounds
As if whiskey could put out the fire
