With raw, heartfelt lyrics and traditional instrumentals, it reflects the classic sound of Waylon Jennings while telling a timeless story of sorrow and yearning.
Verse 1:
In the corner of a crowded bar, I sit alone tonight,
Lost in the echoes of your voice, under neon lights so bright.
I reach for the whiskey, drown the ache inside,
But every drop reminds me, of the love I couldn't hide.
Chorus:
Lonesome shadows dance on the wall,
Whispering secrets of a love that had it all.
Every note of this sad, sad song,
Tells a tale where I don't belong.
Verse 2:
Your laughter used to fill the air, now silence wraps me tight,
Memories of you and me haunt me in the night.
I wear this solitude like a heavy coat of pain,
And every road I wander leads me back to you again.
Chorus:
Lonesome shadows dance on the wall,
Whispering secrets of a love that had it all.
Every note of this sad, sad song,
Tells a tale where I don't belong.
Bridge:
Guitar strings weeping like my weary heart,
In this honky-tonk, I'm falling apart.
The jukebox plays our favorite tune,
While I drink to forget 'neath a sad, silver moon.
Chorus:
Lonesome shadows dance on the wall,
Whispering secrets of a love that had it all.
Every note of this sad, sad song,
Tells a tale where I don't belong.
Outro:
So pour another glass and let it be,
A toast to the memories that won't set me free.
In the lonesome shadows, you've left your mark,
With every sad song, I'm lost in the dark.
