breaking rust - whiskey don't talk back lyrics

[verse 1]
got a porch full of memories, but the chairs all sit alone
used to be a fire in this house, now it’s just creaks in the bones
friends rode off like horses, chasing their own wind
i’m stuck with my shadow, and it don’t speak much again

[chorus]
the older i get, the quieter the night
the folks stop calling, and the phone quits its fight
i pour another glass (ooh), stare at what i like (ooh)
only thing that keeps me company is whiskey, don’t talk back

[verse 2]
i wore outlaw on my jacket, thought freedom was a pride
never knew that empty rooms were the toll i’d pay with time
and when it came like summer storms, hopped in, gone by dawn
now the beer’s a cold reminder of the roads i walked alone, mm+hm

[chorus]
the older i get, mm+hm (ah+ah), the quieter the night (ah+ah)
folks stop calling (ah+ah), mm, and the phone quits its fight
i pour another glass (ah+ah), stare at what i like (ah+ah)
only thing that keeps me company is whiskey, don’t talk back, mm

[bridge]
i ain’t begging for pity, just telling it straight (ah+ah)
you had run enough, son said, “you’d end up chasing your fate”
ain’t no glory in the silence, mm, when the jukebox dies
just a man and his past, and the truth he can’t deny
[chorus]
the older i get, mm+hm, the quieter the night, mm+hm
folks stop calling, mm+hm, and the phone quits its fight
i pour another glass (mm+hm), stare at what i like (mm+hm)
only thing that keeps me company is whiskey don’t talk back (mm+mm)

[outro]
so here’s to the lonely riders who thought they’d never fold
you don’t feel the weight of freedom ’til your boots get old, ah
i raise this glass to the darkness, let the memories fade to black
the night don’t owe me nothing, and whiskey don’t talk back
ah+ah, ah+ah
and whiskey, ah+ah, ah+ah
don’t talk back, mm+hm, mm+mm
mm+hm, mm, mm+hm, mm+mm
